The Capital Archipelago Authority (OIKN) ensures that raw water facilities are ready to flow clean water to the City of Nusantara, IKN, which was built in parts of North Penajam Paser Regency and Kutai Kartanegara Regency, East Kalimantan Province.

"We have reviewed the raw water facilities, and it is certain that there are no obstacles for clean water for the city of Nusantara," said Deputy Chief of OIKN Raja Juli Antoni as quoted by ANTARA, Monday, July 22.

Especially the provision of clean water during the implementation of a series of state events to the 79th Anniversary of the Independence of the Republic of Indonesia at IKN on August 17, 2024.

"Clean water is a priority for attention because of basic needs that must be met immediately," he added.

From the results of the review, it is confirmed that the Sepaku River Intake has a capacity of 3,000 liters per second and the Semoi Sepaku Dam has a capacity of 2,500 liters per second as a source of raw water, ready to support the flow of clean water in the city of Nusantara.

The supply of raw water to drain clean water in stage one comes from the Sepaku Intake, which is processed through the drinking water supply system (SPAM) which is adjacent to the Sepaku Intake.

Then the raw water that has been processed by SPAM is flowed through a 16-kilometer pipe to the center of the IKN government.

"Furthermore, clean water is distributed to every building or building used for state events, in stage one," he explained.

At IKN, there is a SPAM pump room that functions to drain water from the reservoir to the water treatment plant (IPA).

The place for providing clean water (reservoir) for water reservoirs that have been processed from SPAM Intake Sepaku has also been prepared in the core area of the Nusantara City government center (KIPP).

"Clean water from these reservoirs which will be distributed to all units at KIPP, all must be ensured to function properly so that state events can run smoothly and successfully," said Raja Juli Antoni.
