JAKARTA - A number of refugees from the earthquake disaster in Nagrak Village, Nagrak Village, Cianjur, West Java, used sewer water on the side of the road for activities or needs in refugee tents. A refugee at the location, Yusuf (38) said he had used the sewer water since he was evacuated due to the earthquake. The residents in the evacuation tent stemmed the sewer water using materials from the rubble of the house. "Yes, it's because he thinks the water in the ditch is still clean enough to be used." It seems that this water is also clean because there is a PDAM pipe leaking because it is damaged, right above this is the source of PDAM water in the Cirumput area, but if we bathe in SMP Negeri 5 Cianjur," he said.

The refugee tents inhabited by Yusuf are made of makeshift tarpaulins. In the tent, he said there were as many as 20 families who fled because the house was damaged. Previously, Cianjur Regent Herman Suherman said that the PDAM water flow was hampered because a number of pipes were damaged by the earthquake. To deal with this, his party also sent clean water using tank trucks. "And yesterday at the time of evacuation, many vehicles, so the pipe repairs were very difficult because they needed equipment, and needed large pipes," said Herman, Friday, November 25 yesterday.
