JAKARTA - Perumda PAM Jaya installed an alkon pump on the distribution of clean water to a number of dense settlements in Jakarta. The Alkon pump is a large thrust pump technology to optimize the distribution of water from communal reservoirs to household networks.

The pump is specially designed to help areas with low water pressure due to the distance from major water treatment installations.

Its use has been implemented in several areas such as Marunda Kepu, Kebon Blank, and other densely populated areas.

President Director of PAM Jaya, Arief Nasrudin, the use of the Alkon pump is part of a long-term effort to ensure an even supply of clean water in Jakarta.

"We want to ensure that there are no more residents who have difficulty getting clean water, especially in areas with low water pressure. We will continue to expand this program to other areas," said Arief in his statement, Monday, December 23.

Although this technology has had a positive impact, PAM Jaya faces major challenges, such as limited raw water sources and pollution problems. Arief emphasized that collaboration with the community and local governments is needed to maintain the sustainability of this program.

"The availability of raw water is key. We need the support of all parties to keep water sources clean and can be used," said Arief.

Sugeng, a resident of Marunda Kepu, admitted that previously he often experienced disruptions in clean water supply in his home environment. After the alcon pump is installed, the water pressure channeled to his house becomes more stable.

"Now the water pressure is much better than before. We used to have difficulty with water in the morning or evening, but now we can take a shower and cook without problems," said Sugeng.

However, not all residents are completely satisfied. Suparman, a resident of Kampung Melayu, emphasized the importance of periodic care.

"This change is good, but we hope that PAM Jaya will continue to maintain so that this quality does not fall again in the future," said Suparman.
