Minister of Social Affairs (Mensos) Tri Rismaharini promised clean water to enter people's homes in Roof Village, Sembakung District, Nunukan Regency, North Kalimantan (Kaltara).

"I continue to make water into the homes, I promise that," said Social Minister Risma to be greeted with great enthusiasm by the community during her working visit in Sembakung District, Nunukan, Kaltara, Tuesday, January 24, and was confiscated by Antara.

Currently, the drinking water treatment system has been established at the Roof Village Head's Office, so that people can immediately get water ready to drink.

The Roof Village is an area that is lagging behind, frontier and outermost (3T). During the dry season and being flooded, the area often experiences difficulty with clean water.

At the Roof Village Head's office, the public can immediately take ready-to-drink water. The drinking-ready water treatment machine consists of a water reservoir, pipeline, reverse osmosis engine and profiling tank, which produces 1,200 liters of water per 1.5 hours for 200 families.

Social Minister Risma said that the water that will enter people's homes is not the quality of drinking water, but clean water. Because it will be very expensive to care for, and it will cost a lot to maintain the piping network.

In 2023, the Ministry of Social Affairs is determined to realize the flow of clean water into the homes of Sembakung residents.

"What we provide is clean water, later we will try to enter the houses. So it's not drinking water, right, so we have to cook it first if we want to use it," he concluded.
