JAKARTA - The DKI Jakarta Provincial Government (Pemprov) said that so far three high buildings belonging to private companies in Jakarta have installed water mist generators.

"Yes, three private buildings have installed," said Head of Environmental Pollution and Damage Control of the DKI Jakarta Environmental Agency (DLH), Erni Pelita Fitratunnisa, quoted by ANTARA, Saturday, September 9.

The three private-owned buildings that have installed water mass generators include PT United Tractors, PT Pamapersada, and PT Soho Global Health.

"There are only three companies," said Erni.

"This is because there is one new water mass generator producer, then the raw materials of these tools on the market are still limited," explained Erni.

The graded buildings that are requested to install water mistgenerators are eight-story or 20-200 meters high. Meanwhile, Regional-Owned Enterprises (BUMD) buildings are still in process.

Spokesperson for the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government (Pemprov) Air Pollution Control Task Force Ani Ruspitawati ensured that almost all private parties were willing to install a water mist generator in her building.

In accordance with the direction of the Acting Governor of DKI Jakarta Heru Budi Hartono, other tall buildings will immediately complete the water mass.

The appeal was previously conveyed by the South Jakarta City Government (South Jakarta City Government) to building owners.

"Yes, we hope that (before September 11 is installed). Private buildings are ready to organize their own water fog. Later it will be further confirmed. The point is that we are all committed to installing water fog," said Ani.
