TEMPO Interactive, Surabaya:Managing Director of the Surabaya Tap Water Provider (PDAM) Mohammad Selim has said that destitute people, or what is known as low income communities (MBR) have a discount of 50 percent to install PDAM clean water.
“The dispensation given is for the installation of new pipes at home,” said Selim, on Monday (15/1)
He said that the program was to increase public welfare.
Poor people’s health, he said, must be preserved by getting clean water distribution.
Surabaya PDAM Public Relations Officer, Sunarno, said that the service was in effect only from March to August.
“So they have to register immediately,” he said.
The fee for new clean water installation for MBRs is only between Rp450,000 and Rp500,000.
Without a discount, they normally pay Rp1 million.
The criteria for people getting the discount, say Sunarno, is residents living in homes of less than 60 m2 in size, with a street width of less than six meters and the owners must have proof of ownership.
Another requirement, said Sunarno, is they have to be able to pay the bill every month.
The total production of Surabaya PDAM is 8,500 liters per second.
The PDAM clean water has been distributed to 72 percent of Surabaya residents.
