In a strategic move aimed at improving clean water services in Pangandaran, West Java, Wilo Pumps Indonesia has explored collaboration with PDAM Tirta Prabawa Mukti. The meeting, held on April 3, 2024, involved key stakeholders including PDAM Tirta Prabawa Mukti and the Pangandaran Regional Government.
Present at the event were the Director of PDAM Tirta Prabawa Mukti along with their team, the Head of Economic Affairs Department, the Head of Regional Development Planning Agency (Bappeda), and members of the Supervisory Board. During the meeting, Wilo Pumps Indonesia, led by the Director of PT Wilo Pumps Indonesia, Mr. David Haliyanto, provided insights into the company's history, products, and proposed collaboration plans to support water infrastructure development initiatives in the region.
Data from 2021 indicates that the drinking water service level provided by PERUMDA Tirta Prabawa Mukti has only reached 3.67%, serving 15,860 people out of a total population of 432,599. Additionally, 45,891 individuals, or 10.61% of the population, receive services from non-PDAM piped network systems (SPAM), while the majority of the remaining population relies on non-piped SPAM.
Discussions during the meeting included an evaluation of a potential new water source at Cibodas in Cibanteng Village, which is expected to support service improvement efforts by PERUMDA. This source, with a capacity of 50 liters per second, is planned to serve the domestic and industrial needs of customers in the surrounding area, as part of efforts to provide better and broader water infrastructure in the region.
This collaboration aims to accelerate the achievement of the drinking water service target of 86.83% by 2040, as outlined in the Pangandaran Drinking Water and Sanitation Master Plan (SPAM).
