18-km water trunk line installed<\/p>\n
JAKARTA: PT Thames PAM Jaya has invested an additional Rp 60
\nbillion for the installation of an 18.1 kilometer trunk line with
\npipes ranging in diameter between 400 mm and 1,000 mm.<\/p>\n
TPJ director of communications and external affairs Rhamses
\nSimanjuntak said the project was required to meet the demand for
\nnew connections in several locations that were not currently
\nbeing served by the drinking water network, including Kebon Pala,
\nPinang Ranti, Makassar, Kalisari, Ciracas, and Kelapa Dua Wetan.
\nTo date, more than 2,000 households have applied for new
\nconnections in those areas while the total number of TPJ
\ncustomers has reached 324,073, Rhamses said after the symbolic
\ntrunk line groundbreaking ceremony on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Despite some customers' complaints over its poor service, the
\ncompany plans to increase the water tariff by between 25 percent
\nand 35 percent by the end of the year.<\/p>\n
PT TPJ is responsible for the processing, supply and
\ndistribution of clean water in the area east of the Ciliwung
\nriver while the western part is handled by PT PAM Lyonaise Jaya
\n(PALYJA), which has about 300,000 customers. --JP<\/p>",
