        "content": "<p>Gianyar Police Chief AKBP Chandra Kesuma has inaugurated a borehole\nwell in Banjar Pinda, Saba Village, Blahbatuh District, Gianyar, Bali.\nThe new well, named Tirta Chandra Kupa, is expected to serve as a source\nof clean water for the residents of Pinda.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe hope the existence of the Tirta Chandra Kupa borehole well can be\na useful facility for the people of Pinda,\u201d Chandra said in a statement\non Thursday (25\/6\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>According to Chandra, several Pinda residents often struggle to\nobtain clean water for their daily needs. He noted that the inauguration\nof the new borehole well was held in conjunction with the 80th\nBhayangkara Day.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThrough this programme, the Indonesian National Police is present\nnot only as a protector, guardian, and public servant in the field of\nsecurity, but also strives to provide solutions to the community\u2019s basic\nneeds,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>The borehole well is not a conventional well where water is drawn by\nbucket. A water source near the Banjar Pinda building is pumped to a\nstorage tank. Residents who wish to collect water can simply turn on a\ntap installed nearby.<\/p>\n<p>It is understood that residents of Banjar Pinda frequently experience\ndifficulties obtaining clean water despite subscribing to the Gianyar\nmunicipal water company (PDAM).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe water often stops running. Residents have complained many\ntimes,\u201d said Ketut Keler, the traditional leader of Banjar Pinda.<\/p>\n<p>Keler noted that the same problem is also often experienced by\nresidents of Banjar Saba and Banjar Pring. Lina Apsari, a resident of\nBanjar Pinda, confirmed the situation, saying that residents usually use\nthe Petanu River for bathing when the PDAM water supply to their homes\nis cut off. The Petanu River is located not far from the Pinda\nneighbourhood. According to Lina, residents have been greatly helped by\nthe borehole well inaugurated by the Gianyar Police. \u201cYes, that is a new\nborehole well for the residents here,\u201d she said.<\/p>",
