Residents protest to laundry firm<\/p>\n
BOGOR (JP): Residents of Kedung Halang subdistrict north of
\nhere are complaining about their polluted wells, which they
\nsuspect to have been caused by PT Laundry Nusantara Jaya laundry
\nservice company.<\/p>\n
\"The company's fluid waste has run into our wells, turning the
\ncolor of the water blueish with offensive smell like a rotten
\negg,\" Maesaroh, a resident who lives just next to the company,
\nsaid on Monday.<\/p>\n
She said residents of the subdistrict have frequently asked
\nfor clean water from their neighbors in nearby subdistricts.<\/p>\n
A neighborhood unit chief, Engkus, said the residents had
\npreviously protested to the company over the waste they dumped
\ninto the Ciparigi river, commonly used by residents for bathing
\nand washing clothes.<\/p>\n
Engkus said the company then provided waste containers. He
\nsuspected the offensive smell came from the containers when they
\nwere cleaned each week.<\/p>\n
Laundry Nusantara Jaya's chief Karnadi was not available for
