        "content": "<p>JAKARTA \u2013 The Drinking Water Supply System (SPAM) Lampahan in Bener\nMeriah District, Aceh Province, has returned to operational status\nfollowing damage caused by a disaster.<\/p>\n<p>The infrastructure currently provides clean water services to nearly\n3,000 households (KK).<\/p>\n<p>Public Works Minister Dody Hanggodo confirmed efforts to accelerate\nthe restoration of clean water services to the community. During his\ninspection, Dody reviewed the condition of the Batu Lepek intake, which\nis a critical component of the SPAM Lampahan system.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was damaged previously, but we have repaired it and it is now\nfunctional. The SPAM Lampahan is able to provide clean water services to\nalmost 3,000 households,\u201d said Dody, as reported on Tuesday (10 March\n2026).<\/p>\n<p>He emphasised that the Public Works Ministry continues to push for\naccelerated handling of drinking water infrastructure so that\ncommunities can resume receiving optimal clean water services.<\/p>\n<p>Work is being carried out in stages, beginning with the restoration\nof water sources, repair of treatment infrastructure, and strengthening\nof the distribution system.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter this, we will add a new Water Treatment Facility (IPA) with a\ncapacity of 20 litres per second. So, our hope is that all water\nsupplied to households has gone through a treatment process so that we\ncan minimise contamination or bacteria,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the Head of the Aceh Building, Infrastructure and Regional\nManagement Office (BPBPK), Tommy Permadhy, stated that the Lampahan IPA\nplays an important role for communities in the surrounding area.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Lampahan IPA has a capacity of around 20 to 30 litres per second\nand is able to meet the clean water needs of around 4 to 5 villages in\nthe surrounding area. Alhamdulillah, this facility is currently\nbeginning to be put into operation,\u201d said Tommy.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, the BPBPK Aceh team has carried out various\nhandling measures, including clearing landslide materials and sediment\nfrom the intake area and reopening access to the site so that repair\nwork can proceed more optimally.<\/p>\n<p>In the future, the Public Works Ministry will continue work on the\nrecovery and upgrade of the SPAM Lampahan infrastructure so that clean\nwater service coverage for communities in Bener Meriah District\nincreases further.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will also repair the distribution pipes that were damaged in\nseveral places due to the disaster. Currently, several have been\nrepaired. Our hope is that in the future we can provide broader service\ncoverage to communities in Bener Meriah and the surrounding areas,\u201d\nconcluded Tommy.<\/p>",
