BPJPH Awards Halal Certificate to Perumda Tirta Pakuan Bogor City
The Indonesian Halal Product Guarantee Agency (BPJPH) has presented a halal certificate to the Perumda Tirta Pakuan regional public company serving Bogor City. The certification ensures that the water processing and supply operations managed by the regional company comply with halal standards under the Halal Product Guarantee scheme.
The certificate was presented symbolically by BPJPH Secretary General Muhammad Aqil Irham to Perumda Tirta Pakuan Chief Executive Rino Indira Gusniawan. The ceremony took place at the Cipinang Gading Water Supply System in Mulyaharja District, South Bogor, on Monday. Bogor Mayor Dedie A Rachim attended the event.
Muhammad Aqil Irham stated that water plays a fundamental role in society, serving both daily consumption needs and religious purification purposes, or thaharah. “Water is a vital aspect of our lives. Beyond daily needs, water is also used for religious purification. With this halal certification, the community has certainty that the clean water supply process meets guaranteed principles of cleanliness, quality, and standards,” Irham said in a written statement on Monday, 9 March 2026.
He added that access to water meeting halal standards provides significant benefits to businesses, particularly in the food and beverage sector seeking halal certification. “Many cafes and restaurants are currently striving to obtain halal certificates. The availability of water that is guaranteed in quality and halal compliance will help them meet requirements in the certification process,” he noted.
Bogor Mayor Dedie A Rachim welcomed the achievement, saying the halal certification of the water supply system represents an important step in strengthening public confidence in clean water services in Bogor City. “With this halal certificate, the community gains assurance that the water processing they use has passed clear standards and is accountable,” Dedie stated.
Perumda Tirta Pakuan Chief Executive Rino Indira Gusniawan explained that water processing involves various technical components in the system, requiring all materials and processing stages to comply with halal standards. “Water processing involves various components, from pipe networks to machine lubricants. We ensure all of this meets required standards to provide certainty to the community,” he said.
Perumda Tirta Pakuan currently serves approximately 200,000 customers from around 300,000 households in Bogor City. “With the acquisition of the halal certificate, the clean water service not only meets quality standards but also supports the strengthening of the local halal product ecosystem,” he concluded.
