PAM Jaya and PALJAYA Revitalise Communal Sanitation Facilities in Manggarai
Jakarta — PAM Jaya and PALJAYA have collaborated to revitalise communal bathing, washing and toilet (MCK) facilities in RW 09, Manggarai Sub-district, South Jakarta, which had suffered damage to their buildings and support systems.
PAM Jaya Operational Director Syahrul Hasan said the repair of the communal facilities was part of a shared responsibility to maintain the quality of life for Jakarta residents.
"The need for clean water and proper sanitation is the foundation of public health. When shared facilities are repaired and well managed, the impact extends beyond comfort to the overall quality of the environment," Syahrul said in Jakarta on Friday.
He noted that small steps at the neighbourhood level can deliver significant long-term benefits, including maintaining river cleanliness and preventing pollution.
Two MCK facilities have already been fully revitalised, namely those in RT 14 and RT 15 of RW 09 Manggarai. In addition to building repairs, the facilities are now equipped with biopal waste treatment systems so that waste is no longer discharged directly into drains or rivers, making them more environmentally friendly and compliant with health standards.
The revitalisation also carries important benefits for residents: with more adequate facilities and improved waste treatment systems, the risk of environmental contamination and bacterial exposure, such as E. coli, can be reduced.
Through this collaboration, PAM Jaya reaffirmed its commitment to continuing support for healthier and better-managed environments.
Going forward, it is hoped that there will no longer be any damaged sanitation facilities or indiscriminate waste disposal, so that Jakarta can continue progressing towards becoming a clean, healthy and comfortable global city for all its residents.
Meanwhile, PALJAYA President Director Untung Suryadi said the revitalisation programme also represented a form of environmental stewardship.
"The MCK in RT 14 has been connected to the centralised domestic wastewater treatment system. Waste that was previously discharged into the river is now channelled by gravity to the treatment facility, so it no longer pollutes the environment," Untung said.
