PAM to stop water supply to Kuningan

The City Water Company, PAM Jaya, temporarily cut off the water supply to the ministers' housing complex in Kuningan, South Jakarta, and the surrounding area, yesterday.

The stoppage was due to the repair of water main in the area.

"The water stoppage was unavoidable because we needed to repair the leaking water main on Jl. H.R. Rasuna Said," said Eben Koesbini, the company's technical director.

The repair work, which began at 2 a.m. yesterday, is expected to be finished off this evening.

Pending the completion of the repairs, residents will be able to receive clean water, provided by the company through water trucks, free of charge. (has)
