Quality of drinking water declines

Quality of drinking water declines

From Kompas

For the past few months the quality of drinking water produced by the Jakarta Administration's water utility in cooperation with Lyonnais (a foreign company) has been highly unsatisfactory. The water is turbid, and the pressure is poor. But, sadly, the bills keep increasing. In fact, the company has increased the price twice this year, yet the quality of the water remains poor.

It is not even suitable for brushing your teeth, nor for bathing, let alone for drinking. So, I have to use the shower. It appears that consumers have no rights whatsoever in these circumstances!

I hope the drinking water utility will be responsive enough to listen to the public's concerns and do its best to improve the quality of the water it provides.
