Road work on bridge bursts water pipe

JAKARTA: British tap water company PT Thames PAM Jaya (TPJ)
said on Monday that work on a bridge on Jl. Perintis Kemerdekaan
in East Jakarta by the City Public Works Agency had damaged one
of its main pipes affecting water distribution to several areas
in the capital.

"We think water distribution to Rawamangun in East Jakarta,
part of Sunter in North Jakarta, Kelapa Gading in North Jakarta,
and Cempaka Putih in Central Jakarta, will be effected for three
to four days," PT TPJ spokesman Ramses Simanjuntak was quoted by
Antara as saying.

The company said that it was still investigating the broken
pipe but would prepare water trucks to distribute water to the
affected areas. --JP
