Tangerang residents complain over water

TANGERANG: Residents of Tangerang regency have complained about the poor quality of tap water supplied by the regency-owned Tirta Kerta Raharja (TKR) water company.

"The water supplied to our house is usually dirty and muddy. Only on holidays can the water be used for cooking," said Eliya Roza, 32, a resident of the Perumnas I housing complex in Karawaci, on Friday.

Other residents had similar complaints.

According to a TKR employee, the dirty water is caused by broken pipes and aging water pumps. -- Antara
