Tap water consumers union founded

MAGELANG, Central Java: A new group calling itself The
Association of Indonesian Tap Water Consumers (AFPAMI) was
announced here on Thursday, with an aim to help customers secure
their rights against tap water companies.

The declaration was read out by chairman of the Magelang Forum
of Tap Water Consumers, Suyono Nurwahadi, who said that 30 forums
across the country supported the association.

He said the association was sparked by the forums' desire for
better management of tap water, which is facing an increase in
demand.

Executives of the tap water customers unions met in Magelang
amid complaints about tap water rates, which are not affordable
for some people. -- Antara
