Water company apologizes

JAKARTA (JP): City-owned water company PDAM Jaya has apologized to its customers for the temporary suspension of water supplies between 7:45 a.m. and 5 p.m. yesterday.

The head of the firm's marketing section, Agus Tabrani, said in a press release that the delay was caused by a lack of water supply from Jatiluhur dam in West Java.

Agus gave no further details but said the dam was one of the facilities used by watersport athletes preparing for the upcoming SEA Games.

The dam will also be used during the SEA Games, he said. (bsr)
