UJUNGPANDANG, South Sulawesi: Only 40 percent of the 300,000
population of Jeneponto regency get clean water from the local
water company PDAM, Antara reported.

Burhan, the director of the company, cited lack of springs as
the cause of its limited ability to meet the public demand. In
order to meet the need for potable water in some dry areas in the
regency, the company has set up 50 public hydrants and provided 2
water tanks to go to even remoter places. (swe)
