Water scarce in Bogor

Water scarce in Bogor

From Kompas

We, the residents of Bumi Indra Prasta Housing complex in Bogor, West Java, are having difficulties obtaining water. We have to stay awake until midnight to run water from the tap because at 5 a.m. not a single drop of water comes out of it. Water from the Drinking Water Company returns to households no earlier than 11 p.m.

In fact there is a reservoir near our complex. But the reservoir is not functioning because, according to the Company, the water pump equipment was struck by lightning.

Ironically, if a resident fails to pay the water bill on time, the Company never hesitates to remove the household meter. We only hope that the reservoir can serve its purpose again, soon.
