PDAM Jayapura Pastikan Layanan Air Bersih Segera Normal

JAYAPURA - Sejumlah pipa transmisi utama dan distribusi milik Perusahaan Daerah Air Minum (PDAM) Jayapura dilaporkan mengalami kerusakan parah akibat hujan deras di wilayah setempat, Kamis (6/1/2022) malam. 

Akibatnya, ribuan pelanggan tak terlayani air bersih pasca hujan deras yang menyebabkan banjir hingga longsor di beberapa titik wilayah Jayapura.

Dirut PDAM Jayapura, Entis Sutisna memastikan proses perbaikan masih terus dilakukan sampai saat ini, khususnya di kawasan sumber air Kojabu dan Kampwolker. 

Pihaknya menargetkan seluruh layanan air bersih kepada pelanggan, bakal kembali normal 100 persen pada Rabu (12/1/2022) mendatang.

“Kerusakan di intake Kojabu ini cukup parah sehingga menyebabkan mengapa proses perbaikan masih dilakukan sampai hari ini. Tapi kami prediski pelayan bisa normal kembali pada 12 Januari,” kata Entis, Senin (10/1/2022), di Jayapura. 

Menurut dia, proses perbaikan pipa transmisi dan distribusi di wilayah Jayapura Utara saat ini sudah rampung sejak Minggu (9/1/2022) sore. Hanya saja untuk wilayah Jayapura Selatan masih butuh waktu beberapa hari, untuk memperbaikan pipa yang patah di kawasan Jaya Asri. 

“Pemikiran kita untuk perbaikan layanan air bersih di wilayah Jayapura Selatan sudah tuntas. Ternyata tadi pagi dapat informasi ada kerusakan pipa di jalan alternatif dekat Jaya Asri. Dan kami sudah perbaiki hari ini juga,” tutur ia. 

Entis berharap masyarakat dapat bersabar menunggu proses perbaikan yang sementara berlangsung. Sehingga jika tak ada hambatan berarti, diperkirakan layanan air bersih kepada masyarakat sudah bisa kembali pulih 100 persen dalam dua hari mendatang. 

“Mudah-mudahan cuaca mendukung untuk perbaikan oleh tim kami,” tutupnya.

JAYAPURA - A number of main transmission and distribution pipes belonging to Regional Drinking Water Company of Jayapura suffered severe damage due to heavy rains in the local area on Thursday (6/1/2022) night.

As a result, thousands of customers were underserved with clean water after heavy rains that caused floods to landslides in some regions of Jayapura.

Director of Regional Drinking Water Company of Jayapura, Entis Sutisna told reporters that the repair process is still being carried out to this day, especially in the Kojabu and Kampwolker water source areas.

It targets all clean water services to customers, and will return to 100 percent normal on Wednesday (12/1/2022).

"The damage in Kojabu intakes is severe enough to cause why the repair process is still carried out to this day. But we predicted the service can return to normal on January 12," said Entis, Monday (10/1/2022), in Jayapura.

According to him, the process of repairing transmission and distribution pipes in the North Jayapura region has now been completed since Sunday (9/1/2022) afternoon. It's just that for the South Jayapura area it still takes a few days to repair a broken pipe in the Jaya Asri area.

"Our thoughts for the improvement of clean water services in the South Jayapura region have been completed. It turned out that this morning there was a pipe damage on an alternative road near Jaya Asri. And we've fixed it today as well," he said.

Entis hopes the community can be patient waiting for the temporary repair process to take place. So if there are no significant obstacles, it is estimated that clean water services to the community can be restored 100 percent in the next two days.

"Hopefully the weather will support repair by our team."
