closed

The nationwide deficiencies of water resources management, contaminated raw water sources, unsafe drinking water, and unsafe disposal arrangements for liquid and solid wastes have been a cause for concern for the Government of Indonesia. The objectives of the Second Jabotabek Urban Development Project are to develop and implement a program of physical investments, technical assistance and policies for urban water supply, waste water disposal, drainage and water resource/quality management which : a) balances the existing treatment capacity with required transmission and distribution networks; b) increases the piped water supply from 28 percent to 56 percent of the population; c) results in improved service for the urban poor through construction of standpipes; d) improves waste water disposal and drainage; e) strengthens management, staffing and financial viability of water supply and sewerage institutions and f) strengthens water resources planning capabilities. These objectives will be achieved through : 1) the PDAM Jaya System Improvement Project including primary distribution facilities, extension of service mains and institutional improvements; b) the raw water pipeline to Pejompongan; 3) the treated water transmission main; 4) priority drainage and flood control components in Jakarta; 5) technical assistance for water resources management, institutional development, and planning and pricing studies; and 6) reduce water related environmental pollution in Jakarta.
