BP Batam together with Air Batam Hilir will soon carry out pipe interconnection work in the RW 01 area of Sengkuang Village, Batu Ampar.
This effort is a close solution to overcome the disruption of water supply in the area, especially residents in RT 01, RT 02, RT 03 and RT 05.
This was emphasized by Member/Deputy for General Services, Ariastuty Sirait, during a gathering with affected residents at Fasum RT 02/RW 01, Sengkuang, Friday (12/12) night.
“BU SPAM together with ABH will make pipe interconnections to connect the main network to the residents’ home networks, and given the current weather it can take 1 to 2 weeks of work,” she said.
For this reason, he asked residents to be more patient until the interconnection installation process was completed and in the middle of the work, his party would add water tank fleet facilities.
Furthermore, he expressed his full commitment to continue to increase service capacity and strengthen drinking water infrastructure so that community needs are met evenly and sustainably.
“The government is present to ensure that the basic needs of citizens are met. Hopefully this immediate solution will run smoothly and is best for all,” she said.
Iyus Rusmana, Director of BU SPAM, Facilities and Environment of BP Batam, added that in the initial stage, his party will work on the interconnection of DN 63 mm pipes from the high-pressure pipeline network located near the area.
“The team has analyzed, from the high-pressure network, a 140-meter network will be connected and connected to residents’ homes,” he said.
Next, BP Batam will also revitalize the pipeline network and add a pipeline with a capacity of 100 liters per second and a booster which is planned to be completed and operated in June next year, so that it can meet the needs of clean water in Tanjung Sengkuang and Batu Merah villages.
“BP Batam has prepared short, medium and long term solutions for each stress area,” he explained.
Meanwhile, Chairman of RW 01, Abdul Aziz welcomed the solution given to overcome the disruption of clean water supply. He and the residents will support and oversee the course of the water distribution service improvement program, especially the interconnection installation in the near future in his area.
“Thank you for the presence of BP Batam and ABH, we really appreciate it and then we will guard this interconnection work,” he exclaimed.
The meeting was also attended by ABH Distribution Manager, Muflihin, Tanjung Sengkuang Village Head, M. Al Kindi, RW and RT officials and affected community leaders in RW 01 Tanjung Sengkuang. (AP)
