People can just bring their own bottles or tumblers,Jakatya (ANTARA) – The Regional Public Company Air Minum (PAM) Jaya plans to provide drinking water facilities along Sudirman-Thamrin Street in Jakarta.“We’ll set up a dispenser counter. People can just bring their own bottles or tumblers,” said Prasetyo Edi Marsudi, Chairman of the PAM Jaya Supervisory Board in Jakarta on Monday.Prasetyo stated that the program is still in the planning stages and will be implemented once PAM Jaya's piped water service reaches 100 percent coverage.”Once 100 percent (piped water service) is connected, we'll make a breakthrough by creating a single-package water product that doesn't use plastic. It will be available in all corners of Jakarta,” he said.PAM Jaya has also introduced an innovative water purifier, considered a strategic solution for providing safe, efficient, and environmentally friendly drinking water while reducing plastic waste.Data from the Regionally-Owned Enterprises Development Agency (BP BUMD) in April shows that the installation of water purifiers in public facilities has reached 601 units, an increase of 80 units between January and March 2026.
