Looking a Head / Planning for the Future
At contract mid-term, PALYJA, the public water authority PAM Jaya and the DKI Regional Government of Jakarta still have major challenges for the remaining period 2011-2023.
MAJOR OUTSTANDING ISSUES AND CHALLENGES
Investments financed through the tariff (“full cost recovery” scheme) are much too low to cope with proper management of existing and ageing assets, service levels improvement, growing water demand and service coverage extension. Alternative financing should be mobilized;
Fight against illegal connections and illegal use (relying on public authority support and actions) are at stake to significantly improve Non Revenue Water (NRW) to reach less than 30% target at contract term.

MEETING WATER DEMAND
Deep well conversion as promoted by DKI through the new Water Tax Policy for Key account customers is key to mitigate city subsidence;
Mobilizing new water resources in the near future with the help of the local and central government is key to keep improving and extending the service.
