Head of PUPR Ministry's Task Force for IKN Infrastructure Development Danis Sumadilaga stated in Jakarta on Friday that ready-to-drink water has been flowing to the city's main drinking water reservoir and is ready for distribution to residents.
Regarding power supply, he assured that state-run electricity company PT PLN had prepared all the requisite infrastructures and resources.
The PUPR Ministry conducted the third water flow test for the water supply by channeling it from the Sepaku Drinking Water Treatment Plant (WTP) to the main reservoir located at Nusantara's highest point.
The water flow test is an important part of the operation of the Sepaku drinking water supply system (SPAM), which is instrumental in ensuring sufficient supply of water for IKN residents.
Sepaku SPAM consists of a WTP with a capacity of 300 liters per second, a 16-kilometer-long transmission pipe, a reservoir, and a 22-kilometer-long distribution pipe.
Phase 1 of the Sepaku SPAM is expected to serve several buildings, including the Presidential Office and State Palace, as well as the buildings of the State Secretariat Ministry, the Presidential Guard Forces (Paspampres), and four coordinating ministries.
It will also provide water to ministerial houses, residences for civil servants, galleries, amphitheaters, and service areas, as well as a range of public facilities, such as hotels, schools, shops, and hospitals.
Following the flow test, the government proceeded to drain the water network system and monitor the water quality to ensure that the water supplied to IKN is clean and conforms to applicable health standards.
