PAM Jaya to Implement Tariff Increase in Jakarta Starting January 2025
Jakarta, CNN Indonesia — The Jakarta Provincial Water Supply Utilities (PAM Jaya) is set to raise its water tariff in the Jakarta metropolitan area starting January 1, 2025. This decision was announced by PAM Jaya’s Director General, Arief Nasrudin, who cited several compelling reasons for the increase.
One of the main objectives of the tariff hike is to expedite the connection of new pipelines to the existing infrastructure. "We will prioritize the upgrade of old pipelines and accelerate the implementation of new ones, aiming for 100% piped water supply in Jakarta by 2030," Arief said.
The move is also geared towards preserving and revitalizing underground water resources. Arief mentioned that PAM Jaya aims to reverse the depletion of Jakarta’s groundwater, a significant challenge exacerbated by climate change and urbanization.
Furthermore, the tariff adjustment will not solely consist of increases; some segments of customers will, in fact, experience a reduction in their bills. PAM Jaya will continue to offer subsidized rates to low-income households as part of its social responsibility programs.
