Nusantara Water Plant Produces Water That Can Be Drunk From the Tap
Nusantara, also known as IKN, is Indonesia’s new capital.
Its water treatment plant processes raw water from the Sepaku Semoi Reservoir and the Sepaku River.
The plant can treat 300 litres of water per second and sends it through nearly 16 kilometres of pipes to storage facilities.
An IKN official said the system can provide 150 litres of drinking-quality water per person each day.
Water quality is monitored daily at the plant and tested every six months by the independent company Sucofindo.
The reservoir holds 16 million cubic metres and allocates water for both IKN and Balikpapan.
