Nothing is free in this world. In fact, in order to extinguish fires, the Fire Department apparently still has to pay a certain amount of money for water being drawn from the fire hydrants "said Head of Fire and Disaster Management Jakarta, Paimin Napitupulu at City Hall on Monday, (3 / 10).
He explained that every month, Jakarta Fire Department pays approximately Rp11 million to PT PAM.for water used to fight fires in public areas. This cost does not include interest incurred by Jakarta offices in five other regions.
"The total number can be up to Rp70 million per month, to pay for water from 1418 hydrants in Jakarta," he explained.
Nevertheless, not all hydrants are functioning. Only approximately 40 percent function, while the rest do not work and or fail to produce water. "But we still pay in full to the PT PAM, because the fire hydrants there are leased," he said. ( freely translated )
