About 20 percent of Gorontalo city's one million inhabitants will have their water disconnected for a week due to a construction project.

Sammy Salim, director of the Gornotalo branch of the State Water Company (PDAM), said water would be cut to about 20,000 customers for a week from 2 a.m. on Friday.

“It has to be done because we have to move the main distribution pipe due to canal construction,” Sammy said in the provincial capital of Gorontalo province, in northern Sulawesi.

“The pipe removal will take four days and we will continue with pipe distribution lines. The whole process will take a total of one week.”

Sammy said PDAM would distribute water using trucks, but customers were also advised to stock up on water supplies.

“We have a limited number of water trucks and it is possible that we will not be able to fulfill water needs for everyone in the next week,” he said.

The last big water crisis to hit a provincial capital occurred at the end of August when a burst dike in East Jakarta’s Kalimalang River caused more than half of PAM Lyonnaise Jaya’s (Palyja's) 420,000 customers in Jakarta to buy water for nine days.

Some shopping centers were forced to temporarily close due to unsanitary toilets.
