TASIKMALAYA, Thecuy.com – The issue of clean water services in Tasikmalaya City demands a long‑term remedy.
The local government is now bolstering the drinking‑water management institution as a key condition to secure central government aid for constructing a large‑scale Drinking Water Supply System (SPAM).
The Head of the Residential Sector at the Department of Public Works and Spatial Planning (PUTR) of Tasikmalaya City, H. Yayan Nurpatoni, ST., MM, stated that establishing the UPTD for Drinking Water and Domestic Wastewater would be a crucial step to meet that demand.
Urban planning permits are accelerating, prompting the Tasikmalaya City PUTR to prepare field supervision; the city’s RDTR is slated for completion by 2027, enabling faster business permit processing.
According to him, the UPTD handling drinking water and domestic wastewater services is expected to become the foundation for developing the city’s water management institution in the future.
“Praise be, by the end of 2024 we have already established the UPTD for drinking water. In the future, this could become the seed for building the Tasikmalaya City PDAM,” he said recently (7/11/2026).
Yayan clarified that the presence of a management agency is an essential requirement when the regional government seeks central government assistance for SPAM development.
This is because the central government needs assurance regarding the entity that will operate and receive the built infrastructure assets.
One potential option under consideration is constructing a SPAM sourced from the Citanduy River and the Ciwulan River.
He noted that large‑scale SPAM construction would require a capacity of roughly 50 liters per second.
With an estimated cost of around Rp1 billion per liter per second, a project of that capacity would demand a massive amount of funding.

“If we need 50 liters per second, the budget will be extraordinary. The city cannot manage on its own; therefore, we are trying to propose it to the central government,” he explained.
To support this plan, PUTR is also exploring potential sites and technical requirements. One alternative being studied is the Sengkoku Dam area in Ciamis Regency.
Discussions with the River Basin Management Authority (BBWS) indicate that the water management potential at that location can still be further investigated.
Nevertheless, implementing the plan will still require several steps, ranging from water source utilization approval, land readiness, technical planning, environmental document preparation, to land acquisition.
