“ADB is pleased to continue working with Indonesia to expand access to improved sanitation services, which are key to a healthy and productive population," Tominaga added.
The project will improve and expand existing sanitation systems by constructing WWTPs with a combined daily capacity of 57,000 cubic meters and approximately 200 kilometers of sewer networks. Design measures to ensure climate and disaster resilience have been incorporated, such as constructing elevated structures to guard the WWTPs against future flooding, implementing drainage systems at the WWTP sites to manage stormwater volumes, and installing a breakwater to mitigate the impact of high tides and flooding.
Furthermore, the project will concentrate efforts on improving fecal sludge management facilities, strengthening regulatory frameworks, and enhancing the operational efficiency of sanitation service operators in areas such as governance, digitization, and asset management. (WHY)
