emarang city water-tap provider PDAM Tirto Moedal ensured the water flowing to its customers is not polluted after a body was found to have been floating in the Siranda reservoir for 16 days.
PDAM Tirto Moedal president director Yudi Indardo told reporters on Friday that water from the reservoir had not been supplied to the customers in the past two months.
“Therefore, our customers are not affected by the body found in the reservoir,” he said.

Yudi added that the Siranda reservoir has been used as a backup water source since March but has been kept below its full capacity of 3,750 cubic meters to maintain the Dutch structure built in 1912.
“The reservoir was last used on July 5 as a backup supply to some 3,000 customers, or 1.5 percent of total customers, because of system repair in West Semarang,” he said.
