Perhitungan Kebutuhan Air Bersih dan Perencanaan Kebutuhan Infrastruktur Perpipaan PDAM di Kel Sako, Sako Baru, Sialang dan Sukamaju Kec. Sako Kota Palembang

Abstract

The service of clean water in urban areas is very important to be given special attention. PDAM Tirta Musi The Sako
Kenten Service Unit serves 4 sub-districts in Sako sub-district, including Sako, Sako Baru, Sialang, and Sukamaju. As the
area grows, the population also increases. It is estimated that in 2029 the total population in Sako sub-district will reach
106,273 people. Meanwhile, for now the population which only reaches 93,326 people, it is felt that there is a shortage
of clean water supply from PDAM. Based on the results of surveys and interviews, information was obtained that the
availability of clean water from PDAM in the Sako area is only 6,000 liters per month on average. This is not enough for
the population. It becomes a big task for PDAM Tirta Musi to prepare it by building an adequate pipeline network.
Another problem is the existing piping system does not support the flow with such a large discharge, so it requires a
network using the latest material, namely using HDPE pipes. The use of this material was chosen because HDPE does
not require much connection and the pipe is stronger than PVC pipe. After carrying out the survey and calculation of the
RAB, it was found that the need for a new network system reached Rp. 53,756,600,000, - in order to meet service standards
for 80% of the population in Sako District.
