Melibatkan Swasta Bukan Solusi Pembenahan PDAM. (Involving Private Enterprise Not The Solution To Fix PDAM)

Source: Investor Daily

Ketua Umum Perpamsi Ridwan SM mengatakan usaha untuk melibatkan swasta itu upaya yang bagus tapi itu bukanlah hal yang mudah. Pada dasarnya PDAM tidak menolak keinginan swasta untuk berpartisipasi, selama memiliki komitmen dalam usaha pemenuhan kebutuhan air minum dan tidak semata- mata untuk kepentingan bisnis. Masuknya swasta bisa mengakibatkan biaya operasional semakin tinggi yang nantinya di masukkan dalam komponen perhitungan tarif. Untuk mengatasi masalah tersebut Pemerintah Pusat harus melihat permasalahan lebih luas dan membahasnya secara komprehensif. Pemerintah pusat harus memberikan dukungan dalam hal ini masalah pendanaan yang dibutuhkan.
