Water Source
Tangerang's municipal supply is managed by local PDAM utilities and comes from a mix of treated surface water (local rivers/reservoirs in the greater Jakarta/Banten area) and groundwater. Water is treated and chlorinated at plants, but aging distribution pipes and leakage can allow contamination before it reaches taps.
