Gorontalo officials address water shortages and public service improvements

Gorontalo Regent Sofyan Puhi inspected the Bulota Water Treatment Plant (IPAL) following a significant drop in water flow. The current debit has decreased to approximately 15–16 liters per second, down from a maximum capacity of 60 liters per second. The Regent emphasized the need for long-term capacity planning to ensure consistent clean water supplies, noting that recent rainfall may help replenish raw water sources.

In Gorontalo City, Commission I of the Regional House of Representatives (DPRD) is pushing for improvements in public services and data management. During an evaluation of the National Socio-Economic Single Data (DTSEN), officials called for more accurate data to ensure the transparent and equitable distribution of social assistance. The commission also highlighted the need for clear administrative boundary mapping between Gorontalo Regency and Bone Bolango Regency to prevent service disruptions.
