PAM Jaya reports slowing land subsidence in Jakarta

The rate of land subsidence in Jakarta is reportedly slowing down as more residents transition from groundwater to piped water services. According to research from the Geological Agency of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM), comparing data from 2018 to 2025, areas previously showing significant subsidence are showing signs of stabilization.

PAM Jaya CEO Arief Nasrudin stated that the increased utilization of piped water is a key factor in reducing the city's dependence on groundwater, which has historically contributed to sinking levels. As of September 2026, PAM Jaya has achieved a service coverage of approximately 83 percent, serving over 1.2 million customers and benefiting roughly 9 million people.

To support this expansion, PAM Jaya is working with local community leaders to increase service reach. The company also offers programs such as free home connections for eligible customer groups to encourage the shift toward piped water infrastructure.
