This The high population of Jakarta causes
the high production of domestic wastewater. Domestic
wastewater consists of black water and grey water from
bathing, washing and toilet facilities from households is
a major contributor to the high level of water pollution
in Jakarta. For this reason, the Government of DKI
Jakarta Province together with the Central
Government are currently developing a domestic
wastewater management system. Factors affecting the
success of the wastewater management development
program are identified such as infrastructure,
institutions and community preparedness and support.
The Government of DKI Jakarta Province has planned
the construction of 14 Domestic Wastewater Treatment
Zones and institutional strengthening of supervisor and
controller, regulator, and operator. Besides that, it is
necessary to build community preparedness in
accepting the concept of polluter pays principle, which
requires pollutants to bear the costs of preventing and
controlling pollution caused, including the willingness to
pay for domestic wastewater services. The survey
results show that people who know and are very aware
of domestic wastewater treatment plants that only reach
11%, only those who are willing to pay for domestic
wastewater services are 56% and the community's
willingness to pay is in the range of Rp.44,049.53 to
Rp.57,200.47. This survey shows that domestic
wastewater management is not well understood by the
community. Therefore, strategies to prepare the
community are imperative to the success of wastewater
management.
