Abstract

This paper will examine the politics of clean water management, an overview of the scarcity of clean water quality in Kedungringin Village, Sukawangi District, Bekasi Regency. The reason this research was conducted was because there was a problem in Kedungringin Village, namely the lack of access to clean water both in quality and quantity. Various efforts have been made by the people of Kampung Kedungringin, such as constructing boreholes with the help of benefactors. However, this is not enough to meet the needs of clean water for all residents. The role of PDAM Tirta Bhasasi in this case has not been able to reach the Kedungringin Village area because the Clean Water Pipeline is far from the location of Kedungringin Village. With these problems, this research will examine how the efforts made by PDAM Tirta Bhagasasi and the Sukaringin Village Government in meeting access to clean water needs in Kedungringin Village. The research method used in this research is a descriptive qualitative research method with a case study approach. The results of this study indicate that the efforts made by PDAM Tirta Bhagasasi in meeting the need for clean water for the people of Kampung Kedungringin have not been realized. This is because PDAM Tirta Bhagasasi is in the construction of a new clean water pipeline to the housing/cluster area in Sukaringin Village. Clean water has not been able to flow to Kedungringin Village because PDAM Tirta Bhagasasi prioritizes cluster housing areas in collaboration with developers. This means that groups of people who have money will be prioritized over groups of people who do not have money.
