MASYARAKAT KAMPUNG SELIL AKHIRNYA BISA MENGAKSES SUMUR AIR BERSIH

Highlights / By

Kebahagiaan nampak dari wajah masyarakat yang tinggal di kampung selil, Distrik Ulilin Kabupaten Merauke, Papua. Berdasarkan hasil kegiatan survey sosial yang dilakukan oleh perusahaan yang bekerjasama dengan pihak independent diketahui bahwa untuk mencukupi kebutuhan air selama ini masyarakat kampung Selil harus menempuh jarak ± 1 kilo ke sumur alam dengan menggunakan ember yang dipikul. Hal tersebut karena tiap rumah belum memiliki sumur air untuk mencukupi sumber air bersih (mandi, cuci, memasak hingga minum). Ditambah lagi karena bersumber dari Alam, ketersediaan air tidak dapat dipastikan terlebih lagi sumur alam akan kering saat musim kemarau.

Per November 2020 ini, akhirnya 128 jiwa penduduk yang tinggal di kampung Selil dapat menikmati air bersih yang mengalir langsung ke keran rumahnya masing-masing. Program Pembangunan  fasilitas Sumur Bor beserta instalasinya diinisiasi oleh PT.Bio Inti Agrindo sebagai wujud nyata kepedulian perusahaan pada masyarakat sekitar yang seiring sejalan dengan prinsip corporate citizenship  yang dianut POSCO International sebagai induk perusahaan PT.Bio Inti Agrindo.

Survey awal kegiatan ini dilakukan oleh Perusahaan pada Juli 2020 lalu, dilanjutkan berdiskusi dengan masyarakat dalam mengembangkan rencana pembangunan fasilitas sumber air. Disepakati bahwa dalam pengerjaan proyek ini akan menggunakan tenaga kerja (Local) dari masyarakat kampung selill sendiri, pengangkutan material dari kota menuju kampung menggunakan alat transportasi sungai (Speed Boat) milik masyarakat yang disewa oleh Perusahaan. Menara air yang dibangun berdaya tamping 4.400 liter dengan jaringan distribusi yang mengalir ke 47 rumah masyarakat di kampung Selil. Dengan melibatkan masyarakat sebagai tenaga kerja diharapkan membangkitkan kesadaran masyarakat untuk menjaga fasilitas yang telah dibangun ini.

Kedepannya program pengembangan kampung akan terus diwujudkan, diantaranya pemberian beasiswa yang adil dan transparan bagi anak-anak berprestasi kurang mampu dan juga peningkatan sarana Kesehatan Kampung.
