2.1 Water Resource
Jambi Selatan District is the area with high potential ground water. Ground water
quality is good and comply with drinking water requirement. For the drinking water, the
majority of households rely on PDAM Tirta Mayang as the source of their drinking water.
Raw water sources of drinking water are from Batanghari River. Number of consumer and
water production of PDAM Tirta Mayang tend to increase every year, see in Table 3 below :

From Table 3 above, it can be concluded that number of consumer of PDAM Tirta
Mayang in 2014 increased by from 2013, and the water production increased by 14,08%.

2.3 Sanitation Condition

In Jambi City, 93,55% of households have their own sanitary facility, 5,28% of
households have sanitary facility that are used together with other people, 1,12% use public
sanitary facility and 0,06% have no sanitary facility.
Pasar Jambi District is a business center area in Jambi City. There are shopping
activites, restaurant, traditional market and modern market. The wastewater management
system for this commercial area is individualized with septic tank or latrine. Grey water
discharged into drainage channels. For residential areas, wastewater treatment is
individualized using septic tank and infiltration while grey water directly discharged into
drainage channels. For slum area, the structure houses are stagy. Waste water treatment
for this area, especially black water, is using latrine without infiltration. Grey water
discharged in the surrounding area.
Sludge Treatment Plant (STP) for septic tanks sludge is located in Talang Bakung, 14
km from the city center. The sludge suction equipment owned 2 units. STP is managed by
Jambi Sanitation and Cemetery Office, operating costs derived from suction retribution and
government budget in accordance with Government Regulation No. 7 of 2003.
Contamination of shallow well by un-standard septic tank condition can be characterized by
the presence of chemicals such as nitrites and nitrates and the presence of E.coli bacteria.
The results of water quality monitoring wells at various places by Jambi City Environmental

Office in 2010, can be concluded that the well has not indicated any contamination of septic
tank.
3. Previous Studies Related Jambi Sewerage Project
In accordance with the IEE Jambi Sewerage Project Report 2013, Jambis proposed
sewerage system under MSMIP shall cover the sub-districts of Jambi Timur and Pasar
Jambi, part of the priority areas of Zone 1 in Jambis Wastewater Infrastructure Master Plan.
The proposed sewerage system will serve 85.000 people through 17.600 domestic service
connections by 2018. The proposed sewerage network will have 124,2 km of sewer
pipelines with diameters ranging from 100 mm to 1000 mm. ADB will only fund under
MSMIP those sewer pipelines with diameters 300 mm and above. Hence, the 115,6 km of
tertiary sewer network (with pipe diameters of less than 300 mm) will not be funded under
MSMIP. Sewer pipelines with diameters 300 mm and above will have 60 manholes, while
those below 300 mm will have 52 manholes. The system also includes a sewage pumping
station (flow capacity of 100 l/s).
The proposed WWTP site is within the city in a generally urban area at Kasang, East
Jambi Sub-district near the Kasang village and Kasang Jaya village. This proposed 6 ha
WWTP site is presently an agricultural area. The discharge point of the proposed WWTP
site is Selincah Creek. This stream has a flowrate of 10 m 3/s. The proposed WWTP shall be
a Facultative Aerated Pond (FAP) system in series using covered anaerobic pond,
facultative-aerobic ponds, and maturation ponds. Pretreatment system includes a screen
chamber and grit chamber. The FAP system is a biological waste treatment system using
stabilization ponds with mechanical aerators to put more oxygen (air) into the wastewater.
With higher oxygen transfer the ponds can have smaller hydraulic retention time resulting to
smaller requirement for volumes and land area. Top of ponds have aerobic conditions, while
the bottom is anaerobic. Both aerobic and anaerobic processes occur within the pond. The
top layer of the pond receives oxygen from aerators, while the lower layer is deprived of
oxygen and becomes anoxic or anaerobic. Settleable solids accumulate and digested at the
bottom of the pond. Aerobic and anaerobic organisms work together to achieve good BOD
reductions.
The proposed WWTP will be designed to achieve effluent quality with a maximum BOD
of 50 mg/l and total suspended solids (TSS) of 100 mg/l. This BOD value is more stringent
than the national effluent regulations that (Environment Minister Decree No.112 of 2003 on
Domestic Wastewater Quality) allows a discharge quality with a maximum BOD of 100 mg/l.
