private water operator that is partly controlled by Astra International through its
subsidiary Astratel Nusantara. Palyja has been active in Jakarta for about 16 years.
However, last year a law suit was filed demanding that the court will annul the
agreement between city water operator PAM Jaya and Palyja and Aetra Air Jakarta
(Aetra) claiming that public access to affordable clean water has been hindered.
