Flash floods that hit South Solok Regency, West Sumatra Province, Indonesia in December 2019 have damaged a number of drinking water facilities owned by the Regional Water Supply Company (PDAM).
As a result, thousands of residents spread across three sub-districts are threatened with a clean water crisis.
Footage, recorded on December 15, shows PDAM officials repairing the broken water channel at the Pangkua River bridge.
According to the Director of Solok Selatan PDAM, in addition to this location, there are five channel points damaged due to flooding, causing the disruption of a clean water supply to 6400 residents.
Losses due to this damage are estimated at three billion rupiah (just under 170,000 GBP).
At present, this PDAM channel has been successfully repaired, while Sungai Pangkua Bridge has been temporarily replaced.
