ABSTRACT
The issues with drinking water services in Tanah Bumbu Regency include the fact that service levels have not yet reached 100% adequacy and 15% safety as outlined in the RPJMN 2024, and the level of water loss remains high. The research aims to evaluate the achievement of drinking water services in Tanah Bumbu Regency, South Kalimantan Province. The study was conducted in Tanah Bumbu Regency, South Kalimantan Province. Sampling for community respondents utilized purposive sampling methods. Sampling for PTAM respondents employed purposive sampling methods, with 11 employees selected from the organizational structure of the office (head of general affairs and personnel; head of technical affairs; and head of each IKK unit). The evaluation results regarding the management of drinking water services in Tanah Bumbu Regency in terms of the 4K aspects (Quality, Quantity, Continuity, and Affordability) indicate that the quality aspect is still suboptimal due to limited funding for health department inspections, resulting in limited water sample collection at household connections. Regarding Quantity, the provision of drinking water services is prioritized in urban areas, while in rural areas, the operator (PTAM Tanah Bumbu) has not been able to meet the needs of the entire population of Tanah Bumbu Regency, both urban and rural, due to production capacity constraints.
