Regular Supplies Still Needed

According to Didi, the dry season causes some residents to have difficulty getting water. Therefore, it is recommended that assistance continue periodically taking into account needs in the field.

"The recommendation is that distribution be carried out every four days with a capacity of 5,000 liters, according to the conditions of residents' needs in the field," he said.

The delivery to Sumberjeruk is the 39th distribution in a series of treatments reported by BPBD Jember. With this addition, the total reported clean water assistance until 22 October 2026 reached 195,000 liters.

This handling is carried out within the framework of the emergency alert status for drought and forest and land fires in Jember Regency in 2026. For Sumberjeruk residents, continuity of supply is a necessity as long as daily water sources are not yet sufficient.
