Amid the dry season, people living in some districts in the northern part of Jakarta have started to complain about the water supply from water operators in the city. Ibu Hatma, who lives in Penjaringan, complained how she often opened the water faucet at her house and nothing came out of it. The faucet could only produce a slight hiss of air, occasionally coughing up a few spurts of murky water.

"The water has been like this for the past three months," she said on Thursday. "We have to wait until late at night before any water comes out of the faucets."

And even if the water did come out, Hatma said, it was foamy and had a strange smell, making it unusable.
