Abstract
Based on National Medium Term Development Plan (RPJMN), access to drinking water expected to reach 100%. However, PDAM Delta Tirta Sidoarjo has only been able to serves the drinking water demand by 37%. In concern to this fact, the Sidoarjos Government launched Penyediaan Air Minum Berbasis Masyarakat (PAMSIMAS) in Krembung Sub-district. Therefore, to find out the condition and implementation of PAMSIMAS program, an evaluation through technical and non technical aspects are needed in order to provide solution and recommendations on improving PAMSIMAS performance. The data collection was conducted by doing survey, water quality analysis in laboratory, measuring water pressure using a pressure gauge manometer, and giving out questionnaires. The distribution system is continuous for 24 hours and serves 1,458 house connections. At its farthest point, the water pressure ranges from 4.80 - 7.50 mH2O. The result of the water quality analysis showed that turbidity, color, iron, manganese, and total coliform did not meet the quality standard. About 47% respondents are interested in becoming customer, factors that influenced the interest in becoming customer are water quality and limitations of network. Solution and recommendations that can be applied are build a water treatment plant and developing new piping systems.
