PT Indonesia Weda Bay Industrial Park (IWIP), in collaboration with PT Weda Bay Nickel (WBN), has commenced the construction of the Lelilef Water Treatment Plant (WTP) to provide access to clean water for communities in Lelilef Sawai and Lelilef Waibulan villages, Central Halmahera, North Maluku.<\/p>\n

The development of the WTP is expected to address the communities\u2019 basic need for safe and reliable clean water, support daily activities, and sustainably improve quality of life. This initiative is aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Goal 6 on clean water and sanitation and Goal 3 on good health and well-being.<\/p>\n

The construction of the Lelilef WTP officially began with the installation of the water distribution pipeline network on Thursday, April 23, 2026. The facility will be equipped with two reservoirs with a combined capacity of 5,200 cubic meters per day, as well as three water treatment units for each reservoir, each with a capacity of 210 cubic meters.<\/p>\n

Iwan Kurniawan, General Manager of Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) at IWIP, emphasized that access to clean water is a fundamental necessity with far-reaching impacts on community life.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe installation of the clean water pipeline marks the beginning of a meaningful improvement in quality of life. While access to clean water is often taken for granted, it has a profound impact on public health, economic opportunities, and education,\u201d said Iwan on April 23, 2026.<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
He added that the success of the program depends not only on infrastructure development but also on active community participation in maintaining and managing the Lelilef WTP.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis program does not belong solely to IWIP, WBN, or the government\u2014it belongs to the community. Therefore, it is important for all stakeholders to safeguard the infrastructure, use water wisely, and ensure fair and equitable access at the village level,\u201d he added.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Meanwhile, the Head of Weda Tengah Subdistrict, Antonius, highlighted that the establishment of the clean water infrastructure brings significant hope to communities that have long faced limited access to clean water.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cClean water is a shared necessity and a matter of public interest. We call on all community members to support the project\u2019s implementation, maintain a conducive environment, and ensure its successful completion,\u201d he stated.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
Faisal Djamil, Chief of Waibulan Village, underscored the importance of sustaining the clean water initiative as a shared community asset.<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cThis clean water infrastructure must be preserved as a long-term asset\u2014not only for today, but also for future generations. Strong collective commitment is needed to ensure that the Lelilef WTP continues to function and deliver sustainable benefits,\u201d he said.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

As part of the groundbreaking ceremony, IWIP, WBN, and representatives from Sawai and Waibulan village administrations signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to establish the framework for collaboration in managing and sustaining the clean water facility. The event was followed by a symbolic laying of the first pipeline, marking the start of the clean water distribution network development. The ceremony was attended by IWIP Director Kevin He, company management, local government officials, and community representatives.<\/p>\n

Through the provision of clean water access, IWIP and WBN aim to generate positive impacts across multiple aspects of community life, including improved public health, enhanced economic productivity, better environmental conditions, and higher education outcomes. The companies remain committed to delivering sustainable programs that provide tangible benefits to communities surrounding their operational areas.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
