Most firms ignore waste treatment
Only 26 percent of a total of 2,173 medium and large-scale enterprises in the city regularly submit samples of their liquid waste for assessment, the Jakarta Environmental Management Agency has said.
The remaining 1,602 enterprises failed to deliver reports of the liquid waste they produced as set out in gubernatorial decree No. 299/1996.The decree requires all enterprises producing liquid waste to treat the waste before disposing of it into rivers. It also requires them to send samples of the treated waste to the agency every three months.

The above figures do not include registered small-scale enterprises such as community markets, small workshops and small offices which amount up to at least, 15,845 concerns.
four months, six months, or even only once a year. No wonder the quality of our river water is getting worse.
High levels of pollution in the city's 13 rivers are suspected of being behind the red tide phenomenon, which killed thousands of fish in Jakarta Bay in May.
The real issue here is whether the agency has the political will because the administration has ignored the existing Law No. 23/1997 on the environment. The law authorizes all environment management agencies to control the liquid waste treatment of any enterprises. The law gave the administration the power to censure transgressing companies and the city could close companies down if they continue to ignore existing regulations.
The law says companies found to be polluting the environment with liquid waste are given six months to improve their treatment facilities. If they fail to meet the deadline, the agency has the power to close the waste treatment facility, the area of production causing the waste, or the entire production process.
