ABSTRACT

Fresh water is a basic human need, hence, utilization of water needs was not limited. PDAM
Tirta Meulaboh as local government water management company has not been able to fullfill the
needs of fresh water for the community, where the level of service that is generated has not run
properly, neither optimally. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct studies related to the
performance of the water distribution service system, where the study was aimed to see the real
circumstance of the performance of water distribution network and the problem of water loss that
occurs in PDAM Tirta Meulaboh. The method that is applied in this research is survey and
quantitative methods which is supported by the primary and secondary data. Based on the
analysis results obtained that the discharge of average usage which is produced is just in 106.92
liters/person/day, where the shortage of fresh water needs of each customer on average >23
liters/person/day. Analysis of the rate of water loss in 2013 obtained that water loss reached
35,07% with water loss 783.967,00 m 3/year. Based on the results of the NRW program analysis
with ILI method obtained that ILI value of 38,5, which according to the Table of Target Matrix
concluded that leakage or loss of water in service zone of Johan Pahlawan of PDAM Tirta
Meulaboh included in the group D with ILI >16 and the leakage rate of >200
liters/connection/day. From these circumstances, water loss that can not be cashed of 403.106
m3/year or 51,42%. While the results of the analysis of the performance of fresh water
distribution network system, obtained that 58.59% reliability level for the duration of the system
is in the failed state for 4,65 months and the average frequency of occurrence of failure as much
as 2 times, then the system is not yet satisfactory network performance.
