Evaluation of Clean Water Management at Tebuireng Islamic Boarding School I

This study evaluates the clean water management at Tebuireng Islamic Boarding School I, one of the largest boarding schools in East Java, Indonesia. The boarding school plays a significant social role and contributes to environmental improvements, despite facing issues such as clean water shortages that can hinder activities. The research methods involved field observations, laboratory tests of clean water quality, and interviews with staff and students of the boarding school using questionnaires. These questionnaires aimed to gather data on environmental awareness related to clean water management. The evaluation of clean water facilities and infrastructure was based on three aspects: technical, financial, and community participation. The study results showed that the clean water infrastructure in some parts of the boarding school did not fulfilled the standards set by the Ministry of Public Works Regulation (PERMEN PU) Number 60 of 1992, particularly concerning water storage for a minimum of 6 hours. On the other hand, the clean water quality test results showed that some parameters, such as TDS and Total Coliform, exceeded the quality standards set by the Ministry of Health Regulation (PERMENKES) Number 2 of 2023. The TDS and Total Coliform parameter values exceeding the quality standards were 477 mg/L and 12 MPN/100 mL, respectively. The cost incurred by the foundation for maintaining clean water facilities and infrastructure for one year reached IDR 126.183.900. The boarding school community's attitude towards environmental awareness in clean water management was rated well, with a score of 87, 86, indicating a high level of awareness.
