PT Paramitra Internusa Pratama, a subsidiary of oil palm plantation company Sinar Mas Group, has constructed a clean water infrastructure project in West Kalimantan's Kapuas Hulu area, a spokesman for the administration says.

"The private company has assisted Kapuas Hulu administration, which has a limited budget," said AM Nasir, a spokesman for Kapuas Hulu administration, as quoted by Antara on Tuesday.

Antara reported that before the plantations company built the facility, most people in Sentabai hamlet had to walk around 3 kilometers to get fresh water from ground wells.

Meanwhile, West Kalimantan Sinar Mas group chief Susanto expressed his company's seriousness about developing oil palm plantations to improve the Kapuas Hulu economy, aside from seeking profit.

Previously, Susanto thanked the administration and local community, because the company had developed up to 10 thousand hectares of plantations in the area with their help.
