Mr. Rama Boedi appreciated what was done by Perumda Tugu Tirta who held this workshop from home and wanted to share knowledge with other PAMs throughout Indonesia, where until now there are still many PDAMs outside Java that have not been able to access training that is often done on the island of Java, with the existence of technology like now is very doable so in the future it should be able to make a longer distance workshop like this by raising other SPAM themes.
The participants were also very enthusiastic about participating, besides being free, they could also be followed while attending the meeting room with other employees. As expressed by participants from PDAM Kota Bandung Mr. Agung that training like this must continue to be held so that PDAMs that have innovations in SPAM can immediately pass on to other PDAMs, simply by communicating remotely like this the knowledge can also be useful.
Therefore, with enthusiasm, Ms. Ari Mukti promised to hold another workshop shortly from this home with another theme that could provide benefits to all Indonesian PDAM
