- Water Supply
Lippo Karawaci commits to supplying quality and healthy drinking water from the tap facility for its township residents. To support this commitment, Lippo Karawaci has built Water Treatment Plants (WTP) in most of its urban townships to ensure that clean water is available for its residents, complying with quality water standards required by the Ministry of Public Health. To date, WTP in the Lippo Village township produces 315,000 m3 capacity of potable water per month while Lippo Cikarang produces another 480,000 m3 per month.
- Flood Centre and Retention Pools
Lippo Karawaci is conscious of the serious flooding that greatly affects society. The Company therefore has implemented a flood prevention initiative for all developments.
The Company's first implementation of its flood retention system was in the Lippo Village golf course, allowing rainwater to be naturally absorbed into the ground water system. The system is designed specifically to be environmentally friendly. At Kemang Village, Lippo Karawaci built a wet detention basin/pond that can hold up to 90,000 m3 to manage rainwater runoff to prevent flooding in neighboring areas. 1 million tons of rainwater can runoff within 3 hours without causing any disruptive flooding.
- Micro Climate Improvements
Lippo Karawaci has implemented an eco-friendly concept throughout its developments to anticipate future impact of climate change. Among others, an adopt-a-tree initiative has been conducted, aiming to plant 2,000 trees per year. As of end of 2010, Lippo Karawaci planted over 56,000 trees in its urban townships and residential areas, lowering the township temperature and reducing pollution.
- Sewage Treatment
Lippo Karawaci ensures effective management of domestic wastewater produced by residential and commercial zones, with good and proper sewage treatment. With concerns of environmental safety, sewage that is generated from underground pipes is treated in the Sewage Treatment Plant (STP). The wastewater sewage treatment is then managed to be 100% recyclable effluent for landscape irrigation.
Lippo Karawaci has installed gas pipelines in Kemang Village and Lippo Cikarang. This initiative was carried out in line with the government efforts to reduce electricity use, while concurrently reducing both household and industry dependency on subsidized electricity supplied by the State-Owned Electric Company (PLN).
