Abstract

The Drinking Water Grant Program is implemented by optimizing unused production capacity. This approach requires local governments to carry out the development and provision of drinking water services. This program is related to research conducted in Patumbak Kampung Village, Patumbak District, Deli Serdang Regency. The focus of this study is to analyze the program implementation process and to identify the inhibiting and success factors o f the drinking water grant program. To address the research objectives, this study employs a qualitative approach using interview and observation techniques. The analysis is reinforced by Charles Oscar Jones' implementation theory, which is reviewed through three aspects: organization, interpretation, and application. The results of the study indicate that, in general, the drinking water grant program has been implemented successfully, achieving 38 household connection points (SR) in accordance with the target set by Perumda Tirtanadi. The program has also had a significant impact on improving access to safe drinking water for low-income communities. In addition, the drinking water grant program contributes to a reduction in the risk of waterborne diseases, household cost savings, and an overall improvement in the quality of life of the community.
