PDAM, PLN & token electricity
Water utility (PDAM) vs delivery; state grid (PLN) vs generator; prepaid token meters are common in villas.
PDAM is the municipal water utility where connected; many rural villas instead rely on wells, filters, and trucked water top-ups—ask what is actually in service, not the label in the brochure.
PLN is the state electricity provider. Some compounds supplement with generators during outages. Long-term renters should confirm kWh capacity for AC + office gear.
Token (prepaid) meters are widespread: you purchase credit codes. Track baseline spend in the first month to avoid surprises.
