Clean water supply by Regional Government may be accessible by all stratums. Therefore, the tariff fixing of the clean water must take notice of different people prosperities to reach the public facilities. The regulation of (Permendagri) the Secretary of the Interior No. 23/2006 of Technical Guidance and Procedures of Fixing Clean Water Tariff in Regional Company of Clean Water (PDAM) states that the tariff of PDAM must be fixed by paying attention to Reach and Equity Principles. The equity here means that all societies are imposed with the tariff based on their prosperities to pay and the water volumes that they may consume, also the supply may be accessible by low-income people. Consequently, the fixing must meet with their conditions in Bandar Lampung. The formulation of study cases is that whether customer and consumption groups and the tariff have met their conditions in Bandar Lampung today. Customer and PDAM water consumption groups are analyzed using ratio analysis, ratio of Bandar Lampung Mayor’s decree No. 09/2004 and the actually conditions in field. In addition, the chi-square based association analysis is included: phi and cramer’s v to identify factors with highly strong-relation as determinants of customer groups and water consumption levels. Also, the PDAM tariff is based on reach and equity principles. The result of research perceived is that the customer and water consumption groups based on the regulations in effect still have discrepancy with their conditions in Bandar Lampung. This congruity shows the equity beyond the reach in fixing the PDAM tariff. The water tariff and installation costs haven’t been able to be afforded by the families with the Provincial Minimum Income as well. Due to this incapacity to the tariff for the families with low incomes, this research proposes possible efforts to achieve the equity for PDAM’s costumers in Bandar Lampung. PDAM give three recommendations: rearranging data of PDAM’s customer groups once per 5 year in maximum so the congruity among tariff groups may be identified, improving tariff fixing so the people may afford it and enhancing PDAM facilities in Bandar Lampung.
