Effective wastewater management in religious educational institutions plays a critical role in ensuring access to safe sanitation. This study evaluates the performance of wastewater management systems in seven Islamic boarding schools (pondok pesantren) in Palu City using a mixed approach that includes questionnaires administered to students and administrators, field inspections of sanitation facilities, and laboratory analysis of effluent quality. Perception data were processed using a Likert scale and analyzed descriptively with SPSS. Laboratory results indicate that all effluent quality parameters—TSS, BOD, COD, pH, oil and grease, and ammonia—meet the regulatory limits set by the Ministry of Environment and Forestry Regulation No. P.68/2016, demonstrating that the wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) operate effectively. Field observations show that most pesantren fall within the good to very good performance category, although several gaps remain, particularly in facility maintenance, sufficiency of toilet units, and documentation of WWTP operational activities. Questionnaire responses reveal that students generally exhibit good hygiene practices, though consistency varies. The study highlights the need for increasing the number of toilets in line with student-to-facility ratios, expanding or modifying WWTP capacity to accommodate population growth, and strengthening operation and maintenance routines through systematic record-keeping. Continued monitoring support from relevant authorities is essential to ensure the long-term sustainability of wastewater management in religious educational institutionsDownloads
