Significant population growth in urban areas faces limited access to water supply. In 2015, 29% of the global population lacked safely managed drinking water supplies. Ensuring universal access to safe and affordable drinking water for all by 2030 becomes the sixth goal in SDGs 2030. The government’s inability to provide water supply has led to the emergence of informality in urban water supply. Tambaklorok located in the northern part of Semarang has been relying on informal practices to fulfill its water need. From this phenomenon in Tambaklorok, the practice of informality continues to be produced through the particular factors other than the physical availability of a network. This research aims to analyze informality in urban water supply in Tambaklorok, Semarang. To carry out this aim, the method that will be used is a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods. This research found that informality in urban water supply in Tambaklorok caused by lack of access to networked pipe water supply, water utility roles, and practices in non-networked pipe water supply. The research recommended the alternative scheme of water supply for the community in Tambaklorok.
