Water Channel Construction on Jalan Turi Reaches 50 Percent"We dredged the channel at the suggestion of the resident. During heavy rain, water from the channel often overflows, flooding access roads," he said.
Marno explained that dredging had begun on August 19, 2026, and was targeted for completion on September 11.
"Four personnel are deployed," he added.
According to him, the dredging process encountered some obstacles because access to the water channel was blocked. This made it difficult for personnel to remove the mud sediment and trash from the channel.
"Hopefully, during the rainy season, the environmental conditions here will be safe from flooding," he continued.
Meanwhile, Head of Rawa Barat, Merinta Hendri Purnomo appreciated the personnel for responding the problem.
"Residents are happy with the dredging of the water channel because this is what they have been waiting for a long time," he admitted.
