Channel Dredging on Jalan Pulo Gayung to Complete Next Week

Water channel dredging on Jalan Pulo Gayung, RT 01/05, Petukangan Selatan Urban Village, Pesanggrahan District, South Jakarta, is targeted for completion next week. This effort is being run as a preventative measure to prevent flooding during the rainy season.

Along a 125-meter stretch

Pesanggrahan District's Water Resource Field Coordinator, Halim Candra, said that the channel dredging is carried out after his team received a direct proposal from residents who saw that the condition was already filled with mud sediment and garbage.

"The channel is dredged along a 125-meter stretch with a mud sediment depth of approximately 40 centimeters. We deploy five Blue Troop personnel," he said, Friday (11/6).

Halim explained that dredging work had been underway since October 2026. Every day, personnel are able to remove around 40-50 sacks of mud sediment and waste from the channel.

"We're targeting completion next week. Hopefully, the drainage system will function optimally to prevent flooding," he hoped.

Meanwhile, a local resident, Farhan, appreciated the performance of the Water Resources (SDA) Sub-agency which had followed up on residents' complaints regarding the condition of the water channels which previously looked dirty.

"Hopefully, after dredging, the channel will be tidier and able to drain water smoothly, preventing flooding during the rainy season," he hoped.
