"Waterway development has been ongoing since last night. Even water can already be flowed to the waterway," said Budy Hartati, Head of Kelapa Dua Wetan Urban Village, Tuesday (8/30).
Separately, East Jakarta Water Management Sub-dept Head, Ahmad Yazied Bustomi added, the waterway was deliberately made in diameter of 1 meter thus water from Rawa Babon Reservoir not overflow into the connecting channel. Its development is targeted to be complete in three days.
