The pipe in the size of 8 inches with 80 meters length is installed from the end of the tunnel to a control tub on the sidewalk. When heavy rain and puddles occur, it will be used for discharging water by pumping.
In future, he added, there must be a waterway from micro channel on the side of Jalan MT Haryono towards connecting channel under the sidewalk. It aims to smoothen water flow when it rains.
