Central Jakarta Water Resources (SDA) Sub-dept. normalizes water channel on Jalan Pintu Air Raya, Pasar Baru Urban Village, Sawah Besar. Water flow is hampered by debris from damaged retaining wall and caused inundation on Jalan Pintu Air IV.

When we checked it, channel on Jalan Pintu Air Raya has been disconnected

"Jalan Pintu Air IV is inundated. When we checked it, channel on Jalan Pintu Air Raya has been disconnected," said Boris Karlop Lumbangaol, Central Jakarta SDA Sub-dept.'s Maintenance Section Head, Monday (1/22).

According to him, his personnel immediately dismantled the driveway and dredged the channel. This channel's retaining wall is repaired and elevated from 120 cm high into 190 cm to prevent land slide.

It has 600 meters long and 1 meter wide. "Currently, 15 meters are done. We will do it gradually since most of channel's surfaces are covered by driveway," he mentioned.
