Some 20 joint personnel of PPSU and Water Resources (SDA) Task Force are deployed to handle puddles on Jalan Kelapa Dua Wetan, Ciracas, East Jakarta, on Tuesday (10/27).
The same action also conducted on Jalan PKP, Ciracas.
Heavy Rain, Four RTs and Seven Roads in Jakarta InundatedKelapa Dua Wetan Urban Village Head Adamsyah said those roads were inundated as high as 20-25 cm, as the Jodo River connecting channel could not accommodate the water maximally.
"But, at 6 PM, the condition starts to get better," he said, Tuesday (10/27).
He explained they were often inundated as some of the drains had started to become clogged with mud and waste. It was also caused by the conditions of the Baboon Swamp Reservoir. If the reservoir conditions are high, the water in the drains was also high.
"But, when the rain subsides, the puddles recede quickly," he stated.
