Water channel repair work on Jalan Pakis RT 05/10, Sukabumi Utara Urban Village, Kebon Jeruk, West Jakarta which carried out since August 16, was targeted to be completed by the end of this October.

The progress has now reached 80 percent

Kebon Jeruk Sub-district Head, Saumun said, the 200-meter long channel was repaired by 15 Kebon Jeruk SDA Unit personnel equipped with mini beko spider unit.

"The progress has now reached 80 percent. We are targeting it to be completed by the end of this month," he asserted, Saturday (10/23).

According to him, this repair was carried out to follow up resident's request because the channel couldn't hold water optimally and was often submerged.

Therefore, his side deployed personnel to widen the channel from 30 centimeters to 80 centimeters and deepen it to 70 centimeters by installing U-Ditch.

"Hopefully, after repairing the channel, it can have bigger capacity thus Jl. Pakis can be free from inundation," he mentioned.
