Thousand Islands Satpol PP Personnel Ready to Face Rainy Season"To handle it, we send two pumps and ten personnel to each location," he expressed, Monday (11/8).
He explained, it occurred as the road surface was lower than the water channel, so the water overflowed.
"It has been occurred since yesterday. Besides suction using a floating pump, personnel also closed the gutter to stop the overflowing river onto the road. Meanwhile, near the sluice gate, the water was sucked into the reservoir and is currently receding," he stated.
