If it goes well, it will be finished in the next two weeks

West Jakarta Water Resources (SDA) Sub-agency Head, Purwanti stated, repair work on 50-meter channel that flows to Angke River was conducted by installing U-Ditch with width 60 centimeters.

"Current progress has reached 50 percent. If it goes well, it will be finished in the next two weeks," she mentioned, Tuesday (11/23).

She informed that channel repair was carried out to follow up resident's request because it had long been damaged and narrowed, thus it couldn't hold water optimally during heavy rains.

"After repairing it, we hope the channel will be neater and water can flow well to Angke River," she said.
