As the priority, added Djarot, his side will precede the improvement at the sluice gate with 10 meters in wide. Meanwhile, the improvement of the both side embankment will use sheet pile and wait the APBD to be passed.

"To fix the sluice gate, we will communicate with the enterprises around the location, while the sheet pile alongside the embankment will take budget from APBD," he explained.

However, Djarot admitted could not estimate the budget for the improvement. To solve that, he will ask the Management Water of Public Work Department to calculate and make the budget of the improvement.
