The Central Jakarta Water Resources (SDA) Sub-agency keeps speeding up repairs to the poor water channel on Jalan Serdang Baru 8, RW 05, Serdang, Kemayoran. Until now, the repair, which began in mid-2021, has reached 60 percent.

According to him, the channel damage was due to age. As a result, it could accommodate water optimally and cause overflowing water when it rains.
"Especially in RW 05, channel repairs are being conducted along one kilometer with a width and height of between 40-80 centimeters," he uttered.
Moreover, it is targeted to be completed by the end of this year considering it must take time due to limited personnel and the large volume of work that reaches one kilometer in length.
"We have to be extra careful because this is done manually," he stated.
