The West Jakarta Water Resources Sub-agency (SDA) is increasing the capacity of water channels on Jalan Gunung Pangrango and Jalan Bumi Cengkareng Permai or precisely around the area of ​​Cengkareng RSUD, RT 11 and 12/RW 10, Cengkareng Timur Urban Village, Cengkareng Sub-district.

Hopefully, it will minimize flooding around Cengkareng RSUD when it rains

Cengkareng Sub-district SDA Executing Unit Head, Jhon Taringan said the additional water channel capacity was carried out by widening the channel to 320 meters long with a U-Ditch measuring 80 centimeters high and wide.

"Previously, the channel was only 40 centimeters high and wide, thus it couldn't accommodate water maximally when it rains," he expressed, Thursday (6/6).

He added the work involved a private party and an excavator. Then the contract for the work is from May 27 to August 27, 2024.

The work itself received appreciation from one of the residents in RT 12/10, Cengkareng Timur Urban Village, Slamet Santoso (61)

"Hopefully, it will minimize flooding around Cengkareng RSUD when it rains," he hoped.
