The Central Jakarta Water Resources (SDA) Sub-agency is repairing the channels in the residential area on Jalan Krekot Bunder VIII, RT 06/06, Pasar Baru Urban Village, Sawah Besar.
Many parts are damaged, so they need to be repaired immediately
Sawah Besar Sub-district SDA Executing Unit Head, Yusuf Sumardani said the channel repair is a follow-up to residents' proposals through the regional development planning forums (Musrenbang) 2024.
The channel, which is 160 meters long on both sides of the road, is 40 centimeters wide and about 75 centimeters high, where the sheet pile is badly damaged and has collapsed. No wonder, it would cause flooding if it was not repaired.
