The water channel normalization, he added, is responding resident's request via Musrenbang 2026, as well as quick response from local RT caretaker.
"It is targeted to complete next week," he added.
Meanwhile, Yuli (35), one of local residents, appreciated the quick response of the Central Jakarta Water Resources Sub-agency in normalizing the water channel.
