Yusuf added that his party had to dismantle the channel because it had become so narrow that it could not optimally accommodate the water flow.
Agung (43), one of the residents, admitted the water in the channels has often overflowed when it rains heavily and for a long time.
"Hopefully, after normalization, the water flow will run smoothly and there will be no more puddles," he hoped.
