Due to trash and shallowing, the water channel along Jalan Enim, RW 02, Sungai Bambu Urban Village, Tanjung Priok, North Jakarta, cleaned on Thursday (10/8).
Such condition makes the area always get flooded up to 50 cm during rainy season. That's why we're cleaning the channel as flood anticipation
Sungai Bambu Urban Village Head, Sumarno stated the channel cleaned is along 400 m and width 50 cm. It crosses RT 4 until RT 09/02.
"Such condition makes the area always get flooded up to 50 cm during rainy season. That's why we're cleaning the channel as flood anticipation," he explained.
Besides cleaning the channel, 20 Infrastructure and Public Facilities Handling (PPSU) deployed also demolished the concrete covering the channel to ease them dredging it.
As a result, as many as 200 sacks of sediment were successfully dredged.
