Eight Water Resources (SDA) Taskforces are cleaning up the 258-meter length water channel on Jalan Kamper and Jalan Puspa, Utan Kayu Selatan, Matraman, East Jakarta.

Matraman Sub-district SDA Taskforce Coordinator Agus said it was done to follow up on residents' proposals.

"It is carried out to anticipate flooding in the upcoming rainy season," he expressed, Wednesday (9/16).

He explained that it had been ongoing since ten days ago. After it was done, a U-Ditch concrete in the size of 60x60x120 centimeters would be attached in the channel.

"We're targeting to finish it next month," he closed.
