The Kebayoran Baru Sub-district Water Resources (SDA) Executing Unit is conducting drainage normalization on Jalan Gandaria Tengah VI, Kramat Pela Urban Village, Kebayoran Baru, South Jakarta.

Kebayoran SDA Executing Unit Head, Sutopo, the normalization project follows up on requests made by local residents to the South Jakarta SDA Sub-agency.

"This input was submitted during the last year's Development Planning Forum (Musrenbang). We have already surveyed the site and prepared the materials," he noted, Wednesday (4/29).

According to him, the work started yesterday and utilizes 40-centimeter U-shaped concrete drains (U-ditches) spanning a total of 75 meters.

The project involves five workers and is expected to be finished in two weeks.

"We hope for good weather so the project stays on track. This revitalization aims to benefit the local environment, particularly by addressing localized flooding when it rains," he noted.

The project received appreciation from one of the residents, Billy (46).

"We've been asking for this since last year, and finally, this broken drain is being fixed. We are very thankful," he remarked.
