The water channel dredging in residential area of RW 03 Cideng Urban Village, worked by Gambir Sub-district Water Resource Taskforce since mid September ago, is targeted to complete this week.

Gambir Sub-district Water Resource Implementer Unit Head, M Imawan, said the dredging is aimed to anticipate inundation during rainy season.

"We worked on three roads, but local residents requested another three roads," he said, Wednesday (10/2).

Those six roads are Jalan Batang Hari, Odan, Kampar, Kuantan, Tambesi and Jalan Diah. Four out of six roads' channel have been dredged. The remaining roads are Jalan Tambesi and Jalan Diah RW 03 Cideng Urban Village.

The water channels size is vary from 30-50 cm of width and 40-75 cm of height. There are 12 personnel deployed every day to dredge the channels.

"The dredging progress has reached 70 percent. 30 meter cubic of mud have been transported from four water channels," he added.

Dwi, one of RW 03 Cideng Urban Village residents, appreciated the dredging. Dwi hopes the dredging will make the water runs smoothly without inundating the road.

"Hopefully our area will be free from inundation in rainy season," Dwi hoped.
