The water channel normalization on Jalan Petamburan III RW 04, Petamburan, Tanah Abang, run by Central Jakarta Water Resources Sub-agency, is targeted to complete this month.

Tanah Abang Water Resource Unit Head, Eli Menawan Sari said there are two points where the channel is normalized with a total length of 190 meters. The work has been running since May 19 by involving nine personnel.

Eli explained the first location is at Gang Paksi along 159 meters. This work has been completed in June.

"Now we are normalizing channel on Jalan Petamburan 3 heading Jalan KS Tubun along 40 meters," he said, Friday (7/11).

He added that the normalization is run based on residents request at Musrenbang 2025.

Agung (40), local resident, appreciated the normalization run by the personnel.

"Hopefully the normalization will eliminate the inundation here," he hoped.
