The Penjaringan Sub-district Water Resources Implementation Unit (SDA), North Jakarta is repairing a channel on Jalan Kertajaya Raya,  RT 01/15, Penjaringan Urban Village. So far, the work progress has reached 50 percent.

Penjaringan Sub-district SDA Executing Unit Head, Pendi said, the channel was repaired due to mud, garbage, and small size.

"Repairs were made by widening the channel to increase capacity. Dredging of mud had also been conducted previously," he expressed, Wednesday (9/3).

He explained, previously, the channel had 30 centimeters wide and then it was widened to 40 centimeters with 40 centimeters high.

"This repair that has been ongoing since August 29 involves seven personnel plus their supporting equipment. It is targeted to be completed next week," he explained.

It was expected to prevent flooding in the rainy season.

"Hopefully, residents also take part in protecting the environment by not littering," he hoped.

The repair received appreciation from one of the residents, Maulizah (49). "I hope it can be completed soon," she hoped.
