The water channel revitalization on Jalan Pluit Selatan Raya, RT 16/17, Penjaringan Urban Village, Penjaringan District, North Jakarta, is targeted to complete this week.

Penjaringan District's Head of Water Resources Unit, Pendi said the water channel revitalization is run based on the local RW caretaker's request.

"Previous water channel size was too small. This made the water could not flow smoothly then inundated the surrounding areas," he said, Tuesday (10/14).

He explained that the revitalization is run along six meters by using 40 HD u-ditch. The project has been running since October 6, 2025 by deploying one excavator and eight personnel.

"The progress has reached 65 percent. Hopefully it can be completed this week," he explained.

Meanwhile, one of the local residents, Afiana Serawati Messakh (41), appreciated the unit for handling the inundation problem.

"Personnel's work is quick. Now the channel looks neater by using u-ditch," she admitted.
