The Tanah Abang District Water Resource Taskforce personnel, Central Jakarta,  normalize water channel in Karet and Bendungan Hilir Urban Villages.

Tanah Abang District Water Resource Implementer Unit Head, Eli Menawan Sari said the normalized water channels are on Jalan Karet Pasar Baru Barat 2 RT 10/RW 16 Karet Urban Village along 157 meters and on Jalan Danau Singkarak RT 11/RW 03, Bendungan Hilir along 127 meters.

There are nine personnel deployed on Jalan Karet Pasar Baru Barat 2, and 10 personnel on Jalan Danau Singkarak.

"The work started in April and is targeted to complete next June," she said, Monday (5/12).

Eli explained the normalization is run by installing new U ditch in size of 60 x 60 meter.

"The existing water channels are too narrow and surely unable to hold water during heavy rain," she explained.
