JAKARTA - The DKI Provincial Government through the DKI Jakarta Water Resources Service (SDA) has finally replaced the vertical drainage cover on Jalan Intan, Cilandak, South Jakarta. This installation was carried out after a complaint was made by the comic Soleh Solihun through his Twitter account.

Initially, Soleh Solihun complained about the vertical drainage excavation carried out by the Natural Resources Service on Jalan Intan on Friday, November 26, 2021.

Through his Twitter account @solehsolihun, he said that the vertical drainage work on Jalan Intan was only carried out a month ago. Turns out, the cover was broken.

Soleh Solihun views that the drainage work on Jalan Intan is a danger to passing motorists.

"Dear @DinasSDAJakarta, this is a vertical drainage dig on Jalan Diamond, it's not even a month old, it's already destroyed and even has holes. It's a danger to motorists," Soleh tweeted.

Until finally, the DKI SDA Office replaced the vertical drainage cover that Soleh Solihun complained about. The head of the DKI SDA Agency said the cover had been replaced with a material that is more resistant to heavy loads such as motorized vehicles.

Yusmada also explained that the installation of damaged vertical drainage covers is the responsibility of vendors or companies that are partners with the DKI Provincial Government in the work.

"Currently, the vertical drainage work is still under construction, which is the responsibility of the vendor/implementing partner concerned. The vertical drainage cover on Jalan Intan which was damaged is a temporary closure," said Yusmada on Sunday, November 28.

"Currently, the vendor concerned is repairing and replacing heavy duty covers to ensure traffic safety," he added.

Furthermore, Yusmada claims that his party is trying to optimize the construction of vertical drainage so that it can accommodate, store and increase groundwater reserves.

As well as, reducing rainwater runoff into sewers and other water bodies. Thus, preventing inundation and flooding as well as beneficial in the dry season.
