MEDAN - The Public Works Agency (PU) of Medan City, North Sumatra, has normalized drainage along Jalan Letda Sujono, including in front of the Bandar Selamat toll gate, Medan Tembung District.
Head of the Medan Public Works Department, Topan Ginting, said that the normalization of drainage was carried out to minimize the impact of floods that often occur in front of toll gates.
"The work starts from under the toll road to the Mandala road intersection. Then under the toll road to the trench titi rent. We are trying to divide the direction of water disposal towards the rental point and the Mandala intersection," he said, quoted by Antara, Wednesday, May 25.
In order for the normalization of drainage to run optimally, he continued, in addition to cleaning the open drainage, the officers also dismantled the closed drainage on the road.
"As of Tuesday (24/5), a total of 105 meters have been carried out. The normalization on Jalan Letda Sujono is carried out according to the one-month work target, both on the north and south sides," he explained.
According to him, the normalization of drainage will be carried out on an ongoing basis, so that the problem of flooding that often occurs when it rains heavily can be resolved.
For closed drainage, including the front of the residents' houses, it will be closed again after the work is finished, including the scraping sedimentation material transported by truck.
"After this normalization, we will install the pump to the discharge direction of the rental fee. The pump installation was in accordance with Pak Bobby's directions during yesterday's review," said Topan.
