TPS 3R South Meruya Rejects Mixed Waste, Residents Must Sort

Flooding for Days is a Concern

Apart from waste, Iin places flood and inundation mitigation and fire prevention as priorities for the West Jakarta City Government.

He said that a number of areas had experienced flooding since early 2025. In some locations, the inundation took days to recede.

"If you pass for a while it's safe, but it takes a long time, up to days. Kalideres is one of the locations where there are several points, although not as extreme as in Cengkareng," he said.

The RW 02 and RW 06 settlements in Kamal Village are one of the areas receiving attention. According to Iin, the conditions in this area are related to the intersection of streams from other areas and the construction of toll roads which are higher than the surrounding areas.

Iin and related staff have checked the location to find a solution. Handling carried out includes dredging with the Water Resources (SDA) Sub-Department.

"Hopefully, we will dredge it every week, maybe even more than 1-2-3 times a week, which we do together with the SDA Department. The community's proposal is in the form of a reservoir, then an embung, which is currently being processed. We have communicated with the Parks and City Forest Service," he explained.
