The Surakarta administration is continuing the construction of blocks holding hundreds of apartments along the Pepe River, not only to restore this tributary of the Bengawan Solo River, but to clear its banks of illegal buildings. There are at least 300 illegal buildings on the banks of the Pepe River that are not suitable for human habitation. Every day the houses pollute the river with domestic waste. This year’s construction is the second phase of a row house development project in Surakarta. The city administration completed 44 row houses worth Rp 6.6 billion ( US$486,000 ) in 2015. The apartments will be used to accommodate people previously living in the illegal houses.The occupants of the buildings will be required to pay rent. They will get only a right-to-use certificate, not a building ownership permit, since they all received money as compensation for their demolished houses and the building demolition costs.“The apartment block construction program has been going on since 2014. It aims to build around 300 row houses within five years. It is part of the Pepe River management program,” said Surakarta Public Works Agency head Endah Sitaresmi on Wednesday. Endah said the city administration aimed to manage the Pepe River from te upstream to the downstream areas. The management would be conducted in stages. The first stage of the river bank management project would cover the Keprabon area in the Banjarsari district. The second stage would be conducted in the Ketelan area around the Pura Mangkunegaran Palace compound.The Pepe River flows from north to southeast for 7.8 kilometers starting from the Tirtonadi bus terminal through to Demangan. This tributary of the Bengawan Solo River is flanked by15 subdistricts in three districts, namely Banjarsari, Jebres and Pasar Kliwon.
