Nearly two weeks after the Situ Gintung dam burst – killing nearly 100 residents - Cireundeu subdistrict head Chairul Sadudin revealed Sunday he had notified the flood management office near the lake of the damage to the Situ Gintung spillways in February 2007.
“We wrote a statement to the office. Lake water was overflowing the spillways every time it rained heavily, which became a concern for local residents,” Chairul said, as quoted by

In the report, he added, the subdistrict administration also called on the relevant agencies to clean up the area around the lake and fortify the lake walls.
