Until today, telu waterfall developed by the local government.  The local government has provided a ladder to facilitate visitors to this waterfall. A guard was also prepared to monitor and clean up the area. The guard named Tarso. He said that this waterfall is very busy lately but he regretted visitors irresponsible by not maintaining cleanliness waterfall. A lot of trash found around the waterfall.
