Penang Water Supply Corporation to Install New Pipelines to Strengthen Water Supply by 2030The Penang Water Supply Corporation (PBAPP) will install two 1.8-metre diameter main pipelines to channel more treated water from the Sungai Dua Water Treatment Plant to the Barat Daya district on the island as part of efforts to strengthen water supply by 2030. The project is a key component of Phase 3 of the Water Contingency Plan 2030 (WCP 2030), with an estimated total cost of about RM416 million. The first pipeline will connect the Sungai Dua WTP to the connection point of the Penang Third Undersea Twin Pipeline Project in Butterworth, involving a route of about 13 kilometres on the mainland. The second 1.8m diameter pipeline will connect the 3rd PTSP landing point in the Macallum area to the Bukit Dumbar Reservoir and Pump House Complex over a distance of about 3.9 kilometres on the island at a cost of RM56 million. The installation work of the new Macallum - Bukit Dumbar pipeline in Solok Tengku is expected to be completed by December 2027. The project will be implemented in two phases due to land acquisition constraints, with the second phase involving about one kilometre crossing Sungai Pinang. With the completion of the dedicated pipelines, the capacity can be increased to around 600 million litres per day. The overall RM2.1 billion WCP 2030 is being implemented to optimise raw water resources, increase water treatment capacity and reduce dependency on the Sungai Dua WTP.
