GEORGE TOWN, July 26 — About 7,400 consumers on the Penang island will experience water supply issues due to measures to mitigate the state’s chronic low rainfall, the Penang Water Supply Corporation warned today.
“As a result, treated water output from the Waterfall Water Treatment Plan has dropped by about 42.9 per cent from 14 million litres per day to eight MLD,” he said in a statement issued today. “Under normal circumstances, PBAPP will make up for this shortfall by diverting water from other WTPs to the affected areas,” he said.
Pathmanathan said PBAPP is defending the reserves of the Air Itam Dam under its Air Itam Dam Action Plan 2024 and carefully managing water supply for Teluk Bahang, Batu Ferringhi, Tanjung Bungah and Tanjung Tokong. Among the actions to be taken include optimising water production at the Batu Ferringhi WTP and Guillemard WTP without overly compromising the effective capacity of the Teluk Bahang Dam.
“Water tankers and static water tanks will be deployed to the affected areas to provide water during high demand periods,” he said.
