Pathmanathan .
He said Penang urgently needs a second major water resource to meet its water needs as it has become highly dependent on Sungai Muda as its one and only raw water resource for the last 51 years.He said the Sungai Muda water scheme was the last major water supply project implemented for Penang by the federal government that was launched by the second prime minister, the late Tun Abdul Razak Hussein in 1973.
He said it will also be more cost effective to buy treated river water from Sungai Perak than undertaking projects to desalinate sea water or recycle wastewater in Penang. “It is cheaper and more rational for Penang to buy water from Perak, so that PBAPP may continue to bill reasonable water rates in the future,” he added.
