: Penang Water Supply Corporation is urging all residents to use water wisely as the water levels from the state’s primary water sources begin to dwindle.
He said the Air Itam Dam reservoir had dropped by 31.8% to 60.4% as recorded yesterday, from 92.2% on Jan 1. He said that the water level of Sungai Muda river had also dropped significantly as the water level stood at 1.55m yesterday, slightly above the critical level of 1.5m, compared to 2.35m on Jan 1.
“Consumers should use less water daily. We must ensure that Penang has enough water until the rains arrive to refill our dams and raise the water level of Sungai Muda river, our primary raw water source,” he said.
