The Penang Water Supply Corporation is appealing to the 593,255 registered domestic water users in the state to reduce water consumption by 10 per cent until the rainy season in September to avoid a water crisis.
“PBAPP data shows that a 10 per cent reduction in domestic consumption in Penang in 2024 will translate into water savings of 50 million LPD. Meanwhile, Pathmanathan said the low rainfall since last January had caused a decrease in the effective capacity of the two main dams besides affecting the production of treated water which in turn had an impact on water supply operations in Penang.
“The lack of rainfall has also caused the water level reading to be below 2.0 metres at the Lahar Tiang in Penang for 16 days in a row since July 11, effectively causing the Muda Dam, which was built to release water into the Muda River, to drop to 9.9 per cent. on July 25 .
