The current water level at the Teluk Bahang Dam in Penang. The dam has a bigger capacity than the Air Itam Dam.

PENANG Water Supply Corporation (PBAPP) will spend about RM150mil to install a pipe to transfer water from the Air Itam Dam to the Teluk Bahang Dam.

Its chief executive officer Datuk Jaseni Maidinsa said that although Friday’s flood was not due to the overflowing of Air Itam Dam, the water at the dam increased by 25% overnight.
