Penang to double water conservation surcharge from Sept


GEORGE TOWN: Penang will double its water conservation surcharge to 48 sen for every 1,000 litres for usage exceeding 35,000 litres per month effective Sept 1.

However, Penang Water Supply Corporation (PBAPP) general manager Jaseni Maidinsa said in a statement that the increase would not have any impact on 72% of the domestic water consumers because they used less than 35,000 litres per month (those with water bills below RM21.40).
