THE public have been reassured that the water at the dams would not overflow into the nearby houses even if the dams reach full capacity as an effective mechanism has been put in place to prevent such incident.

Penang Water Supply Corporation (PBAPP) said water from both the Ayer Itam and Teluk Bahang dams would be released to the treatment plants when the capacity hit 90%.
