THE new dissolved air flotation (DAF) water treatment plant at Penang’s Bukit Panchor can improve water shortage problems at Nibong Tebal’s Mukim 5 sub-district, says Penang Water Supply Corporation (PBAPP) chief executive officer K. Pathmanathan.

He said the new facility could produce an additional 10 million litres per day (MLD) to about 1,500 accounts, especially in Sungai Bakap.
