PENANG’S high water consumption is among the causes of low pressure problems in south Seberang Perai (SPS), says state exco Zairil Khir Johari.

The state infrastructure, transport and digital committee chairman said consumers use twice the amount per capita per day than the national average, thus impacting the system’s pressure during peak hours, which are from 6am to 10am and from 6pm to 11pm.
