CM calls on Penangites to cut water usage by 20% to preserve dam levels


GEORGE TOWN: Penangites have been urged to join efforts to prevent the state dam levels from going down by reducing domestic water consumption by 20% every day.

Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow said based on the Penang Water Supply Corporation (PBAPP) water consumption data for 2022, a 20% reduction in domestic consumption will result in a saving of 106.8 million litres per day (MLD) of water.
