IPOH: Perak is prepared to sell treated water to Penang but it still depends on whether there is enough supply for its own people, says Datuk Seri Saarani Mohamad.

The Perak Mentri Besar said the Penang government had written to him about two months ago, suggesting that the island state was prepared to discuss buying treated water from the Perak Water Board (LAP).
