Use water wisely until dams re-fill, Penang residents told


GEORGE TOWN: Penangites should use water wisely until the Air Itam and Teluk Bahang dams are re-filled, says Penang Water Supply Corporation (PBAPP) chief executive officer K. Pathmanathan

"In March, PBAPP recorded 66.5mm of rainfall in the water catchment area (WCA) of the Air Itam Dam and strived to stabilise its effective capacity with the Air Itam Dam Action Plan 2024. Its effective capacity dropped by 2.0% over 31 days," he said.
