GEORGE TOWN: The Malaysian Meteorological Department’s (MetMalaysia) forecast of higher rainfall in Penang from April to July will hopefully replenish water levels at dams in the state, especially at Air Itam Dam which was reported to be at critical level.
Penang Water Supply Corporation (PBAPP) chief executive officer K. Pathmanathan has urged consumers especially in Air Itam to reduce water usage by 10% in April, May and June to ensure sufficient water in Penang while waiting for arrival of the inter-monsoon season.
