Penang will draw water from Mengkuang Dam if levels in Sungai Muda drop too low

GEORGE TOWN: Penang will draw water from the Mengkuang Dam if levels in Sungai Muda fall too shallow and cannot provide sufficient raw water.

Penang Water Supply Corporation (PBAPP) chief executive officer K. Pathmanathan said a maximum of 600 million litres of raw water per day (MLD) would be drawn from Mengkuang Dam (EMD) if it cannot abstract sufficient raw water from Sungai Muda.
