NIBONG TEBAL: Residents of sub-districts 5 in Sungai Bakap are urging the state government to accept Kedah's offer to supply water from the Lubuk Buntar Water Treatment Plant (WTP).

South Seberang Perai sub-district 5 Water Issue Action committee chairman Khairul Ahmad Fitri Suhaimi said an immediate solution to the water problem in sub-district 5 should be through negotiations between the Penang and Kedah state governments to obtain clean water from the Lubok Buntar WTP in Kedah which is located only about 16km from the state border.
