GEORGE TOWN, May 17 — The Penang Water Supply Corporation should improve its crisis management to prevent sudden water cuts that have affected hundreds of thousands of consumers in the state, Air Putih assemblyman Lim Guan Eng said today.
He was commenting on 400,000 water consumers who found their taps running dry last Sunday when water levels in Sungai Muda dropped due to a faulty barrage gate.Lim said Penang has a contingency plan for droughts — the Mengkuang Dam in Bukit Mertajam, which holds 86.4 billion litres of water at full capacity.
He said Penang uses about one billion litres of water per day, 200 million from the two dams and 800 million from Sungai Muda.
