: The Penang state government is closely monitoring the water level and capacity of the Air Itam Dam, which at present can only sustain for another 30 days without rain, said Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow.

Under AIDAP 2024, PWSC has reduced water extraction from the Air Itam Reservoir to ensure its capacity is conserved, he explained. Chow, who is also the PWSC chairman, highlighted that around 10,000 user accounts are serviced by the Air Itam Dam, but presently, only half are receiving water supply from the dam, with the other half getting it from the Sungai Dua Water Treatment Plant.

“Penang typically experiences rainfall from April to June, which we rely on to replenish our dam until the next rainy season between September and November.He also noted that Penang currently receives water supply from Sungai Muda, with levels being relatively comfortable due to control by two dams located in Kedah.
