GEORGE TOWN: Penang Water Supply Corporation (PBAPP) will continue to ramp up production at the Sungai Dua Water Treatment Plant (WTP) and is hopeful to reach an optimal level of 100% by 6pm on Thursday (July 7).

Its CEO Datuk Jaseni Maidinsa, however, said consumers in end-of-line and higher ground areas throughout Penang may have to wait for a few additional hours for water supply to reach their premises at normal pressures.

"We will continue to draw down water from the Mengkuang Dam to ensure safe raw water turbidity levels for the Sungai Dua WTP. "Water supply to consumers on Penang island namely northeast district to Bukit Dumbar and Sungai Pinang up to Balik Pulau town has been normalised.Meanwhile, the water production capacity of the Sungai Dua WTP, Penang's largest and most important WTP, had reached 61%.

"As a remedial measure, PBAPP immediately reduced abstraction of raw water from Sungai Muda and released raw water stored in the Mengkuang Dam to reduce the turbidity of the raw water in the Sungai Dua Canal which channels raw water to the Sungai Dua WTP," he said, adding that PBAPP restarted water production at noon on the same day.
