ANN/THE STAR – Penang is preparing for its next dry season in January 2025 as September rainfall fails to fill its water reserves to safe levels.
Penang Water Supply Corporation (PBAPP) chief executive officer Datuk K Pathmanathan, in a statement, advised Penangites to use water wisely to help the state’s water reserves recover.
“After eight dry months in 2024, the effective capacities of the Air Itam and the Teluk Bahang dams are finally showing improvements with heavy rainfall in Penang since September 1,” he said.
“However, the reserves of these two dams must reach significantly higher levels before the next dry season, which is expected to begin in January 2025,” he added.
