GEORGE TOWN, Oct 24 —The Expanded Mengkuang Dam (EMD) in Penang is still serving its purpose as a strategic drought reserve and remains a useful emergency raw water resource for...
Penang Water Supply Corporation chief executive officer K. Pathmanathan said there was nothing wrong with the EMD and that it was not one of the ‘high-risk dams’ as reported in several news reports yesterday that quoted the SPAN.
He said the EMD's current maximum drawdown capacity of 300 million litres per day will also be increased to 600 MLD in 2024 under Phase 2B of the RM1.2 billion Mengkuang Dam Expansion Project by the Federal Government.He said the current limited drawdown capacity of 300 MLD meant that EMD could not fully back up Sungai Muda as an emergency raw water resource for the Sungai Dua Water Treatment Plant .
He also appealed to the federal government to complete Phase 2C of the MDEP which is to construct a new 440 MLD pumping station at Sungai Muda to enable efficient refilling of the EMD during wet seasons. Pathmanathan said the EMD was handed back to the Penang state government in October 2020 after its maximum storage capacity was expanded from 22 billion litres to 86.4 billion litres.
