GEORGE TOWN: A federal project costing RM6.3 million to improve a flood retention pond will be completed next week to help end flash floods in the inner city area.
The project, expected to be completed on June 19, involves upgrading three pump units, the pond structure, mechanical systems, and electrical supply, as well as desilting works to increase the pond’s capacity.
It will benefit almost 40,000 residents in the George Town area, the ministry of energy transition and water transformation said in a statement after a working visit by deputy minister Abdul Rahman Mohamad to inspect progress.
The ministry said monsoon transitions and heavy rainfall exceeding the capacity of existing drainage systems have frequently triggered flash floods in the area.
