In September 2026, Penang's Sungai Dua Water Treatment Plant (WTP) was honored by The Malaysia Book of Records (MBR) for its water recovery and environmental sustainability accomplishments. Penang Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow highlighted the achievement as a testament to the state's commitment to innovation and improvement of water supply services.

The recognition highlights Penang's dedication to environmentally friendly water treatment practices and the state's goal to make water supply an asset rather than a liability by 2030 through the Water Contingency Plan 2030 (WCP 2030). The plan includes the completion of eight water supply projects worth RM2.1 billion, securing three additional raw water resources, and increasing overall water treatment capacity by 602 million litres per day.
