The nearby town of Ceduna records an average annual rainfall of roughly 296.7 mm (11.7 in), making water supply a crucial issue for the community. Residents rely on wind‑driven pumps and stored runoff to meet their water needs.
Penong hosts the West Coast Football Club, which plays in Ceduna, and the Penong Race Club’s Far West Farmers Penong Cup horse race each March. The local Progress Association also secured funding in 2019 to build a shaded shelter and seating area for families and visitors.
Many properties use privately owned windmills that draw water from the Anjutabie Basin. In 1923 the South Australian Railways built underground concrete water tanks with a capacity of 4.54 million litres to capture surface runoff for community use.
