Sydney’s desalination plant now on

Sydney’s new desalination plant is now operating, sending water into households and businesses via a new 18 km pipeline.

The plant will be gradually ramped up to supply 250 million litres of drinking water a day, which is 15 % of our water supply needs.

It will supply drinking water to about 1.5 million people, as part or all of their water supply.
