Desalination plant in Richards Bay
The residents of Richards Bay will finally breathe a sigh of relieve after
a desalination plant has been commissioned to ease water woes in the area from today , 01 February 2017 , the Department of Water and Sanitation said .
The desalination plant at Alkantstrand , Richards Bay is in production and is supplying enough water to areas like Meerensee , Mzingazi and Mbonambi and will soon stabilize water supply for businesses and
residents of the area .
Water restrictions have been imposed on Richards Bay residents and some other parts of KwaZulu-Natal as a result of the ongoing drought . This prompted government to consider the development of a major desalination plant for the North Coast .
The option of desalination is a short term intervention plan that the Department of Water and Sanitation is doing while the upgrading of the
Thukela-Goedetrouw transfer scheme is in progress , which will enhance water supply in Richards Bay once completed .
The plant will produce clean water per day , with a potential of an upgrade to any size . This is the largest and most modern desalination plant in the country . A sustainable design was used to reduce its carbon footprint . The plant has one of the smallest carbon footprints which include using energy from renewable sources and harvesting rainwater on-site for use within the plant .
