Sweet water for Meerensee area (South Africa)
âŠ
THE desalination plant at Alkantstrand is already in production and by the time it is commissioned on 1 February, it will supply enough water to supply Meerensee, Mzingazi and Mbonambi.
Speaking at a drought crisis meeting in Richards Bay on Tuesday, Muneka Paradzai, Project Manager at the Department of Water and Sanitation (DWS) said the salt water to drinking water plant was already producing 3.5 megalitres (Ml), which would climb to 10Ml in full production.
âTesting is being done and the taste is excellent â slightly sweeter than consumers are accustomed to.
âThe water from the plant will be sent to the Meerensee [âŠ]
