Major power failure at Victoria’s desalination plant fixed

Aquasure had shipped in massive diesel generators as its contingency power supply, which would have been highly polluting and caused a large local backlash.

Water Minister Lisa Neville said Aquasure’s statement was good news.

“As we have always said, we expect Aquasure to deliver this water by June 30.” (LINK)

 These would include treating waste water even further to put it in the potable system, drawing water from the Table Mountain Group Aquifer and the Cape Flats Aquifer, and in the long term, an ambitious R15bn desalination project with Eskom that would cost R1.2bn in operating expenditure (LINK).
