The plant is built on a 32ha site. Sponsored by the South Australian Government and SA Water, it is able to cover around 50% of Adelaide’s annual water supply by delivering up to 100gl of water each year.

Adelaide’s desalination project involved the construction of two 50gl capacity sea water reverse osmosis (SWRO) desalination plants and a 20km transfer pipeline.

The A$1.83bn plant was constructed at Lonsdale, near Port Stanvac, approximately 30km south of the Adelaide central business district (CBD). The plant is also known as Port Stanvac Desalination plant

“This involved a process called ‘potholing’ where our crews drill a specific depth into the ground to assess soil condition and quality, as well as confirm where other existing underground services like electricity and telecommunications are located, to safely plan the installation of our water pipeline,” Mr Henchliffe said.

Residents in a remote South Australian town can now access drinking water from their taps, following the construction of a new desalination plant delivered by SA Water. 

The new small-scale reverse osmosis plant, stationed on Kurka Drive, can produce up to 210,000L of safe and clean drinking water each day for residents. 

SA Water General Manager for Sustainable Infrastructure, Amanda Lewry, said that the new desalination plant marks an important milestone for the outback town.
