A new drinking water supply for Marree

Planning is underway to install a new 126 kilolitre per day groundwater reverse osmosis desalination plant.

The plant will be housed in a shipping container to be located at Fourth St, close to the existing groundwater bores, elevated water tanks, and other infrastructure.

We expect to start bore drilling in February 2023 and then commence construction. Once construction has begun, we will bring in the containerised desalination plant and the focus will move to replace the existing water mains with new pipes and meters. We estimate to complete those works by December 2023.
