Work is underway to install a new 207 kilolitre per day groundwater reverse osmosis desalination plant.
The plant will be located at Kurka Dr, Oodnadatta, which is close to the existing groundwater bores and water distribution network infrastructure.
Crews are currently onsite completing civil works to prepare the land for the arrival of treatment facilities and treated water storage tanks. Offsite at our metropolitan depots, the treatment facilities are being assembled in their shipping container housing, which will protect them from the elements once installed on location.
Crews will typically work Monday to Saturday between 7am and 7pm, with some night and Sunday work required at peak construction and commissioning times.
Local community members have received training and are being employed to assist with Heritage Surveillance as crews undertake earthworks, to help minimise the risk of impact sites or artefacts.
Construction work is expected to be underway until May 2023, when focus will move to commissioning the new water treatment facilities and connecting the new supply to homes.

Planning is underway to install a new 87 kilolitre per day groundwater reverse osmosis desalination plant.
The plant will be located at Plover Street, Marla, which is close to the existing groundwater bores and water distribution network infrastructure.
Our environment and heritage teams are currently completing assessments to inform detailed design that avoids artifacts and areas of significance within the high-level pipe alignments and treatment plant site. Offsite at our metropolitan depots, the treatment facilities are being assembled in their shipping container housing, which will protect them from the elements once installed on location.
Works have commenced and are expected to continue for around 10 months, when focus will move to commissioning the new water treatment facilities and connecting the new supply to homes.

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.
