Albany desalination proposal
After plans for seawater desalination in Frenchman Bay were ruled out, Water Corporation are now investigating new areas for potential seawater desalination near Albany.
Water Corporation has advised WAFIC that Nanarup has been selected as the preferred area for a desalination plant in Albany.
Please find attached Water Corporations latest project update with further information on this decision. A summary of the Multi Criteria Assessment used to select the location is available on Water Corporations website.
Further information including fact sheets and maps with the site options can also be found on the project webpage.
WAFIC will share more information with potentially impacted licence holders following a briefing from Water Corporation and as more information becomes available.
If desalination in Nanarup is of concern to your operations, or if you have any feedback, please contact WAFIC. WAFIC can relay any comments/questions to Water Corporation.
