Adelaide Desalination Plant tour
The Adelaide Desalination Plant at Lonsdale is the state’s largest desalination plant able to produce 100 gigalitres a year. As metropolitan Adelaide’s only climate-independent source of drinking water, it has been delivering drinking water since 2011.
Join a guided tour to see how we turn seawater into fresh clean drinking water, and how important desalination is to South Australia’s water security.
Please note, this tour takes place from a vehicle. Please let us know if your group does not have access to a mini-bus to discuss options.
