The $387 million desalination plant at Kwinana, south of Perth, is delivering drinking water to Perth after the project was completed on time and within budget.
The plant, developed in a joint venture between Multiplex Group and French company Degremont for the Water Corporation of Western Australia, is the largest of its kind in the southern hemisphere and the third-largest in the world.
It is the first big sea water reverse-osmosis plant to be delivered in Australia and will produce 45 gigalitres of water a year - about 130 million litres a day
- and provide 17 per cent of Perth's water needs.
Electricity for the plant is being sourced from the Emu Downs Wind Farm, which was commissioned in October.
