€60 Million Reverse Osmosis Plant Planned For Ħal Far

Malta is set to get a new €60 million Reverse Osmosis plant in Ħal Far, with the Water Services Corporation (WSC) unveiling plans for a facility capable of producing 40 million litres of drinking water per day.

Announced by Energy Minister Miriam Dalli, the project is expected to increase Malta’s total water production capacity to around 200 million litres daily by 2030.

The new plant will help meet the expected rise in water demand over the next 20 years, while strengthening the country's ability to maintain supply if one of its five existing production plants needs to shut down for maintenance, refurbishment or unexpected repairs.

The project will also include around nine kilometres of new pipelines connecting Ħal Far to the Qrendi reservoir, allowing the additional water to feed directly into the national distribution network.

WSC CEO Karl Cilia said the investment will complete the corporation's five-year plan to increase water production capacity, adding that it will allow any one of the production plants to be taken offline without affecting the water supply.

The project is expected to strengthen Malta's water security and ensure greater continuity in the supply of drinking water.
