Building the City of Cape Town’s water supply system resilience through the permanent Paarden Eiland Desalination Plant
The City of Cape Town (CCT) is developing a permanent 70 Mℓ/day seawater desalination plant at Paarden Eiland to enhance water supply resilience. Currently in the feasibility design phase, the project is part of the New Water Programme (NWP), which aims to add 300 million litres of water per day from diversified sources. The plant will utilize a multi-barrier process including reverse osmosis and advanced oxidation. Procurement opportunities for technologies, construction, and consumables are expected to reach the market in 2027, with the project estimated to create 30 direct jobs and 100-150 indirect construction jobs.
