Thames Water to resume desalination after drought
Thames Water plans to restart its desalination plant in east London later this year to help build up reservoir supplies for next summer, but it will not be operational during the current drought. The plant has only operated five times over 15 years, providing just seven days’ worth of London's water needs and costing a total of £500 million. Despite this, the company aims to activate the facility in winter, though financial and technical challenges, including high electricity costs and aging membranes, have limited its use.
