The Water and Sewerage Authority (WASA) said the Point Lisas Desalination Plant has resumed operations ahead of schedule, following the successful completion of its annual planned maintenance shutdown.

In a release, it said the maintenance work being carried out by plant owner and operator Desalcott was originally scheduled for completion on August 24, but was finalised at 9 am on August 22.

It said the early restart was a direct result of effective collaboration and constant co-ordination between WASA and Desalcott throughout the maintenance period.
