    Remember that Kurnell desal plant that was built to save us from droughts and Warragamba drying up? It cost billions, and cost us millions in maintenance even when it was not operating.

    Whatever THE FUCK happened to that?

    Also, searching ‘sydney water restrictions’ is a shitshow, pages leading to 404s, rubbish info,.so good luck even trying to do the right thing

    Does it even matter? Australia sold all it’s water

      Kurnell is currently mothballed, as in, it’s not operational until required again.

      The article mentions an upgrade to it the government is considering.

      Desal is an ok solution depending on if people can stomach the environmental impacts of another dam.

        Kurnell Is also tiny, it can supply bugger all water. Not like VIC’s Wonthaggi plant that can provide a massive proportion of Melbourne’s water.
