Project Overview

Veolia recycles 98% of the water produced by the eThekwini wastewater treatment plant south of Durban. The 47,500 m3 of wastewater treated daily (equivalent to 15 Olympic swimming pools) is used by local industries in their production processes. Recycling water for industrial use helps to reduce water abstraction in the environment and to concentrate fresh water resources on the production of drinking water for 220,000 inhabitants of the Durban agglomeration.
