The latest on Cornwall's proposed desalination plants

David Harris, South West Water’s Drought and Resilience Director, said: “We have found two potential sites for desalination in Cornwall where we are currently running detailed suitability assessments. As part of the process, we are looking at working with potential suppliers and will be able to share dates of our next phase when this is complete. We are working closely with the Environment Agency and Cornwall Council to get work started as early possible. Meanwhile, we have recently launched our Save Every Drop campaign urging customers and visitors to the region to reduce their water consumption wherever possible.”
