Roma desal plant opens

13 May 2008

A $20 million reverse osmosis plant will be opened north of Roma today, desalinating nine million litres of water a day from the coal seam gas industry.

Origin says the water being produced is now supplementing flows in a local creek, and could be used for horticulture, forestry, industrial use or supplementing town water supplies.

Origin's chief operating officer, Karen Moses, says the reverse osmosis plant at Spring Gully is turning what was seen as waste water destined for an evaporation pond into a new water resource.

Origin says it has invested $500 million over the past year developing Australia's largest supply of coal seam gas at Spring Gully.
