The CTICC sources its water from both the City of Cape Town and its own reverse osmosis (RO) plant, which converts seawater for operational use. Over the 12-month period under review, 54 254 kL of municipal water was used, compared to 55 348 kL in the previous period – a 2% reduction.
While modest, this decrease highlights the tangible impact of the CTICC’s investment in the RO plant, water-efficient equipment, and ongoing conservation initiatives.
All of the water we use, including in the kitchens and drinkable water from the taps, is from the reverse osmosis plant, which has a 15-year lifespan.
The significant saving was realised because of the implementation of the reverse osmosis (RO) plant, which converts groundwater to potable water.
Installed to cater fully for all our daily water consumption needs, it can produce 200 000 litres of potable drinking water in a 24-hour cycle and has a tank storage capacity of 400 000 litres, to accommodate for maximum demand scenarios.
