Vipingo Development’s Water Desalination Plant
Vipingo Development commenced a water production from its 3 million litres per day desalination plant.
The plant has a capacity to supply over 3,000 households with clean water in the Vipingo development as well as surrounding areas.
Through desalination, the Shs400 million processing plant will purify water from the Indian Ocean and make sure it is safe for drinking and other uses.
The coastal region has an acute water shortage with a demand of 186,000 cubic meters per day against a supply of 42,000m3/day.
Institutions like schools, hospitals, and industries can rely on a stable water supply, a crucial value proposition poised to stimulate additional investments in Vipingo.
To address the persistent water shortage challenge and act as a development catalyst, we strategically constructed a desalination plant.
This plant provides a sustainable water supply to meet the growing water demand accompanying the organic expansion of the entire coastal region’s development.
Vipingo has additionally installed 4 million litres of water storage capacity and constructed 12.4 kilometers water pipeline to supply water to various projects within the 10,254-acre mixed development.
“The commencement of water production is a testament of what Vipingo Development can do in the spirit of delivering to promise, as demonstrated by how closely we worked with our contractors and installation team from Metito to deliver a successful project.”
The desalination plant will provide a recurring income stream to Vipingo Development, enhancing its ability to create long-term value to our stakeholders.
