Doesn't it make total sense to mothball the desal when you don't need it? Pity about water consumption though.

- tonteldoos 9y agoThe desal plants need to be kept running (at least ticking over), otherwise it deteriorates to the point where large parts need to be replaced/fixed again where needed, afaik. I may be wrong that the Gold Coast one is mothballed, but there were also issues about how it was funded, which means it's facing funding problems now when the drought is gone.
