Sembcorp Siza Water recycles most of the region’s wastewater into drinkable water that achieves “Blue Drop Status”, the regulatory tool used by the Department of Water Affairs to monitor Drink Water Quality.

Following a major upgrade, the facility needed new water reservoirs installed urgently. SBS Tanks was able to provide a temporary one-million litre storage tank within four days. Eight weeks later, the company install one 3.3-million litre water storage tank and one 2-million litre storage tank that would store the recycled and treated potable water.
