National water agency PUB will call for a tender on Friday (Dec 26) to study the feasibility for a potential new water desalination plant in Singapore.
The city-state currently has five operational desalination plants: three in Tuas South, and one each at Marina East and Jurong Island.
In a statement on Friday, PUB said the feasibility study is expected to take around 10 months to complete.
“[It] will entail the development of various plant design options, and assessments on the technical feasibility and economic viability of the proposed designs,” said the agency, adding that the study will also assess the viability of a dual-mode plant similar to the existing plant in Marina East.
