This Desalination Plant consists of two ROT Units of 500 m³/day each. As of end of December 2024 both ROT units are in operation and are producing 840 m³ of potable water daily. The desalinated water is distributed to the southern region of Rodrigues.

This desalination plant was commissioned on July 7th, 2019. It consists of two ROT units of capacity 500 m³/day. Those were underperforming at a production of 240 m³/day with only one ROT unit which was regularly under breakdown. The RPUC has successfully increased the production of that ROT Unit to 460 m³/day with the introduction of a new Isobarix Energy Recovery device.
A new contenerised ROT unit with capacity 350 m³/day was commissioned in September 2024. As of end of December 2024 the three ROT units are producing 1125 m³/day.
