AAAC AUG 2026 RUN

AAA TUESDAY 25th AUGUST 2026
August Week Day run to the Desalination Plant at Lonsdale
We have booked the AAAC in for a tour of the plant arriving at 9:45am for a 10:00 am start.
These free tours offered by SA Water are typically conducted on Tuesdays.
Parking is available on site just in front of the main gates and Infront of the Kauwi Learning Centre
The tour begins at the Kauwi Learning Centre with a short presentation about the desalination process. Following that, we board the mini bus wearing supplied hi-vis vests. Visitors are required to wear closed in shoes as well. There is a minimum of 15 people and a maximum of 23 for the bus. The tour takes around 2 hours.
The bus will take the group around the plant spanning 32 ha and stop at a viewing platform and if a plant is under maintenance on the day, we may take a look inside the plant building.
At the February meeting, we are taking names of members and partners who will definitely be interested in the tour. We need numbers due to the minimum & maximum numbers for the bus. Should there be more 38 people interested, we may be able to arrange a further tour in the afternoon and subsequent booking of a second bus.
