Anse Boileau Water Treatment Plant
The Anse Boileau Water Treatment Plant is an essential component of the infrastructure on the western side of Mahé Island. The facility combines traditional surface water treatment methods with modern desalination capacities to ensure a consistent supply for local communities. The plant sources water from nearby rivers and mountain streams, which is then purified through various filtration stages and disinfection processes. Due to the topographical conditions of the west coast, this station is particularly important for regional agricultural farms and households. During periods of low rainfall, the system is supported by integrated desalination modules capable of processing seawater directly. The plant is under the supervision of the Public Utilities Corporation and has undergone substantial modernization in recent years. The goal of these investments is to guarantee water quality according to international standards and to minimize distribution network losses.
