Turks and Caicos Water Company

TCWC produces desalinated water from its state-of-the-art Reverse Osmosis plant 24 hours a day, 365 days of the year.

Desalination is the creation of fresh water from salt water sources, in this case utilising high salt content water from deep in the island’s bedrock. Over 50% of desalination activities worldwide, including those at TCWC, are undertaken through the process of Reverse Osmosis (RO), which allows water to travel through a synthetic membrane under high pressure, rejecting 99.9% of the salt and contaminates contained in seawater.

HAB Group has invested heavily in recent years, to provide an RO facility with sufficient capacity to provide drinking-standard water to Provos’ residents, tourists and companies alike. Production exceeds 4 million gallons per day, with further growth expected in future years.
