Railways of Geraldton Tap Ocean to Make Fresh Water
In Geraldton the railway builds a condenser to distill ocean water for consumptive needs. A distillation garden with six effects, a 60 ft water tower, and a 100,000 gal underground tank supply the system. The operation uses six pumps and coal-fired boilers to produce about 1,620 to 1,660 gallons per hour. Prior water costs were higher, now reduced to 1d per 1000 gallons including overheads and savings.
