Following the statement by Energy and Infrastructure Minister Eli Cohen, who said that the water sector would return to full operation yesterday evening, there is still no change in the operation of desalination facilities. The Sorek B and Palmachim facilities are operating partially, and the Hadera desalination facility, the only one that was not shut down, continues to operate as usual. The Water Authority hopes that the Sorek A desalination facility will be able to return to operation, but there is no forecast, and it is also unclear how long the algae pollution will continue along the Mediterranean coast.
