Desalination Plant
The large-scale, dual-mode Keppel Marina East Desalination Plant is the first of its kind in Singapore, with an innovative design situating treatment equipment completely underground and featuring a lush green rooftop for community recreation.
The KMEDP Green Roof is open from 8am to 9pm daily (last entry at 8pm). The green roof may be temporarily closed for 1 hour or longer if it is overcrowded.

You can take Bus Services 12, 14, 30, 158 and 196 and alight at the bus stop opposite the Costa Rhu Condominium. From there, it is a 20-minute walk to KMEDP.

Part of KMEDP’s design philosophy is to create a green, car-free community that is cyclist and pedestrian-friendly. Hence, please note there are no carparks available at KMEDP and the nearest carpark is the Fort Road carpark about 1.5km away. From the Fort Road carpark, it is a 15-minute walk along the Park Connector Network to reach KMEDP.
In terms of accessibility, the Park Connector Network adjacent to KMEDP will also connect the recreational spaces of East Coast Park to Gardens by the Bay East.
To ensure the safety of all visitors, scanning of the Safe Entry QR code at the main entrance is mandatory for entry. Safe Distancing Ambassadors will also be on duty. Members of the public are reminded to wear masks and keep 1m social distancing.
The green roof is designed to safely accommodate more than 500 pax. However as we are currently in Phase Three, access to the green roof will be restricted to accommodate up to 100 pax. Please refer to this notice.
