Labour leader Joseph Muscat said today that the dilapidated building which used to house a desalination plant at Hondoq Bay, Gozo, could be replaced by new facilities including an indoor swimming pool.

Speaking during campaigning for the local council election, the Labour leader said Labour was proposing the demolition of the old building and its replacement, on the same or a smaller footprint, by new facilities.

Architect  Clint Camilleri,one of the candidates, said the site could be used for an indoor swimming pool and fitness centre, public toilets and changing rooms as well as a restaurant and cafeteria. The structure would use recycled aggregate, recycled concrete, geo-thermal energy and photovoltaic panels.
