Top 5 alternatives for the Wetalla water reclamation facility

With one of the largest continuous concrete pours in Toowoomba yesterday to complete a portion of the slab for the project's reactor tank, I thought it would be useful to suggest some other uses for the concrete slab.

See: http://www.thechronicle.com.au/storydisplay.cfm?storyid=3654430&thesection=localnews&thesubsection=&thesecondsubsection=

The top 5 are:

1. One large horizontal obelisk - another Mayoral monument!
2. A runway for Toowoomba's new airport (would require further concrete)
3. A new Council carpark (downtown shuttle buses required)
4. Site of the new library for Toowoomba (more shuttle buses required)
5. New Council chambers (we don't see them in this debate, they might as well be out of town!)

Note that the pouring of the concrete slab does not mean that the recycled drinking water facility has the green light. Nothing is finalised yet. In fact, the Deputy Mayor didn't even mention the issue of recycled drinking water in the comments reported:

"As well as producing three-star reclaimed water, the upgrade will help us meet targets for improving the health of the Gowrie Creek system within the Murray-Darling Basin," Cr Ramia said.
