Lyle and Ruby were in the dark .... but at least Sue's not afraid!

A quick read of the 2004 campaign websites for two of Toowoomba's councillors - Lyle Shelton and Michelle (Ruby) Schneider - shows that they both included the issue of water as part of their campaign but failed to even mention the possibility of using recycled water.

Lyle Shelton:

"While Toowoomba has plenty of water for the next 10-15 years, decisions need to be made in the life of the next Council for beyond that period.

It is possible that our water will last even longer, depending on our ability to “slow the flow” as part of Council’s Water Wise campaign.

New supplies in the future will come via a pipeline from Wivenhoe Dam or from the construction of a fourth dam at Emu Creek near Cooyar."

Michelle Schneider:

"Water is an important issue for Toowoomba. Every resident and business needs to conserve water. If the city runs out of water, we will be buying it at the going rate and that’s a cost for every member of the community."

We can cut Ruby some slack because she wasn't on the old Council, but Lyle was.


Quote of the 2004 campaign goes to Sue Englart who said:

"I have never been afraid to express my views."
