The 4350water Blog highlights some of the issues relating to proposals for potable reuse in Toowoomba and South East Qld. 4350water blog looks at related political issues as well.
Interesting report from the Sydney Morning Herald:

For many years, the 4350water blog has informed readers of plans by the Toowoomba City Council (now Toowoomba Regional Council) and the Qld government to introduce recycled water for drinking in Toowoomba. It has also looked at the issue from a State and Federal perspective and dealt with related State and Federal political issues. There continues to be a need for the Toowoomba Regional Council to be completely transparent in its dealings with the ratepayers and residents of Toowoomba. There also continues to be a need for open debate on the benefits and risks of potable reuse and long-term studies on the effects on humans of drinking recycled water. Coal seam gas water is emerging as a possible alternate water source for some uses for the region. The 4350water blog is a collective effort and thanks go to its many contributors.

Toowoomba City Council dropped its rebates for replacing single flush toilets with dual flush toilets this financial year.
It is obvious that they are not concerned about saving water, but more concerned about saving a few dollars for the recycled sewage project.
This council has lost touch with reality. It is time they came back to earth.
If the council was really serious they would be bending over backwards to encourage ratepayers to upgrade to water saving devices.

Why is the Mayor so afraid of an independent review of water supply options for Toowoomba and the surrounding region?
Is she concerned at what they may discover?
