MP Malcolm Turnbull - no need to use recycled water for drinking ...

At a discussion in Sydney on 8 November 2005, Federal MP Malcolm Turnbull reiterated previous comments regarding the need to use recycled water for drinking.

Discussing the recent House of Representatives Inquiry report on Sustainable Cities, he made the following comments:

"But from a practical point of view there is simply no need to introduce recycled water into the potable water system. There are ample uses for recycled water: industrial, parks, gardens, street cleaning and above all, replenishing the streamflows of our rivers and thereby replacing the potable water currently released into them."

An advocate of recycling water, Mr Turnbull does not see the need to use it for drinking purposes.
