Mayor Thorley not confident of NWC decision ...

Today's Chronicle quotes the Mayor during the Council meetings on 6-7 December:

The long-awaited decision on the $68m Toowoomba Water Futures project is expected within a fortnight. The final decision rests with Prime Minister John Howard. Toowoomba Mayor Dianne Thorley said Mr Howard had all the project details. "And we wait with baited breath for the political interference," she told her council colleagues yesterday.

See - Key players remain divided but Prime Minister holds the key.

The Prime Minister is likely to make a decision shortly on the Mayor's controversial proposal to introduce recycled sewage into Toowoomba's drinking water supply.
