WA to investigate things Toowoomba City Council already knows ...

From WA Business News:

Curtin University of Technology has won a grant of almost $1 million over three years to investigate the treatment of wastewater for indirect re-use, as part of the efforts to address the decline in Perth's drinking water supplies.

The project, led by the WA Health Department, forms part of the Premier's Collaborative Research Program, which will investigate the effectiveness of microfiltration and reverse osmosis to treat wastewater prior to indirect reuse.

Recently launched by WA Premier Dr Geoff Gallop, the program will compliment another major research endeavour, the Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR) project, run by the CSIRO and Water Corporation of WA. Curtin is a minor participant in the MAR project which will assess if treated wastewater can be safely added to local aquifers that supply Perth's drinking water.

But the Toowoomba City Council says it already knows all the answers.

Why the need for more research?
