Recyclers to Toowoomba residents - we'll find you wherever you go ...
Interesting comment in a Letter to the Editor, the Chronicle (annotated):
"Critics of the water recycling project contend that people will leave this city if we recycle water. [Not if it is used for industry.]
The question has to be asked: Where would they go? [Apart from Toowoomba and possibly Goulburn, anywhere really.]
Recycling is on the agenda right across this country." [Yes, but not for drinking purposes.]
The recyclers are very good at blurring reality - they make lots of references to water recycling being good and water recycling being on the national agenda. However, they often fail to draw the distinction between recycling water for non-potable uses and recycling it for drinking.

Do you know pure h2o's dirty little secret - the one that will make any politician run in the opposite direction when it comes out?
All will be revealed on World Water Day.

We could go to three places where they are assured of plenty of water and they will have nothing to do with recycled sewage water. These places are Chinchilla, Miles and Dalby. They all will have more water than they could use and it's new water out of the ground. They are all taking on the gas water. This is the water our council said is too dear and not safe.
So Jeff you had better get Linda(CH2M Hill) to write you a new letter. We have many options as all other areas only want reclaimed sewage water for industry and agriculture.

Anonymous I think you should give us a hint as to the dirty little secret. How about it?

Hint - it's no secret - anyone can find it out - you just have to look.

Hint #2 - look beyond Toowoomba.

That's not enough, what else do we have to look at?

I'm not going to do your homework for you.
Hint #3 - it's very basic.

Are you are talking about the fact that 30mils of organic molecules get through the membrane and not pure h2o as we were lead to believe?

Is it the person who will present their petition to the parliament?

Hint #4 - it is not that the recycled water is not pure (although that is a real oversight on their part).
