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.

The Council should release the book after each book is censored with a black marker by each of the councillors in favor of it. They should be sat down like school childen and be made to do their homework.
I guess the book after censoring would resemble a letter from a prison camp, with so much information blacked out.

I'm looking forward to reading about the conclusions of recent studies and where it was performed that states it is perfectly safe for humans to drink recycled human waste.

I'm looking forward to reading about the alternatives that they have properly investigated.

Well, the Mayor was quoted as saying last week:
"F--- them I will do what I f---ing well like in MY city."
