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.

Projects to make resdients drink recycled effluent should be made illegal. There are many other ways we can use the water!

Using recycled water for drinking should be a last resort.
It should be used for industrial and commercial uses, freeing up drinking water for drinking.
Councils which adopt this strategy will find community support for their proposals.

The council will only get community support when it stops trying to force this project down people's throats!
Has the council not heard it said enough times - the community does not want to drink recycled water.
If they haven't heard it yet - they will at the next council election.
