WSAA - comments on recycled water ...
Comments in the Australian Financial Review on 3 March 2006:
Executive Director of the Water Services Association of Australia, Ross Young said that "each of the states has its own health and environmental regulations, but they are often quite inconsistent with each other. There's no national regulation." He said industry should not be forced to use recycled water, but millions of litres of drinking water could be saved for cities with better planning and co-ordination.
"We need to put an emphasis on identifying where recycled water could be used for industry instead of drinking water, because that means more water in our dams."
If industry should not be forced to use recycled water, why should Toowoomba residents be forced to drink it?
