The 4350water Blog highlights some of the issues relating to proposals for potable reuse in Toowoomba and South East Qld. 4350water blog looks at related political issues as well.
Rumour has it that Mayor Thorley will not be doing her recycled sewage roadshow at the Water Reuse and Recycling Conference in Sydney on 26-28 April 2006, instead sending Director of Engineering Services, Kevin Flanagan, in her place.

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.

Maybe the water industry has figured out that it is not the image they want.
CADS called for the community to have their say and we are to have a referendum.
The answer will be NO and then we can get on with setting down the other options which have always been there.
Toowoomba will go down in history as the city that won the fight against the big end of town.

I am off the water issue a bit here, but I am hoping it was out of Mayor Thorley hands in what happened with Olive in todays paper. The family did'nt want Thorley there. But if Thorley could have made a difference she just lost my last two points. If this man had not fought for this country he might be with his wife now. It does'nt make sense. Neither does drinking recycled sewage.

Council couldn't think outside the square - seems to be their problem a lot of the time.

What about what the poor women had to endue when he husband was fighting in the war. That is why these women receive pensions from Veterans Affairs and rightly so.
The council should be made bury Olive with her husband. Shame on you TCC.
