Mayor Thorley explains ...

From today's Chronicle:

Parents and children can get a better understanding of [what] Toowoomba's water recycling scheme means at a special morning tea organised by the Childbirth and Parenting Education Association. The morning tea will be held at 9.45am at Grand Central. Mayor Cr Dianne Thorley will be the guest speaker.

Do you think the Mayor's opening sentences will be:

"I just want to tell you that no other city in the world asks its citizens to drink recycled water at the rates we're proposing. Singapore is a maximum of 1% and we're going to do somewhere between 25% and 29%. Even our advisers think that this is high by international standards."

Wouldn't that be refreshing?

Who in their right mind would want to expose children or anybody to this water.

It is obvious our Mayor is desperate.

At a recent visit to London UK, a conversation with a representative of the Plumbers Guild stated that more than 20% of recycled sewerage is fed back into the water system. The only problem was that the hormone from the female contrceptive pill cannot be eliminated. this will result in men with larger breasts and the effect on male babies is not known, but genectic changes are quite possible.
