No no ... put the sewage in this dam not that one ...

Deputy Mayor Ramia seems fixated on putting recycled sewage into Cooby Dam.

In today's Chronicle, he seems dismayed at suggestions raised at a SEQ Council of Mayors meeting that recycled sewage could be pumped into Cressbrook Dam.

Says Councillor Ramia:

"I'm quite surprised by this and we certainly don't want to put recycled water into Cressbrook, which is our number one drinking water dam."

If recycled sewage is as great as the Deputy Mayor would have us believe, surely there's no difference between pumping it into Cooby Dam or into Cressbrook Dam.

Then again, what does the Deputy Mayor perhaps know that he's not telling us.

Is he not as convinced of the technology as he has led us to believe?

Does he want to pump recycled sewage into the smaller Cooby Dam so that if it doesn't work he can closed the dam off?

More explanations required from the Council ...

Prehaps he is about to break away with the other male members of council, and leave the females with this hot potato!

If the great split in Council occurs, it will probably take us by surprise - such is the nature of these things. And it may be something quite minor which triggers it. If it does occur, there's going to be a major blame game going on. Whoever is the ultimate fall guy (and you can guess who it probably is), it's not going to be fun.

When will these councillor realize that the people do not want recycled sewage water in any dam.
