TCC - recycling technology needs improvement ...
Toowoomba City Council's view on recycled sewage in its draft Report in August 2004 (referred to as June 2004 by Jondaryan Shire Council):
"The potable reuse of wastewater is not considered to be viable at this time. However, improvements in technology in the future may alter this assessment."
Somehow between August 2004 and June 2005 when the NWC application was submitted Council changed their mind, thinking that making their residents drink water containing at least 25% recycled sewage (which is not done ANYWHERE else in the world) was now viable.
There's some explaining to be done ...

The longer this goes on, the more documents come out of the closet.
This is amazing - 8 or 9 months before they submitted the NWC appln. the council thought recycling sewage was not viable and the science was not proven. Then suddenly, they do a 180 degree turn.
You're right - please explain!

Does TCC have any document which shows that drinking a cocktail of recycled sewage at rates of 25% and above is safe over the long-term for humans?
That document would be worth reading.

The time frame was shorter that 8 months as the Mayor was telling ladies at a luncheon in May 2055 and the plan was well developed before that.
Who made the offer that could not be refused?

Something doesn't smell right.
We deserve an explanation for the sudden u-turn.

This is amazing - just before they starting saying they wanted us to drink recycled poo they thought it wasn't safe to do so. Geez bring on the referendum and the election. We've got to send these people a message. Stupidity is replied to via the ballot box.
