Dams hit hot water

A plan for two new dams landed the State Government in political hot water yesterday with MPs from all sides of politics speaking out against the proposals.

Water issues dominated State Parliament as the Beattie Government came under fire from the Opposition, Independent MPs and one of its own backbenchers about its handling of the dam projects.

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.
