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.
... for the Referendum showdown on recycled sewage for drinking.
posted by Concerned Ratepayer at 7:26 AM
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.

If we let Thorley win this battle, Toowoomba will be bad named as the worlds first idiots to drink 25+% recycled sewage.
Toowoomba will no longer be called the Garden City, and it seems Thorley and this council are on a binge to make that happen.
It's time we stand up and let Thorley know we are not going to destory this towns images with such a stupid project when many other avenue's are available at the same or near cost of subjecting Australia to recycled sewage industry.

and the Federal government is swimming in money - they can afford to use our money to fund a proper water source option.

Desal plants for Brisbane and an allocation of water from Wivenhoe for Toowomba and treated effluent for agriculture and industry. Now that is what I would vote YES for! For too long now Wivenhoe and Somerset have been sucking dry the SE inland only to be gobbled up by the heavy industry high water users in Brisbane and the power stations.

And not only that, 900 people get a water upgrade just 15Km from Toowoomba. Wyreema has the go ahead to upgrade the towns water supply to make it more stable, while we vote on a recycled sewage scheme, seems a bit odd that Toowoomba has been left high and dry with all the new water schemes being put in place, WTF have we done to deserver this.
Time for Thorley to fes up the reason!
