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.
MP Copeland once again questions the need to force Toowoomba residents to drink recycled sewage when potable water is poured on crops and there are water source alternatives.

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.

What is this minister trying to align himself with Joe, what a joke.
He should be ashamed of himself.

We are not a country in dire need of water. Recycles sewage should only be an option for small cities or towns, and should only for non-drinking purpose. That is all the State Parliment has to issue, then there would be no need to spend MILLIONS $'s and make fruitless attempts to force people to accept it, we are not communist or third world country.
But what can we expect from a country run by a US lover.
