Toowoomba City Council - no Plan B ...

It's the "do it or you'll die" attitude of the Toowoomba City Council.

Head of Engineering Services (now seconded full-time to the Yes campaign to convince Toowoomba residents to drink recycled sewage), Kevin Flanagan, states in today's Chronicle that Toowoomba has no "Plan B" if the July electoral poll on water recycling returns a "No" vote.

He believes it is up to the State goverment to "find us water". He also believes that the consequences of a "No" vote would be a huge extra cost.

Interesting.

Is Toowoomba City Council prepared to guarantee that the total and complete cost of the Water Futures recycled sewage project will be $68 million and no more?

Has Toowoomba City Council already signed a fixed price turnkey construction contract with its preferred construction consortium so that the price is locked in?

Has Toowoomba City Council signed a binding agreement with Acland Coal so they are contractually bound to take the RO waste stream and prevent (at least in the short term) an additional $70 million in cost overruns?

Didn't think so ...
