What Toowoomba City Council should be doing ...

While the cost of retrofitting existing suburbs for dual pipe (or purple pipe) recycled water may be considered expensive or impractical, new subdivisions in Toowoomba could be required to do this.

The dual pipe approach is to be adopted by Jondaryan shire for all new subdivisions. Crows Nest shire is adopting a similar approach.

Follow the link - South East Water video - to a short presentation on the dual pipe approach used in Melbourne.

Makes you wonder why Mayor Thorley is so hell-bent on making Toowoomba residents drink recycled sewage water but proposes to continue pouring bore water on Toowoomba's parks and gardens ...

Even if the yes vote wins time is almost up for Thorley and Beattie. They better pray the drought breaks because they won't be able to stop it with recycled effluent!
