The truth Mayor Thorley cannot contradict ...

It's something that troubles the Yes team.

They know it's losing them votes.

And yet there's not much they can do about it.

Mayor Thorley's recycled sewage scheme involves pumping 25% recycled sewage into our drinking water supply.

That's ONE-QUARTER of the water we will consume.

Singapore, one of the Mayor's favourite examples, uses only 1%.

So Toowoomba is being asked to accept something that is 25 TIMES the level of recycled sewage used in Singapore.

Even Toowoomba City Council's own advisers, CH2M Hill, said in their report which formed part of the Council's NWC funding application, that 25% was high by international standards.

Mayor Thorley has at NO time explained why Toowoomba residents need to drink recycled sewage at rates which are 25 times the rate used in Singapore.

She has NEVER explained why Toowoomba has to be the experiment for the world at these levels.

It's costing them votes and they know it ...
