About Me
- Name: Concerned Ratepayer

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.

From the Australian:
Street of strife
STREWTH's sympathies go out to the residents of No 3, Boulton St, Toowoomba. At No 5 Boulton St lives Lyle Shelton, a member of the Toowoomba City Council and the National Party candidate in the September 9 Queensland election, who campaigned vigorously against the plan to introduce recycled sewage into Toowoomba's drinking water. Shelton was on the receiving end of a blistering letter to the editor published in the local Toowoomba newspaper, rubbishing his appeal to "keep politics" out of the water debate. "Wasn't it the National Party candidate who invited Lawrence Springborg into the debate in the first place?" thundered letter-writer Janice Swannell. Janice, the wife of Peter Swannell, respected former vice-chancellor of the University of Southern Queensland, could have made her point personally – she lives at No 1 Boulton St, Toowoomba. Water hoses at 20 paces.
