Toowoomba City Council: why Wivenhoe link is not an option ...

Pipeline to Wivenhoe:

"If the project were to go ahead it would cost around $115 million with high operating costs, as water would have to be pumped up the Great Dividing Range."

"Capital cost - $115 million - 60% TCC: 40%: State government."

"High operating and maintenance cost due to increase lift from Wivenhoe to Toowoomba."

Deputy Premier Anna Bligh went to great lengths to tell people at deputations in Toowoomba on Sunday afternoon that the Norwin water swoop is still as option!! All options will be considered and the Task Force is still working on it.

If you believe that you believe in fairies at the bottom of the garden.

They do not have a clue and are making it up as they go.

Looks like all the options are still on the table - and the Wivenhoe link is a very long-term one.
