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.

Nothing new. Same info that was raised during the Toowoomba debate, just with a new glossy cover!

My comment from the Courier Mail this morning.
Khan talks about ALL these overseas reuse schemes but where are they? Virginia is trying to move away from its unplanned reuse as it sees it as bad practice. Orange County California is an aquifer recharge project not yet finished. San Diego decided firmly against a potable reuse project. There's no potable reuse in Florida. The report implies lots of implemented planned reuse projects but once again it's only half the picture. Truth is only Singapore at 1% recycled water is similar.
