SEQ - highest mix of recycled water in the world ...
Excerpt from the Courier Mail:
Recycled mix may be 50:50
3 February 2007
UQ professor Greenfield isn't aware of a higher level
Southeast Queensland could have the highest percentage of recycled water in its drinking supply of any place in the world if the drought continues.
If Brisbane's dams are almost empty when the recycled water pipeline comes on line late next year, all that would be left in the dam would be a 50-50 mix of desalinated and recycled water.
The chairman of the Water Commission's recycled water advisory panel, University of Queensland professor Paul Greenfield, said he wasn't aware of a higher recycled water concentration anywhere.
See - Highest levels of recycled water in the world.
The ill-fated Water Futures project in Toowoomba proposed 25-29% recycled water, a mix regarded as 'high by international standards and which would require detailed review and further studies'. Mayor Thorley reluctantly agreed to 3-5 years testing of the recycled water before it was used for drinking.
And here we have Premier Beattie wanting to put the highest mix of recycled water in the world through SEQ's household taps - with no testing period.
Amazing ...

On Toowoomba's Win News 02/02/07 Mayor Thorley had to finally come clean and tell her community that there is NO Armageddon problem in this city.
She and her engineer (Kevie) told the people what the No team people have been saying for all times that the bores will sustain us and we can put another one down in the GAB if need be.
This did not include the groundwater from Oakey!!!
Thorley is nothing short of a liar and her Yes case backers should be just as upset for this blatant misuse of her position to mislead the people.
