Flushing away red tape ...

Excerpt from ABC News:

Flushing away red tape

27 March 2007

It seems like in ingenious idea - put a sink on top of the toilet cistern, and then all the water you use to wash your hand helps fill the cistern in readiness for the next flush.

The Japanese embraced the integrated hand-basin toilet design years ago, but until now, Brisbane residents have had trouble finding plumbers to help them install the clever toilet.

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.
