Excerpt from the Courier Mail:

Recycled water fight begins

20 March 2007
...

Cr Manners said the booklet, entitled 'Think Before You Agree To Drink' was being delivered on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday to southeast Queensland letter boxes.

He said he expected about 1.2 million residents in 400,000 homes would read it.

Cr Manners said it was a myth that London and Singapore were using recycled water in their domestic drinking supplies.

He said pro-recycled water lobby had been telling 'lies' and exaggerating the widespread acceptance of recycled water in supplies.

Cr Manners was elected in a by-election last year to Toowoomba City Council after running a similar campaign there against recycling water for domestic supply.
