About Me

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.

Remember there were no other options:
Excerpt from the Chronicle:
If the drought continued, Great Artesian Basin water would be used by the city.
''I'm pleased to assure the community we've planned for the Armageddon situation, Michele Alroe, who holds the city's Development Assessment portfolio, said.
''In the [sic] case we need to tap into emergency supplies, we're ready to go. The water's being identified; we'll just need the money for drilling.
The money, according to Mr Flanagan, is expected to be readily forthcoming from the State Government.

So much for the water running out by Christmas 2005 ...
