The 4350water Blog highlights some of the issues relating to proposals for potable reuse in Toowoomba and South East Qld. 4350water blog looks at related political issues as well.
How long since Brisbane newspapers have needed headlines like that?

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.

Excerpt from Courier Mail:
Rain - and more's on the way
6 June 2007
Two more days of significant rain over our dams could deliver Brisbane an extra two weeks to one month's supply of water, SEQWater said today.
SEQWater said the prediction would depend on another 40-50 mm of rainfall over the next two days.
Brisbane senior forecaster Mark Trenorden said yesterday's 40-55mm could be repeated today with further falls on Thursday before conditions began to clear.
"We are expecting more rain fall on and off today and tomorrow with some local and moderate heavy falls.
"For the rest of today and Thursday, with a bit of luck, we may get the same again. It may start to thin out a bit on Thursday possibly.''
...
SEQWater spokesman Mike Foster said the falls this week had been the biggest since October 2005.
