Only 7 months left of Deputy Mayor Ramia ...

Deputy Mayor Ramia is in today's Chronicle bleating about how there is only 1 year's water left in the dams - then we'll be "virtually relying" on water from bores.

He then gets in a bit of scaremongering on the GAB bore - it's got air in it.

See - Free from Ramia in 7 months.

Due to evaporation, it is a sensible strategy to use dam water in preference to groundwater sources. Toowoomba can if necessary rely on groundwater supplies to get the city through the drought.

Then there's always the other options that could be considered but hell would freeze over and Toowoomba people would die of thirst before this current Council considered anything other than the failed Water Futures recycled water plant.

You do have to wonder why!

Also, the Deputy Mayor Ramia has missed the big point.

There may only be one year's supply of water left in the dams (assuming no rain) but Toowoomba only has 7 months to the next Council election when we will wave goodbye to the Deputy Mayor and his threatening phone calls and scaremongering.

Not a moment too soon ...
