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.

I read with interest the Greens party's Mr Parnell statement that it is more expensive to do desalination when all in the know say that they have no idea as to the true cost of running a recycled sewage plant. The membrane technology is so new that the time frame in which they would have to be replaced is uncertain and the down time due to clogging of them would have to be factored in also.
The desalination option is acceptable to most of the community and the power to run such a scheme could come from a number of options.
The one in Western Australia is using wind and wave power.
