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.
Does it make any sense to finalise the draft Toowoomba 2050 plan by February 2008 when the following month the Toowoomba City Council disappears forever to be replaced with the regional council?

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.

There seems a great rush for this lot to hang onto something they can call a success.
They are running out of time and they are unaware that the community is watch and waiting to put a new bunch in their place.

There was no public meeting where the general public could have an input. Yes we did get a chance to fill in a questionnaire and some people did but the majority of their information came from select groups they invited.
Of those who did answer the questionnaire they told them in no uncertain term that they did not want recycled sewage water and
now we have Cr Ramia talking about dams!!!!!
