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.

As if we are to believe that these Councillors are going to hear any thing new!!!!
It will not be long and they will be espousing the same rubbish as the 6 pack before them.
God help us all!!
Our country cousins will not have to worry as they will never drink recycled sewage water but you can bet that the new regional councillors will try and push it down our necks.
We have had a vote on the use of it and we rejected it.
The community would easily be rallied if needed again as their feelings have not changed on this matter.

Cr Glasheen is against it. This is what she says on her blog:
In this day and age water is becoming more expensive than petrol.
Recycled water can be used for industry purposes ie parks, gardens,road building, there are multiple uses ...BUT NOT FOR DRINKING.
If they put reclycled water in Wivenhoe then isolate this dam for industry use only and take drinking water from other sources ie dams, bores , tanks.
