QGC - positive talks on piping CSG water to towns ...

Excerpt from QGC March 2008 Quarterly Report:

POSITIVE TALKS ON BENEFICIAL USE OF WATER

A key objective of QGC is to provide large volumes of water from its coal seams for the beneficial use of drought-affected towns and communities most in need of water.

Proposals including a pipeline from QGC’s acreage to Toowoomba were raised after talks between Queensland Premier Anna Bligh and QGC Managing Director Richard Cottee.

Ms Bligh has asked for investigations and planning by the State Government to be fast-tracked to ensure the water will not be wasted. QGC, which will produce increasing volumes of water heading into full LNG production, has offered to continue to assist in the investigations process.
