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.

ABC News:
Bligh searches for Cloncurry water solution
26 August 2008
Premier Anna Bligh says she hopes to find a solution to overcome the water shortage that is gripping Cloncurry in north-west Queensland.
Mayor Andrew Daniels says there is now less than 40 days of water left in the town's dam although bore water is being added to help extend the supply.
Councillor Daniels says untreated tap water in the town now is unfit for human consumption.
Ms Bligh says finding a solution could be tough.
"There is a lot of work occurring with relevant State Government departments and with the council at Cloncurry," she said.
"I will be holding a meeting this week with the local Member Betty Kiernan and relevant State Government agencies to pull that work together, so there are options being looked at, but there is no overnight solution.
"This is a very difficult circumstance for this council and I hope that we can resolve it quickly."
