Excerpt from ABC News:
Emergency bores to ease dam demand
30 September 2008
Toowoomba Regional Council is drilling emergency bores to take the pressure off the city's rapidly diminishing dams.
The combined level of the three dams that supply the Darling Downs city have fallen below 10 per cent, which is a new record low.
Deputy Mayor Paul Antonio says the bores will be capable of meeting half the city's water needs.
"We've drilled two, there's another three to be drilled in the not too distant future, the two that have been drilled are being tested," he said
"They're fine, the water's fine, everything's okay, and they'll begin to supply water into the system into Cooby Dam in the not too distant future."
