Ms Bligh told ABC radio her reconsideration of introducing recycled water to the system in February 2009 was as a result of listening to people throughout the community.
"I talk to people in my 7/11 when I'm there shopping. I see people out on weekends, I've got friends and family," Ms Bligh said.
"I get out and about all the time, in the last few weeks I've been at public meetings about other matters where people have raised this.
"You would have to be living under a rock, I think, if you didn't know that people in southeast Queensland were talking about this - it's a hot topic."

Yes they are talking about this topic (processed sewage) now because up until a few weeks ago no one in the government or any-one in the media gave any indepth information to the people of Brisbane about it.
They had hoped to slide it in and hope the drought did not break but it did and the scare campaigne does not work now!
The people of Toowoomba were told that they would be out of water if they did not vote yes in the Poll in 2006 and guess what they have not run out yet and the new bores are on line now.
The Brisbane people have a little more information and they don't like Anna's idea of using the sewage system to source their water from.
