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.

Anna seems determined to send recycled waste water to Wivenhoe - unless water is spilling over the spillway? What about the temporary storage needed for flood mitigation?
On the SEQWater website you find the following: "Wivenhoe Dam (Lake Wivenhoe) is located on the Brisbane River in Esk Shire. Storage capacity for water supply (full supply level) is 1,165,000 megalitres, with a further capacity of 1,450,000 megalitres above full supply level (flood storage), for the temporary storage of flood waters."
