GAB bores provide 50 years water for Toowoomba ...

Excerpt from WIN News:

Use Of Bores

26 November 2008

Toowoomba Regional Council has brought the first of five bores on-line from the Great Artesian Basin to supplement the City's water supply, until it's connected to the South East Water Grid early in twenty ten.

Three bores have now been drilled, with work on the fourth to commence next week.

And while the bores are being used as a stopgap measure, they'll continue to provide insurance for the city in an emergency.

The shelf life of the G.A.B. bores is estimated at up to 50 years.

The shelf life of a GAB bore is 50 years!

Why are they building a pipeline up a mountain to lift tons of water when they can take the same amount of water from the GAB until the rain fills the dams?

This money could and should be spent in getting the gas water.
