Excerpt from ABC News:

The Darling Downs city which rejected recycled water for drinking two years ago, has started pumping from the Great Artesian Basin to top up water supplies.
Councillor Paul Antonio says last week's storms only increased Toowoomba's combined dam levels to 11.5 per cent.
He says one of five emergency bores is now online.
"One bore is being drilled and tested and is awaiting a permanent installation, the second bore has been drilled and tested and is currently being pumped using temporary equipment into the Cooby dam," he said.
"The third bore has been drilled and air tested and all of these bores have proven to have good water and to have some ability to supply."

It proves we don't need to drink recycled sewerage water. There are other options such as the gas water and natural rain.
