The 4350water Blog highlights some of the issues relating to proposals for potable reuse in Toowoomba and South East Qld. 4350water blog looks at related political issues as well.
Recycled water must remain an option for Australia's cities, despite some associated risk, the National Water Commission says.

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.

This story shows that the NWC are scared witless that Anna Bligh and her government are going to make a "train wreck" of the recycled water issue and it will go away for a long long time.
For all thoes who can remember:-
Malcolm Turnbull told the Mayor of Toowoomba not to make a train wreck of her bid to introduce the same scheme.
We all know what happened there.
Can any-one tell us what happened to her or for that matter what she is doing these days?
Is it an important government job?
