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.
Qu: Do you agree with the government putting recycled water into Wivenhoe dam if the dam levels are above 40%?

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.

Who would have thought - a magnificent victory for common sense - but let us not be fooled Anna still wants to make Qld the experiment - her backers are waiting for her to deliver

612 ABC - talking WATER from 8.30 am today.
Recycling waste water - how is it done?
Nov 19, 2008
Today, the Mornings programme is putting water in focus.
In particular, where we plan to get it from in the coming years.
And the issue of the new water grid, involving recycled and flouridated supply, will be up and running early next year.
And it's no less important today, despite rain falling across the city.
So what is the process of recycling waste water?
Field reporter Terri Begley visited one of Brisane's three advanced water treatment plants to get a closer look at the technology and how the seven step barrier system works.
