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.

Since when has the dubious Qld Water Commission been running this State? The Govt must really want this water to go into our drinking supplies but is hiding behind Elizabeth Nosworthy and her Committee so that they won't get the blame for it. In the minds of the people it is the Qld Govt who is making this dangerous decision
and they will go bigtime! It is not necessary to add this water to the dams as desalinated water wouold be quite acceptable, less expensive and not dangerousously unproved. The Govt must think the people of SoutH East Qld are stupid if they are trying to pull this stunt. At this stage nothing is any different to what they had before - recycled sewerage water into the dams at 40% by order of the Qld Water Commission, doing the bidding of the Govt - NOT INDEPENDENT. NO to drinking Recycled hospital waste, trade waste and human waste - NEVER.
