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.

Bligh rejects recycled water 'scare mongering'
Queensland Premier Anna Bligh says it is scare mongering to suggest that recycled water will keep tourists away from the Gold Coast.
Treated waste water will be added to the Wivenhoe Dam next year, and some opponents say it will be disastrous for tourism on the coast.
Ms Bligh says the Gold Coast will not even get the recycled water unless the local Hinze Dam starts to dry up.
"I think it's unfortunate there's this sort of scare mongering happening about our recycled water program," she said.
"On the Gold Coast for example, they wouldn't be seeing any of the water out of Wivenhoe Dam unless the Hinze Dam was in such critical drought that they had no water at all.
"This program is safe, it will be a great addition to our water supply, and it will help ensure that we are drought-proof for the future."

If the gold Coast is not going to get the processed sewage and will take it's water from the Hinze Dam, I would like to know why they are on level 5 restrictions when they have a full dam????
This government can not be trusted because one of the Gold Coast councillors said that the people will never be told when it goes in as they will just do it!!
