... 59 per cent of respondents believed the water should come from residential sources only, with industrial and hospital effluent, known as trade waste, precluded.

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.

Maybe commonsense will prevail after all. This will mean a lot to all of those Toowoomba No voters who fought for this all along at great cost emotionally and financially.For instance,
what food preparation Company or Restaurant would use recycled sewerage,industrial & hospital waste water and expect to stay in business? No wonder there are no contracts signed. Peter Garrett MP has not even given consent to this plan yet anyway. I think heads will roll eventually.

Garrett's consent is not required.
