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.
Perhaps a little optimistic to start with.

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.

Interesting comment made by Mr Mcfarlane on the WIN TV news to-night and that was to say that this petition was twice the size of the one done on the water poll. He failed to tell people that they used paid council staff and sent pages of the petition home with council employees to get their family members and friends to sign off on it.
By comparision the water petition was conducted by the average Joe and in the face of strong opposition from the council and Medea. With that one council staff were frighten to be seen signing off on it and had to resort to all sort of tactics to put a signature on it.
I wonder if Mcfarlane's office checked all the signatures on this petition as they did on the recycled water one?
We need the highway but we will get it only when the government sees that Groom is winnable for them and then they will make that promise to the people and not before.
