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.
Toowoomba Regional Council - water charges:
posted by Concerned Ratepayer at 6:31 AM
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.

How come we have to pay for a pipeline when Brisbane and Gold Coast had pipelines built for them and their access cost did not skyrocket?
The only conclusion one can reach is that we have gutless wonders on our council or they are in bed with the government.

Yes but are they going to back date the increase?
If so what about people who have bought properties and settled on the old prices with water consumption.
The council didn't put much thought into this! But then again they never do.
