OT: (QLD) Pleas sign E-Petition to stop recycled sewerage, medical waste water etc in our drinking supply.

**Queenslanders are too stupid to breathe. ALL water is recycled. Every single molecule. The Queensland government will need to institute water recycling sooner or later. As will all the cities in Australia. May as well get used to it now.

That is indeed true that all water is recycled.

The problem is that if you had lived under the QLD state government's barely hidden incompetence and corruption at pretty much all levels, as well as the open contempt it shows to QLD citizens you would understand that this government couldn't be trusted to keep the maintenance and equipment and therefore the water quality up to standard. They already admit to not having technicians and specialists to maintain the infrastructure that's already there.

I also know a water treatment specialist, he has serious concerns about the heavy metals found in excrement, that are not able to be removed effectively.

Finally, with a government that couldn't even keep up basic health, ambulance, police (another government department absolutely riddled with corruption - right up to the crime commission) and other standards during the recent financial "boom years" when they were rolling in tax and stamp duty revenue - with the world now looking like its going into a depression, what hope have they got of providing even basic essential services with even less funds coming their way in the future ?

Of course, with all the drinking of bottled water, alcohol, soft drink, energy drinks these days that people seem to consume, it could be interesting to speculate on how much tap water the average person drinks anymore. debate how many people actually drink much tap water any more.

The best part about it is you should see the shit the push out upstream! I have done some work for treatment plants upstream and they are 10 times worse than what they are going to pump into wivenhoe. Guess what, you are already drinking shit water!

**Bullshit! The technology for removing heavy metals is well-known and easy enough to implement.

**I accept that you don't like your govenment. None of which matters. ALL state governments will need to look to water recycling very soon. What Queenslanders need to do is understand the very basic technology required to do that job. I have no faith that Queenslanders will be able to undstand such things. Given the utter nonsense you've just posted, it is abundantly clear that you have failed to do even basic research into the matter. You seem to be happy to parrot some red-neck claptrap however.

Of course, with all the drinking of bottled water, alcohol, soft drink, energy drinks these days that people seem to consume, it could be interesting to speculate on how much tap water the average person drinks anymore. debate how many people actually drink much tap water any more.

**That would be their choice. I consume my water direct from the tap. I fully expect the NSW government will commence water recycling very soon. I will, of course, support such moves because I have done the basic research into the matter. The NSW education system has prepared me for real life.

Look at it the other way round. The percentage of water that is drunk is tiny, most of it goes into toilets, showers, industry and gardens. What's the sense in treating it all to the enormously high standards required for drinking? There are plenty of places where the advice is to *not* drink the reticulated water, and bottled drinking water is available everywhere at very low prices.

Fully potable reticulated water is just one of the other anachronistic conveniences that we're going to have to get used to doing without.

You are worried about recycled water, but not fluoride?

I am very concerned about both , the immediate threat of recycled medicines is a serious concern as filtering drugs is near impossible .

**I, herewith, present a product of the Queensland education system (such as it is).

What a moron.

"filtering drugs is near impossible"

Where do you clowns get this stuff from?

bad example twevy , we so far have managed to keep you out of state with good success ALL water is recycled. in nature much better than humans manage Every

untrue As will all the cities in Australia. untrue you goose May as well

never

wrong you kiddy fiddling lowlife

been doing the mirror thing again sunshine ?

in the manner and form presented in the rycled medium it is at reasonable cost just so , read the government gazette sometime

see above you meatpole smoking failure

A man who can't contribute anything to the discussion without calling anyone not in full agreement with him some sort of retarded, uneducated red neck - even bringing up Joh (who left QLD politics over

20 years ago and is long forgotten by most) who has nothing to do with the current water or government situation. Im surprised that something about a "pedophile" hasnt been brought up yet.

Finally your infantile and repeated "Queensland bashing" comments are a bit rich when many of the moronic comments, and insults seen on this group for the past 7 years I have been reading it seem to come from anywhere but QLD. Would also like to point out, that in many parts of QLD, are significant numbers of former NSW and VIC residents, many who moved to QLD to retire.

**This has NOTHING to do with agreement or disagreement. It has everything to do with fact and common-sense.

**Let me remind you: YOU brought up the topic of some bogus, ill-conceived and just plain moronic petition. YOU brought that stupidity into the public domain.

Finally your infantile and repeated "Queensland bashing" comments are a bit rich when many of the moronic comments,

**Well, no. Only Queenslanders appear to be concerned about something the rest of the country has taken for granted. I suggest you talk to some of the people who have been using recycled water for the best part of a decade, BEFORE posting your inane requests to sign your silly petition.

**Indeed. I, of course, refer specifically to those who have been educated by the Queensland education system. Not those who have moved there from other states.

Sadly nature doesn't. There are some chemicals that humans are now creating that are just toxifying nature.

need to institute water

Unless we soon adopt the chinese solution of one child families, it is going to be reduce, reuse and recycle. Melbourne is about to start stealing water from farmers just to keep their porcelain throes flushing.

Find one where it is used for drinkng water please. That is the whole point.

Don't waste your time, he will just hit back with more of his insults to hide behind, that are of a "white trash" level anyway.

From the posts on here, I would question the standards of his educational system, particularly in relation to manners.

**One? I'll give you more than that:

**No. The whole point is that the OP failed to examine the reality of things. SE Qld is the fastest growing urban area in the nation. Water resources are rapidly being depleted. Some kind of water recycling MUST be introduced, or some of the population needs to be removed.

**You failed to do several things in your original post:

• You posted off topic.

• You failed to educate yourself adequately WRT state of the art water recycling systems.

• You assume that the majority of the Australian population is as dumb as Queenslanders. They're not. Most of the Australian population understands that recycling will be necessary, unless serious steps are made to control population growth and/or water usage.

Keep trying.

This jst a proposal and it has one major part of the system that no-one else has. Te drinking water component appears exceeding rare.

Nothing there.

says they have recycked water. light on details.

>

**No need. You asked for ONE example. I provided three.

**Read the date on the article. Also, note these words:

"Orange County began purifying sewer water in 1976..."

**Read the whole paper. Pay close attention to these words:

"For decades, the city of Windhoek in Namibia succeeded in stretching their limited potable water resources through strict water management, latterly including wastewater reclamation and direct potable reuse."

Seems clear enough. You are a product of the Queensland education system, right?

**Pay close attention to the following words:

"NEWater is the brand name given to reclaimed water produced by Singapore's public utilities. More specifically, it is treated wastewater (sewage) that has been purified using dual-membrane (via microfiltration and reverse osmosis) and ultraviolet technologies, in addition to conventional water treatment processes.

There are three NEWater factories, located at the Bedok, Kranji Water Reclamation Plants, and Seletar Water Reclamation Plant, producing about 20 million US gallons per day (0.9 m³/s). About 6% of this is used for indirect potable use, which contributes 1 % of Singapore's potable water requirements of 300 million US gallons per day (13 m³/s). The rest of the water is used at wafer fabrication plants and other non-potable applications in industries.

The fourth recycling plant, with a capacity of 32 million gallons per day opened in Ulu Pandan on 15 March 2007. With this new capacity coming on stream, NEWater can now meet 15 % of Singapore's water needs."

Again, clear enough to anyone with a reasonable education.
