Expecting to need another water source by the end of next decade, Canberra's water authority is considering whether the city will need to supplement the drinking water supply with purified treated sewage water in the future.
Seems like something that’s better to have when you need it than otherwise, even if my natural instinct is to avoid treated sewage where possible. Luckily we’re in one of the better situations water wise (for an inland city) with the Cotter and Queanbeyan catchments providing pretty clean water along with the Murrumbidgee, but the population is growing pretty quickly so more options is better in the long run.
