A drinking water treatment policy scenario In order to meet the needs of an expanding population, in the context of a drought, a local council in Toowoomba, south east Queensland, Australia, had proposed the addition of a small percentage of recycled water to the potable supply. Their interest in this situation was ostensibly the assurance of a long-term supply of potable water. This scenario was chosen to suggest how not facilitating open debate between protagonists may have contributed to a lack of resolution. Engineers and social scientists alike were awaiting the outcome of this referendum as it represented a test of public opinion on water reuse for potable purposes. There were several towns in Australia that were considering water reuse for potable purposes dependent upon the outcome. The federal government had agreed to assist with funding if the public supported this use of recycled water.
