Paulie-AU did his thesis on this very issue. The problem with such a proposal is public perception. The majority of the general public don't want to drink treated effluent. This is quite ignorant of those who live in Qld (The Smart State - HA!) because Esk dump their treated effluent into the Brisbane River. It ends up in Wivenhoe Dam. We drink that. I imagine it's much the same in other states.Stuart Lamble said:There are places -- as Theo notes -- where tanks make sense. Suburbia is not amongst them. Better would be the government actually putting infrastructure in place to use the treated sewage out of Werribee and
other sewage plants; it's clean enough for a large number of purposes
currently filled with drinking quality water, after all ...
