IT’S UP TO US
We could spend a great deal of money removing from our water the last molecule of a chemical that might cause us harm, only to find that we regularly consume significant quantities of it in our food.
Perhaps the money would be better spent on reducing risk in other areas of our lives — how do the risks from recycled water compare with those caused by food, alcohol, smoking or driving?
It is up to the community to decide where our money is best spent. When we are considering how we should be managing our water in the future it is important that we have accurate knowledge and a realistic perspective.
It’s pointless to spend all our money plastering up a pin-prick hole in one side of a bucket with million dollar notes if there is a gaping hole on the other side.
