Congratulations, Casino! Casino is to represent Australia in an international competition after being voted as having the ‘best-tasting tap water in Australia’.
What I find particularly interesting is that Casino’s water is drawn from the Richmond River. It is then treated before being reticulated through the town water supply. Yet Casino is downstream of Kyogle, which returns its treated waste water to the Richmond River via Fairy Mount Creek.
So the best-tasting tap water in Australia is treated, recycled water – ‘toilet-to-tap’ as Ballina mayor Sharon Cadwallader and newly elected Councillor Rob from Lismore insist on calling it.
