The new crest gate system of the dam will be publicly unveiled on Wednesday and the word around town is that Wide Bay Water is rushing to have the logo (which is over 50 metres long!) painted on the dam to show off to media crews mid-week. How much this is costing us as rate payers is unknown, but having someone paint a 50 metre logo on to a spillway surely isn't cheap. Apparently a local business was awarded the contract at very short notice this morning and will be working non-stop to have it finished in time. I suppose Wide Bay Water thinks it's good to award such things on short notice to avoid possible public backlash that would otherwise stop such public fund wasting.

If you were living in Maryborough your rates would be at least 50% higher than they are in the Bay. A little prayer that all those Maryborough Councillors don't convince the others that their way is the right way may be in order. Thank God for little blessings Rosemary.
