Almost 93 per cent of readers who voted in The Courier’s online poll believed a glass filled with Narrabri’s town water was actually a beer.
On Tuesday, the two images pictured right were published on the front page. One glass contained town water and the other a beer.
Readers were asked to guess which was which.
Results showed 92.6 per cent
believed the glass filled with town water was the one containing the beer.
Only 5.9 per cent of voters guessed correctly.
Tuesday’s report has led to widespread discussion in the community about the water problem.
And while Narrabri residents call for something to be done about the problem, residents in Baan Baa are demanding their town be fitted with a town water supply.
Residents have been calling on authorities to build infrastructure there from as far back as 1912.
Residents held a meeting last week to determine what their next steps would be.
One option canvassed was to alert the national media to their situation.
