to speak. I apologize if this is

162
00:07:39,133 --> 00:07:40,133
the wrong form. I represent a local

163
00:07:40,133 --> 00:07:41,133
volunteer organization, we do cleanups

164
00:07:41,133 --> 00:07:43,133

165
00:07:43,133 --> 00:07:44,133
interest to the rockclimbing community.

166
00:07:44,133 --> 00:07:45,133
I was hoping

167
00:07:45,133 --> 00:07:46,133

168
00:07:46,133 --> 00:07:47,133

00:07:48,133 --> 00:07:50,133

171
00:07:50,133 --> 00:07:52,133
in the area

172
00:07:53,133 --> 00:07:54,133
for rockclimbing. We had begun a

173
00:07:54,133 --> 00:07:55,133
conversation with a former watershed

174
00:07:55,133 --> 00:07:56,133
manager but since his departure we

175
00:07:56,133 --> 00:07:58,133
had a

176
00:07:59,133 --> 00:08:01,133
real struggle starting those

177
00:08:01,133 --> 00:08:02,133
conversations so I just came here

178
00:08:02,133 --> 00:08:04,133
with the

179
00:08:05,133 --> 00:08:06,133
hope of finding a way

180
00:08:06,133 --> 00:08:08,133
to reserve those conversations with

181
00:08:08,133 --> 00:08:10,533
someone with the wssc.

182
00:08:11,133 --> 00:08:12,133

183
00:08:12,133 --> 00:08:14,133

198
00:08:42,133 --> 00:08:44,133
down so we don't have background noise

199
00:08:44,133 --> 00:08:46,133
and the caller ending

200
00:08:46,133 --> 00:08:47,133
in 7016 if you could please start

201
00:08:47,133 --> 00:08:49,133
with your

202
00:08:50,133 --> 00:08:53,733
name and county and you have

203
00:08:56,133 --> 00:08:58,133
three minutes.

204
00:09:08,133 --> 00:09:10,133
again, that's

205
00:09:11,133 --> 00:09:13,133
the caller ending

206
00:09:14,133 --> 00:09:16,133
in 7016.

207
00:09:20,133 --> 00:09:22,133
>> hello,

208
00:09:22,133 --> 00:09:23,133
montgomery county. Can you hear me?

209
00:09:23,133 --> 00:09:25,133
>>

210
00:09:26,133 --> 00:09:27,133
yes ma'am.

211
00:09:27,133 --> 00:09:29,133
go ahead. You have three minutes.

212
00:09:29,133 --> 00:09:31,133
>> okay thank you.

213
00:09:32,133 --> 00:09:34,133
the wssc decision

214
00:09:35,133 --> 00:09:36,133
to launch a smart meter program pilot

215
00:09:36,133 --> 00:09:38,133
program

216
00:09:38,133 --> 00:09:39,133
without fully informing customers

217
00:09:39,133 --> 00:09:40,133
of

218
00:09:40,133 --> 00:09:41,133
the health and safety information

219
00:09:41,133 --> 00:09:44,133
gathered by wssc on its own

220
00:09:44,133 --> 00:09:47,133
record is reckless. As a

221
00:09:47,133 --> 00:09:49,133
public

222
00:09:49,133 --> 00:09:50,133
utility wssc has a duty of full transparency

223
00:09:50,133 --> 00:09:52,133
when asking customers to

224
00:09:52,133 --> 00:09:53,133
participate in a program that may

225
00:09:53,133 --> 00:09:55,133
affect

226
00:09:56,133 --> 00:09:57,133
their health especially who

227
00:09:57,133 --> 00:10:00,733
absorb more of this radiation from

228
00:10:02,133 --> 00:10:04,533
smart meters. And more

229
00:10:05,133 --> 00:10:07,133
vulnerable. Without material

230
00:10:08,133 --> 00:10:11,133
information the public does not

231
00:10:11,133 --> 00:10:12,133
have the facts in order

232
00:10:12,133 --> 00:10:13,133
to make an informed decision and this

233
00:10:13,133 --> 00:10:14,133
raises serious governance concerns.

234
00:10:14,133 --> 00:10:16,133
the

235
00:10:17,133 --> 00:10:19,533
wssc smart meter website

236
00:10:20,133 --> 00:10:23,133
have misleading statements. They say

237
00:10:23,133 --> 00:10:25,533
that smart meters are

238
00:10:26,133 --> 00:10:29,733
not harmful. As I detailed in

239
00:10:31,133 --> 00:10:32,133
my publication frontiers of public

240
00:10:32,133 --> 00:10:33,133
health entitled u.s. Policy on wireless

241
00:10:33,133 --> 00:10:35,133
technologies

242
00:10:35,133 --> 00:10:36,133
and public health protection

243
00:10:36,133 --> 00:10:38,133
regulatory gaps in proposed reforms

244
00:10:38,133 --> 00:10:39,133
I show that despite scientific research

245
00:10:39,133 --> 00:10:40,133
documenting evidence for

246
00:10:40,133 --> 00:10:41,133
health risk there has been no review

247
00:10:41,133 --> 00:10:43,533
of the totality of

248
00:10:44,133 --> 00:10:46,533
the evidence by any

249
00:10:47,133 --> 00:10:50,133
federal agency. Certainly not the

250
00:10:50,133 --> 00:10:52,133
smart meters which

251
00:10:53,133 --> 00:10:54,133
emit short intense pulsed rf radiation

252
00:10:54,133 --> 00:10:56,133
in thousands

253
00:10:56,133 --> 00:10:58,133
of intense pulses

254
00:10:58,133 --> 00:10:59,133
a day. Compliance with limits does

255
00:10:59,133 --> 00:11:01,133
not

256
00:11:01,133 --> 00:11:02,133
ensure safety as these limits are

257
00:11:02,133 --> 00:11:04,133
outdated,

258
00:11:04,133 --> 00:11:07,133
indefensible and only protect against

259
00:11:08,133 --> 00:11:10,533
short-term exposure. Not the

260
00:11:11,133 --> 00:11:13,133
long-term exposures.

261
00:11:16,133 --> 00:11:17,133
even misleading post references on

262
00:11:17,133 --> 00:11:18,133
its webpage to the national cancer

263
00:11:18,133 --> 00:11:20,133
institute and

264
00:11:20,133 --> 00:11:21,133
american cancer

265
00:11:21,133 --> 00:11:23,133
society. Neither of which have scientifically

266
00:11:23,133 --> 00:11:24,133
reviewed the signs to make a safety

267
00:11:24,133 --> 00:11:26,133
determination. Nor the

268
00:11:26,133 --> 00:11:27,133
data on smart

269
00:11:27,133 --> 00:11:29,133
meters. I used that information showing

270
00:11:29,133 --> 00:11:31,133
letters

271
00:11:32,133 --> 00:11:35,133
from them in our lawsuit against

272
00:11:35,133 --> 00:11:37,533
the fcc in which

273
00:11:38,133 --> 00:11:39,133
we had a favorable ruling. Just a

274
00:11:39,133 --> 00:11:40,133
few

275
00:11:40,133 --> 00:11:41,133
years ago, dr. David carpenter director

276
00:11:41,133 --> 00:11:43,133
of the institute for

277
00:11:43,133 --> 00:11:44,133
health and environment at the university

278
00:11:44,133 --> 00:11:46,133
all of

279
00:11:47,133 --> 00:11:50,133
albany testified that there are significant

280
00:11:50,133 --> 00:11:52,133
health I associated

281
00:11:53,133 --> 00:11:55,133
with emitted by

282
00:11:59,133 --> 00:12:01,133
smart meters.

283
00:12:01,133 --> 00:12:02,133
read about the ever growing scientific

284
00:12:02,133 --> 00:12:04,133
evidence showing

285
00:12:05,133 --> 00:12:06,133
biological effects from cancer,

286
00:12:06,133 --> 00:12:08,133
cellular stress, increase in harmful

287
00:12:08,133 --> 00:12:10,133
free radicals,

288
00:12:11,133 --> 00:12:12,133
genetic damage, structural damages

289
00:12:12,133 --> 00:12:13,133
to

290
00:12:13,133 --> 00:12:14,133
the reproductive system, learning

291
00:12:14,133 --> 00:12:16,533
and memory deficits and

292
00:12:20,133 --> 00:12:22,133
neurological disorders. Further

293
00:12:22,133 --> 00:12:23,133
scientific research shows effects to

294
00:12:23,133 --> 00:12:24,133
plant and animal life especially bees

295
00:12:24,133 --> 00:12:25,133
and other insect

296
00:12:25,133 --> 00:12:27,133
pollinators. Wssc is failing to warn

297
00:12:27,133 --> 00:12:29,133
consumers in the

298
00:12:30,133 --> 00:12:32,133
private program about these

299
00:12:32,133 --> 00:12:33,133
health issues. They are failing to

300
00:12:33,133 --> 00:12:34,133
inform consumers

301
00:12:34,133 --> 00:12:37,733
about information on their own record

302
00:12:39,133 --> 00:12:41,133
and

303
00:12:42,133 --> 00:12:44,133
that this radiation is

304
00:12:44,133 --> 00:12:45,133
not safe. And my published paper I

305
00:12:45,133 --> 00:12:46,133
also documented how

306
00:12:46,133 --> 00:12:48,133
the wireless industry has followed

307
00:12:48,133 --> 00:12:50,133
the big

308
00:12:54,133 --> 00:12:56,133
tobacco playbook.

309
00:12:57,133 --> 00:12:59,133
>> you have hit

310
00:12:59,133 --> 00:13:00,133
your three minutes. If you could please

311
00:13:00,133 --> 00:13:01,133
conclude.

312
00:13:01,133 --> 00:13:03,133
>> sure. I built upon that

313
00:13:03,133 --> 00:13:05,133
in a harvard

314
00:13:06,133 --> 00:13:07,133
press book and I

315
00:13:07,133 --> 00:13:08,133
recommend everyone recommend that

316
00:13:08,133 --> 00:13:09,133
to understand what is going on. Wssc

317
00:13:09,133 --> 00:13:11,133
consumers deserve all

318
00:13:12,133 --> 00:13:15,133
the facts. Thank you so

319
00:13:15,133 --> 00:13:16,133
much.

320
00:13:16,133 --> 00:13:18,133
>> thank you ma'am. And

321
00:13:18,133 --> 00:13:19,133
chair

322
00:13:19,133 --> 00:13:21,133
smith, we do not have any other colors

323
00:13:21,133 --> 00:13:24,133
on the line at this time.

324
00:13:24,133 --> 00:13:26,133
>> thank

325
00:13:26,133 --> 00:13:27,133
you. And I want to thank all of our

326
00:13:27,133 --> 00:13:30,133
public speakers for their comments.

327
00:13:30,133 --> 00:13:32,133
I now recognize

328
00:13:32,133 --> 00:13:33,133
the general inspector general to present

329
00:13:33,133 --> 00:13:35,133
the monthly

330
00:13:39,133 --> 00:13:41,133
activity report.

331
00:13:48,133 --> 00:13:50,133
>> thank you and

332
00:13:52,133 --> 00:13:54,133
good morning. Good morning chair,

333
00:13:54,133 --> 00:13:56,133
vice chair, commissioners, corporate

334
00:13:56,133 --> 00:13:57,133
secretary and stakeholders. For the

335
00:13:57,133 --> 00:13:59,133
record, I

336
00:14:00,133 --> 00:14:02,533
am an inspector general,

337
00:14:03,133 --> 00:14:06,133
to help wssc water meet

338
00:14:06,133 --> 00:14:07,133
its

339
00:14:07,133 --> 00:14:09,133
objectives in a fiscally transparent,

340
00:14:09,133 --> 00:14:11,133
sustainable and ethically

341
00:14:12,133 --> 00:14:14,133
responsible manner by conducting

342
00:14:14,133 --> 00:14:15,133
independent audits, evaluation and

343
00:14:15,133 --> 00:14:17,133
investigations.

344
00:14:21,133 --> 00:14:22,133
into the

345
00:14:22,133 --> 00:14:24,133
effect and making evidence-based recommendations

346
00:14:24,133 --> 00:14:26,133
to promote efficiency

347
00:14:26,133 --> 00:14:27,133
and effectiveness. I am joined today by

348
00:14:27,133 --> 00:14:29,133
deputy assistant inspector general

349
00:14:29,133 --> 00:14:30,133
for audit, our pleasure to present

350
00:14:30,133 --> 00:14:31,133
the summary of activities

351
00:14:31,133 --> 00:14:33,133
for the office of inspector general

352
00:14:33,133 --> 00:14:35,533
for the month of

353
00:14:36,133 --> 00:14:38,133
january, 2026. I

354
00:14:39,133 --> 00:14:41,533
will focus on the

355
00:14:42,133 --> 00:14:43,133
oig audit activities

356
00:14:43,133 --> 00:14:45,133
in this slide, management action plans,

357
00:14:45,133 --> 00:14:47,133
system development

358
00:14:48,133 --> 00:14:51,133
charge status, waste, fraud and

359
00:14:51,133 --> 00:14:52,133
abuse training. In addition I

360
00:14:52,133 --> 00:14:54,133
will discuss professional development and

361
00:14:54,133 --> 00:14:56,133
peer

362
00:14:57,133 --> 00:14:59,133
review

363
00:14:59,133 --> 00:15:00,133
results. The oig activities dashboard

364
00:15:00,133 --> 00:15:02,133
highlights how

365
00:15:03,133 --> 00:15:05,133
the oig aligns

366
00:15:05,133 --> 00:15:06,133
with wssc's strategic priorities of

367
00:15:06,133 --> 00:15:08,133
affordability and

368
00:15:09,133 --> 00:15:11,133
financial viability

369
00:15:12,133 --> 00:15:14,133
and optimizing.

370
00:15:15,133 --> 00:15:18,133
we conduct our audits in three phases.

371
00:15:18,133 --> 00:15:19,133
planning phase in which

372
00:15:19,133 --> 00:15:21,133
we gain an understanding of the area

373
00:15:21,133 --> 00:15:23,133
which we

374
00:15:24,133 --> 00:15:25,133
will audit. We will plan in a more

375
00:15:25,133 --> 00:15:27,133
detailed steps

376
00:15:27,133 --> 00:15:29,133
to it take

377
00:15:29,133 --> 00:15:30,133
to achieve our audit objective. And

378
00:15:30,133 --> 00:15:32,133
the fieldwork phase

379
00:15:33,133 --> 00:15:34,133
we conduct testing,

380
00:15:34,133 --> 00:15:36,133
verify compliance with policies and

381
00:15:36,133 --> 00:15:38,133
procedures, and

382
00:15:39,133 --> 00:15:41,133
identify exceptions.

383
00:15:42,133 --> 00:15:43,133
observations findings and exceptions

384
00:15:43,133 --> 00:15:45,133
are

385
00:15:45,133 --> 00:15:47,133
communicated to the oddity throughout

386
00:15:47,133 --> 00:15:48,133
the engagement to ensure that we have

387
00:15:48,133 --> 00:15:50,533
all the details and

388
00:15:51,133 --> 00:15:53,133
information and

389
00:15:54,133 --> 00:15:56,133
is correct. The final phase is

390
00:15:56,133 --> 00:15:59,133
reporting where the auditor drafts

391
00:16:00,133 --> 00:16:03,133
a report with any observations or

392
00:16:03,133 --> 00:16:04,133
any issues

393
00:16:04,133 --> 00:16:07,133
identified. The discussion draft goes

394
00:16:09,133 --> 00:16:10,133
to referral review before submitted

395
00:16:10,133 --> 00:16:12,133
to wssc management for review and

396
00:16:12,133 --> 00:16:14,133
discussion. There

397
00:16:15,133 --> 00:16:18,133
is also always some overlap in

398
00:16:18,133 --> 00:16:20,133
these steps. This

399
00:16:21,133 --> 00:16:22,133
slide presents the current standard

400
00:16:22,133 --> 00:16:24,133
of

401
00:16:24,133 --> 00:16:27,133
our audit projects. There are three

402
00:16:27,133 --> 00:16:29,133
projects in the

403
00:16:30,133 --> 00:16:32,133
blue box,

404
00:16:32,133 --> 00:16:33,133
seven in the green box and fieldwork phase

405
00:16:33,133 --> 00:16:37,333
and one project in the yellow box

406
00:16:39,133 --> 00:16:41,133
reporting face.

407
00:16:45,133 --> 00:16:47,133
audit findings

408
00:16:48,133 --> 00:16:52,333
are rated as either high, medium or

409
00:16:53,133 --> 00:16:54,133
low risk. Critical control weaknesses

410
00:16:54,133 --> 00:16:55,133
such as exceptions

411
00:16:55,133 --> 00:16:57,133
to regulations, policies, procedures

412
00:16:57,133 --> 00:16:59,133
or

413
00:17:00,133 --> 00:17:01,133
rules. Medium are

414
00:17:01,133 --> 00:17:03,133
control deficiencies which impair

415
00:17:03,133 --> 00:17:05,133
the commission's ability to

416
00:17:05,133 --> 00:17:06,133
initiate, authorize, record, process

417
00:17:06,133 --> 00:17:08,133
or

418
00:17:09,133 --> 00:17:10,133
report data. Low risk findings

419
00:17:10,133 --> 00:17:12,133
are less certificate efficiency and

420
00:17:12,133 --> 00:17:14,133
effectiveness control

421
00:17:17,133 --> 00:17:18,133
enhancement matters. These categories

422
00:17:18,133 --> 00:17:20,133
are used

423
00:17:21,133 --> 00:17:24,133
as guidelines for auditors when

424
00:17:24,133 --> 00:17:26,133
determining risk.

425
00:17:26,133 --> 00:17:27,133
all of risk identified are based on

426
00:17:27,133 --> 00:17:29,133
the

427
00:17:30,133 --> 00:17:32,533
professional judgment. This slide

428
00:17:33,133 --> 00:17:35,133
illustrates the ratings

429
00:17:36,133 --> 00:17:39,133
of management open action plans

430
00:17:39,133 --> 00:17:41,533
for risk identified during

431
00:17:42,133 --> 00:17:43,133
our engagements. Management responsibility

432
00:17:43,133 --> 00:17:45,133
is

433
00:17:45,133 --> 00:17:47,533
to ensure that action

434
00:17:48,133 --> 00:17:50,533
plans mitigate and report

435
00:17:51,133 --> 00:17:53,133
risk, establish

436
00:17:53,133 --> 00:17:54,133
reasonable implementation and manage

437
00:17:54,133 --> 00:17:56,133
open or delinquent

438
00:17:57,133 --> 00:17:58,133
action plans. In total there are two

439
00:17:58,133 --> 00:18:00,133
action

440
00:18:00,133 --> 00:18:02,533
plans that are open,

441
00:18:03,133 --> 00:18:05,133
customer service and utility

442
00:18:05,133 --> 00:18:06,133
services department. The customer

443
00:18:06,133 --> 00:18:09,733
service action plan is due on

444
00:18:11,133 --> 00:18:12,133
february 28th and utility services

445
00:18:12,133 --> 00:18:15,133
action plan is due on

446
00:18:15,133 --> 00:18:16,133
august 31st. Both action plans have

447
00:18:16,133 --> 00:18:18,133
a medium

448
00:18:19,133 --> 00:18:20,133
risk rating. The oig verified

449
00:18:20,133 --> 00:18:24,333
and closed six action plans in january

450
00:18:25,133 --> 00:18:28,133
as illustrated in the green pie

451
00:18:28,133 --> 00:18:30,133
chart. Four action

452
00:18:31,133 --> 00:18:33,133
plans remain

453
00:18:34,133 --> 00:18:36,133
to be implanted.

454
00:18:37,133 --> 00:18:39,133
pending further oig

455
00:18:40,133 --> 00:18:42,133
verification. No

456
00:18:43,133 --> 00:18:46,133
action plans were implemented at

457
00:18:49,133 --> 00:18:51,133
this point. The next is system

458
00:18:51,133 --> 00:18:54,133
development charges. And system development

459
00:18:54,133 --> 00:18:56,133
charge status. In accordance with

460
00:18:56,133 --> 00:18:58,133
maryland law the oig reviews and approves

461
00:18:58,133 --> 00:19:00,133
actual cost

462
00:19:01,133 --> 00:19:03,133
be reimbursed for system

463
00:19:03,133 --> 00:19:04,133
development charges. We have one audit

464
00:19:04,133 --> 00:19:06,133
in progress,

465
00:19:07,133 --> 00:19:08,133
called retreat

466
00:19:08,133 --> 00:19:11,733
audit and there are two interactive

467
00:19:14,133 --> 00:19:16,133
audits remaining. And activist attributed

468
00:19:16,133 --> 00:19:18,533
to a lack of

469
00:19:19,133 --> 00:19:21,533
developer response after a

470
00:19:22,133 --> 00:19:24,533
full fiscal year of

471
00:19:25,133 --> 00:19:27,133
quarterly requests.

472
00:19:28,133 --> 00:19:30,133
this next

473
00:19:30,133 --> 00:19:31,133
slide is highlights wssc strategic priority

474
00:19:31,133 --> 00:19:33,133
of workforce development.

475
00:19:34,133 --> 00:19:37,733
and concerns waste, fraud and abuse

476
00:19:38,133 --> 00:19:41,133
trading. The oig conducts training

477
00:19:43,133 --> 00:19:44,133
to ensure that all employees are aware

478
00:19:44,133 --> 00:19:45,133
of

479
00:19:45,133 --> 00:19:46,133
how to report incidents of fraud,

480
00:19:46,133 --> 00:19:48,133
waste and abuse.

481
00:19:49,133 --> 00:19:52,133
the oig provided training to 19

482
00:19:55,133 --> 00:19:56,133
new employees

483
00:19:56,133 --> 00:19:58,133
during orientation on january 5th

484
00:19:58,133 --> 00:20:00,133
and

485
00:20:01,133 --> 00:20:03,133
january 20th. Oig

486
00:20:04,133 --> 00:20:05,133
professional development.

487
00:20:05,133 --> 00:20:07,133
the auditor recently became a certified

488
00:20:07,133 --> 00:20:09,133
fraud

489
00:20:10,133 --> 00:20:12,133
examiner. And we

490
00:20:16,133 --> 00:20:18,133
congratulate her.

491
00:20:19,133 --> 00:20:20,133
and my final

492
00:20:20,133 --> 00:20:22,133
slide I just want to report the commission

493
00:20:22,133 --> 00:20:24,133
and public

494
00:20:25,133 --> 00:20:27,133
our successful completion

495
00:20:28,133 --> 00:20:30,133
of the triangle

496
00:20:30,133 --> 00:20:31,133
peer review and the last couple weeks

497
00:20:31,133 --> 00:20:33,133
and the

498
00:20:34,133 --> 00:20:37,133
peer review covered the periods of

499
00:20:37,133 --> 00:20:39,133
2023

500
00:20:40,133 --> 00:20:43,133
to 2025. And happy to answer

501
00:20:45,133 --> 00:20:46,133
any questions.

502
00:20:46,133 --> 00:20:47,133
>> congratulations

503
00:20:47,133 --> 00:20:48,133
on passing your peer

504
00:20:48,133 --> 00:20:51,133
review. Any additional questions for

505
00:20:52,133 --> 00:20:53,133
the oig?

506
00:20:53,133 --> 00:20:55,133
>>

507
00:20:55,133 --> 00:20:58,133
thank you. I just had a

508
00:20:58,133 --> 00:21:01,133
quick question on I can't river

509
00:21:01,133 --> 00:21:04,133
what slide, but you were talking

510
00:21:04,133 --> 00:21:06,133
about a lack of developer

511
00:21:06,133 --> 00:21:07,133
response and that was inactive. Can

512
00:21:07,133 --> 00:21:09,133
you give some

513
00:21:10,133 --> 00:21:11,133
context to that? What will be the

514
00:21:11,133 --> 00:21:12,133
reason

515
00:21:12,133 --> 00:21:13,133
for the lack of response and why that

516
00:21:13,133 --> 00:21:15,133
would occur?

517
00:21:16,133 --> 00:21:18,133
>> may be that

518
00:21:18,133 --> 00:21:22,133
it's not, there may not be enough

519
00:21:22,133 --> 00:21:23,133
economic value to the developer. It

520
00:21:23,133 --> 00:21:25,133
may

521
00:21:25,133 --> 00:21:27,533
be that a variety

522
00:21:28,133 --> 00:21:29,133
of things, they are

523
00:21:29,133 --> 00:21:31,133
not responding so we really can't

524
00:21:31,133 --> 00:21:34,133
complete an audit. And we do

525
00:21:34,133 --> 00:21:37,133
keep those. It's not as if we walk

526
00:21:37,133 --> 00:21:40,133
away from them and they

527
00:21:40,133 --> 00:21:42,133
become inactive. They

528
00:21:42,133 --> 00:21:43,133
are kept and subject to be reopened

529
00:21:43,133 --> 00:21:45,133
for up to

530
00:21:46,133 --> 00:21:49,133
20 years. Plenty of time for

531
00:21:49,133 --> 00:21:51,133
developer to respond

532
00:21:52,133 --> 00:21:55,133
and reopen an audit if

533
00:21:55,133 --> 00:21:57,133
they wish.

534
00:21:58,133 --> 00:21:59,133
>>

535
00:21:59,133 --> 00:22:00,133
commissioner foster.

536
00:22:00,133 --> 00:22:01,133
>> do we reach

537
00:22:01,133 --> 00:22:02,133
out to them periodically?

538
00:22:02,133 --> 00:22:04,133
>> yes

539
00:22:04,133 --> 00:22:06,133
we do. Requesting

540
00:22:07,133 --> 00:22:09,133
additional information.

541
00:22:10,133 --> 00:22:12,133
and typically we get

542
00:22:12,133 --> 00:22:13,133
no response.

543
00:22:13,133 --> 00:22:14,133
>> so we are following

544
00:22:14,133 --> 00:22:16,133
up.

545
00:22:16,133 --> 00:22:18,533
>> yes. >> I think it

546
00:22:19,133 --> 00:22:22,133
might be or inspector general, it

547
00:22:22,133 --> 00:22:25,733
might be helpful for me and

548
00:22:26,133 --> 00:22:28,133
fellow commissioners, I'm sure they

549
00:22:28,133 --> 00:22:29,133
have been on there for a couple years.

550
00:22:29,133 --> 00:22:31,133
if maybe

551
00:22:34,133 --> 00:22:36,133
we add

552
00:22:37,133 --> 00:22:38,133
the length of

553
00:22:38,133 --> 00:22:40,133
an activity. One year, two years,

554
00:22:40,133 --> 00:22:42,133
five years. What

555
00:22:42,133 --> 00:22:43,133
have you.

556
00:22:43,133 --> 00:22:44,133
>> that's a good suggestion.

557
00:22:44,133 --> 00:22:46,133
thank

558
00:22:49,133 --> 00:22:50,133
you.

559
00:22:50,133 --> 00:22:52,133
>> I always go back

560
00:22:52,133 --> 00:22:55,133
to this to make sure I am

561
00:22:55,133 --> 00:22:57,533
understanding them. The management

562
00:22:58,133 --> 00:23:00,133
action plan. I

563
00:23:01,133 --> 00:23:05,333
am just trying to make sure I

564
00:23:07,133 --> 00:23:10,133
understand it. Action plans by department

565
00:23:10,133 --> 00:23:11,133
and rating. How do those fit into

566
00:23:11,133 --> 00:23:13,133
the

567
00:23:13,133 --> 00:23:15,133
larger pie

568
00:23:16,133 --> 00:23:17,133
chart?

569
00:23:17,133 --> 00:23:19,133
>> the two on

570
00:23:21,133 --> 00:23:22,133
the right. Action plans by department

571
00:23:22,133 --> 00:23:24,133
and

572
00:23:25,133 --> 00:23:26,133
rating.

573
00:23:26,133 --> 00:23:27,133
>> good

574
00:23:27,133 --> 00:23:28,133
morning everyone. For the record,

575
00:23:28,133 --> 00:23:30,533
dana wyatt. Deputy assistant

576
00:23:31,133 --> 00:23:33,133
inspector general for

577
00:23:33,133 --> 00:23:34,133
audit. They are two separate items.

578
00:23:34,133 --> 00:23:36,133
the chart on

579
00:23:37,133 --> 00:23:39,133
the right

580
00:23:39,133 --> 00:23:40,133
on open items in the chart on the

581
00:23:40,133 --> 00:23:43,133
left are the closed and implemented

582
00:23:43,133 --> 00:23:45,533
pending audit items. So

583
00:23:46,133 --> 00:23:48,133
the chart on

584
00:23:49,133 --> 00:23:52,133
the left we have verified

585
00:23:52,133 --> 00:23:54,133
those items.

586
00:23:58,133 --> 00:24:00,133
and validating that

587
00:24:00,133 --> 00:24:01,133
implementation. The other for the

588
00:24:01,133 --> 00:24:03,133
customer service

589
00:24:04,133 --> 00:24:07,133
one and resources are still pending.

590
00:24:07,133 --> 00:24:10,133
the chart on the right,

591
00:24:11,133 --> 00:24:12,133
management has not implemented

592
00:24:12,133 --> 00:24:14,133
or indicated that they have implemented

593
00:24:14,133 --> 00:24:16,133
those

594
00:24:17,133 --> 00:24:20,133
items as of january 31st. So it

595
00:24:20,133 --> 00:24:22,133
remains open until

596
00:24:23,133 --> 00:24:25,133
they do.

597
00:24:26,133 --> 00:24:28,133
no

598
00:24:29,133 --> 00:24:30,133
correlation.

599
00:24:30,133 --> 00:24:31,133
>> I did

600
00:24:31,133 --> 00:24:32,133
miss the last meeting but two meetings

601
00:24:32,133 --> 00:24:34,133
ago when we

602
00:24:35,133 --> 00:24:38,133
reported you had a different

603
00:24:38,133 --> 00:24:40,133
chart. So.

604
00:24:44,133 --> 00:24:46,133

00:24:46,133 --> 00:24:47,133

00:24:47,133 --> 00:24:49,533
>> all right mr. Wyatt.

>> bear with me. >>

608
00:24:53,133 --> 00:24:54,133
visuals are good. I just

609
00:24:54,133 --> 00:24:56,133
want to make sure I am understanding

610
00:24:56,133 --> 00:24:57,133
what they represent.

611
00:24:57,133 --> 00:24:58,133
>> I try my best.

612
00:24:58,133 --> 00:25:00,133
hopefully next month we will have,

613
00:25:00,133 --> 00:25:02,133
we are wrapping up a few items so

614
00:25:02,133 --> 00:25:04,533
there should be a

615
00:25:05,133 --> 00:25:07,133
lot more open

616
00:25:07,133 --> 00:25:08,133
action items.

617
00:25:08,133 --> 00:25:09,133
>> not a problem. I

618
00:25:09,133 --> 00:25:10,133
appreciate

619
00:25:10,133 --> 00:25:11,133
the information.

620
00:25:11,133 --> 00:25:13,133
>> thank you commissioner

621
00:25:14,133 --> 00:25:16,533

622
00:25:17,133 --> 00:25:18,133
thank you.

623
00:25:18,133 --> 00:25:20,133
>>

624
00:25:23,133 --> 00:25:25,133
thank you.

625

now we will have the

626
00:25:29,133 --> 00:25:31,133
corporate secretary

627
00:25:31,133 --> 00:25:32,133
monthly report.

628
00:25:32,133 --> 00:25:33,133
>> I don't have anything

629
00:25:33,133 --> 00:25:34,133
to

630
00:25:34,133 --> 00:25:35,133
add to my written report unless there

631
00:25:35,133 --> 00:25:37,133
are

632
00:25:38,133 --> 00:25:39,133
any questions.

633
00:25:39,133 --> 00:25:40,133
>> any

634
00:25:40,133 --> 00:25:41,133
questions for the corporate secretary

635
00:25:41,133 --> 00:25:43,133

00:25:50,133 --> 00:25:51,133
next item on the agenda. The

640
00:25:51,133 --> 00:25:53,133
ethics report. Are there any commissioner

641
00:25:53,133 --> 00:25:55,133
questions for the

642
00:25:55,133 --> 00:25:56,133
ethics officer on the monthly report

643
00:25:56,133 --> 00:25:59,133

written materials? Hearing done, we

645
00:26:02,133 --> 00:26:04,133
will move to

646
00:26:04,133 --> 00:26:05,133
the next item on the agenda. I now

647
00:26:05,133 --> 00:26:07,133
recognize general

648
00:26:07,133 --> 00:26:08,133

morning commissioners, madame corporate

654
00:26:17,133 --> 00:26:19,133
secretary, mr. Inspector

655
00:26:20,133 --> 00:26:22,533
general, to our customers

656
00:26:23,133 --> 00:26:26,133
and team h2o. I'm excited to

657
00:26:26,133 --> 00:26:27,133
give this report today, it's

658
00:26:27,133 --> 00:26:29,133
a little bit different, a little bit

659
00:26:29,133 --> 00:26:31,133
storytelling about this

660
00:26:32,133 --> 00:26:35,133
winter event that we just

661
00:26:38,133 --> 00:26:39,133
contended with. But this is february

662
00:26:39,133 --> 00:26:40,133
and

663
00:26:40,133 --> 00:26:41,133
it is black history month and this

664
00:26:41,133 --> 00:26:43,133
is a

665
00:26:43,133 --> 00:26:44,133
time to reflect on, learn from and

666
00:26:44,133 --> 00:26:46,133
engage with a

667
00:26:47,133 --> 00:26:50,133
history, contributions and lived experiences

668
00:26:50,133 --> 00:26:52,133
of black

669
00:26:53,133 --> 00:26:55,133
people including those like

670
00:26:55,133 --> 00:26:56,133
jesse jackson. And I want to remember

671
00:26:56,133 --> 00:26:58,133
the contributions that he

672
00:26:58,133 --> 00:26:59,133
made to this country, so many before

673
00:26:59,133 --> 00:27:00,133
him, so

674
00:27:00,133 --> 00:27:02,133
many after him and so many on team

675
00:27:02,133 --> 00:27:04,533
h2 o that are

676
00:27:06,133 --> 00:27:08,133
making history. As an organization

677
00:27:08,133 --> 00:27:10,533
grounded in our values

678
00:27:11,133 --> 00:27:12,133
to

679
00:27:12,133 --> 00:27:14,133
be just, caring, community focused,

680
00:27:14,133 --> 00:27:16,133
excellent and trustworthy, we

681
00:27:16,133 --> 00:27:17,133
know that different backgrounds and

682
00:27:17,133 --> 00:27:19,133
lived experiences

683
00:27:22,133 --> 00:27:23,133
make a stronger, more innovative and

684
00:27:23,133 --> 00:27:24,133
better able

685
00:27:24,133 --> 00:27:26,133
to care for our customers and communities.

686
00:27:26,133 --> 00:27:28,133
in recognition of

687
00:27:28,133 --> 00:27:29,133
this month we held a virtual lunch

688
00:27:29,133 --> 00:27:31,533
and learn on february

689
00:27:35,133 --> 00:27:37,133
4th with the emmy award-winning host

690
00:27:37,133 --> 00:27:38,133

691
00:27:38,133 --> 00:27:40,133
bird

692
00:27:40,133 --> 00:27:41,133
and the new york times best-selling

693
00:27:41,133 --> 00:27:43,133
author of

694
00:27:43,133 --> 00:27:44,133
better living through birding. I'm

695
00:27:44,133 --> 00:27:46,133
told

696
00:27:47,133 --> 00:27:49,133
it was a inspirational and

697
00:27:49,133 --> 00:27:50,133
educational event. Hosted by a gyro

698
00:27:50,133 --> 00:27:52,133
argument

699
00:27:53,133 --> 00:27:54,133
resource officers jasmine cooper.

700
00:27:54,133 --> 00:27:56,133
thank

701
00:27:56,133 --> 00:27:58,133
you

702
00:27:59,133 --> 00:28:01,133
to jasmine

703
00:28:02,133 --> 00:28:03,133
for

704
00:28:03,133 --> 00:28:05,133
always thinking outside the box for

705
00:28:05,133 --> 00:28:08,133
content to give us inspiration

706
00:28:11,133 --> 00:28:12,133
and education. We all know

707
00:28:12,133 --> 00:28:14,133
this is been a season of competitions

708
00:28:14,133 --> 00:28:15,133
so I'd like to turn your attention

709
00:28:15,133 --> 00:28:16,133
to

710
00:28:16,133 --> 00:28:17,133
the pictures on this slide as I tell

711
00:28:17,133 --> 00:28:19,133
you the story of team h2 osha

712
00:28:19,133 --> 00:28:20,133
pickup like champions during the recent

713
00:28:20,133 --> 00:28:22,133
stretch of

714
00:28:23,133 --> 00:28:25,533
winter weather. This was

715
00:28:26,133 --> 00:28:29,133
an all hands on deck effort

716
00:28:29,133 --> 00:28:31,133
across

717
00:28:31,133 --> 00:28:32,133
every department all unified in service

718
00:28:32,133 --> 00:28:35,133
to our customers. This wasn't your

719
00:28:35,133 --> 00:28:37,133
typical winter storm. As many will

720
00:28:37,133 --> 00:28:38,133
attest to. I like to think of it as

721
00:28:38,133 --> 00:28:40,133
our

722
00:28:41,133 --> 00:28:43,133
super bowl

723
00:28:44,133 --> 00:28:46,533
and nba all-star game

724
00:28:47,133 --> 00:28:50,733
and our winter olympics all in

725
00:28:51,133 --> 00:28:52,133
one. High-stakes, nonstop action and a

726
00:28:52,133 --> 00:28:53,133
team of professionals performing under

727
00:28:53,133 --> 00:28:55,133
pressure when it

728
00:28:58,133 --> 00:28:59,133
mattered most. Just like elite athletes

729
00:28:59,133 --> 00:29:02,133
preparing for the biggest stage our

730
00:29:02,133 --> 00:29:03,133
teams trained, planned, prepared and

731
00:29:03,133 --> 00:29:05,133
executed with precision

732
00:29:05,133 --> 00:29:08,133
to keep essential services running.

733
00:29:08,133 --> 00:29:09,133
from front-line breathing several

734
00:29:09,133 --> 00:29:11,133
inches

735
00:29:11,133 --> 00:29:13,533
of snow and dangerously

736
00:29:14,133 --> 00:29:17,133
cold temperatures to support staff

737
00:29:17,133 --> 00:29:19,133
working around the clock behind

738
00:29:19,133 --> 00:29:20,133
the scenes, every part of our organization

739
00:29:20,133 --> 00:29:22,533
moved as one team.

740
00:29:23,133 --> 00:29:25,133
these photos and the pictures on

741
00:29:25,133 --> 00:29:26,133
the following slides capture more

742
00:29:26,133 --> 00:29:28,133
than hard work.

743
00:29:29,133 --> 00:29:31,133
they capture collaboration,

744
00:29:32,133 --> 00:29:34,533
resilience and unwavering commission

745
00:29:35,133 --> 00:29:37,133
that defines

746
00:29:38,133 --> 00:29:41,133
team h2o. Well this prolonged

747
00:29:41,133 --> 00:29:42,133
weather event tested our systems it

748
00:29:42,133 --> 00:29:43,133
also showcased

749
00:29:43,133 --> 00:29:45,133
our strength. Our greatest strength,

750
00:29:45,133 --> 00:29:46,133
which is our

751
00:29:46,133 --> 00:29:48,133
people. And extreme conditions when

752
00:29:48,133 --> 00:29:50,133
our customers needed

753
00:29:51,133 --> 00:29:53,133
us most. Team h2o delivered

754
00:29:53,133 --> 00:29:54,133
literally delivered. Safely, professionally

755
00:29:54,133 --> 00:29:56,133
and

756
00:29:57,133 --> 00:29:59,133
with pride. This is

757
00:29:59,133 --> 00:30:00,133
a powerful reminder that behind every

758
00:30:00,133 --> 00:30:02,133
drop

759
00:30:03,133 --> 00:30:05,133
of water is a dedicated

760
00:30:05,133 --> 00:30:06,133
team willing to go above and beyond

761
00:30:06,133 --> 00:30:08,133
no matter what

762
00:30:09,133 --> 00:30:11,133
the condition

763
00:30:12,133 --> 00:30:14,133
spring. So you

764
00:30:15,133 --> 00:30:17,133
will see knowing that a major winter

765
00:30:17,133 --> 00:30:18,133
storm was approaching teams across

766
00:30:18,133 --> 00:30:19,133
the

767
00:30:19,133 --> 00:30:21,133
organization took early proactive

768
00:30:21,133 --> 00:30:23,133
steps to

769
00:30:24,133 --> 00:30:25,133
get ready, focusing on

770
00:30:25,133 --> 00:30:27,133
system preparedness before the first

771
00:30:27,133 --> 00:30:29,133
flakes fell. Our

772
00:30:29,133 --> 00:30:30,133
meter readers were in a great position.

773
00:30:30,133 --> 00:30:32,533
they were as close

774
00:30:33,133 --> 00:30:35,533
to on time as

775
00:30:36,133 --> 00:30:37,133
possible going into the storm. Our

776
00:30:37,133 --> 00:30:39,133
utility technician went into overdrive

777
00:30:39,133 --> 00:30:41,133
long before the

778
00:30:41,133 --> 00:30:42,133
snow hit, worked around the clock ahead of

779
00:30:42,133 --> 00:30:44,133
the

780
00:30:45,133 --> 00:30:47,133
storm to repair as

781
00:30:47,133 --> 00:30:50,133
many known water main breaks and leaks

782
00:30:50,133 --> 00:30:51,133
as possible. A heavy lift during an

783
00:30:51,133 --> 00:30:53,533
already demanding time of

784
00:30:54,133 --> 00:30:57,133
year. In the week leading up to

785
00:30:57,133 --> 00:30:59,133
the storm cruise

786
00:31:00,133 --> 00:31:01,133
repaired 84 breaks and

787
00:31:01,133 --> 00:31:03,133
leaks, given the work I had already

788
00:31:03,133 --> 00:31:04,133
accomplished

789
00:31:04,133 --> 00:31:06,133
this winter. November through february

790
00:31:06,133 --> 00:31:09,133
is our busiest time of year four breaks

791
00:31:09,133 --> 00:31:10,133
and leaks. They had already responded

792
00:31:10,133 --> 00:31:11,133
to

793
00:31:11,133 --> 00:31:12,133
approximately 900 before the storm

794
00:31:12,133 --> 00:31:14,133
started

795
00:31:15,133 --> 00:31:17,133
late saturday, january

796
00:31:18,133 --> 00:31:19,133
24th. Trucks

797
00:31:19,133 --> 00:31:21,133
to clear and treat our critical sites

798
00:31:21,133 --> 00:31:23,133
were also at the ready. So operations

799
00:31:23,133 --> 00:31:24,133
could continue without delay. We activated

800
00:31:24,133 --> 00:31:26,133
our image

801
00:31:27,133 --> 00:31:29,133
the

802
00:31:30,133 --> 00:31:33,133
operation center and a few

803
00:31:33,133 --> 00:31:35,533
hours before conditions started

804
00:31:36,133 --> 00:31:37,133
to deteriorate. From a fourth floor

805
00:31:37,133 --> 00:31:39,133
conference

806
00:31:39,133 --> 00:31:40,133
room in the support

807
00:31:40,133 --> 00:31:41,133
center directors and managers from

808
00:31:41,133 --> 00:31:44,733
across the organization were in gauged

809
00:31:45,133 --> 00:31:47,133
and connected in regular

810
00:31:47,133 --> 00:31:48,133
briefings, conditions and organizing

811
00:31:48,133 --> 00:31:50,133
responses

812
00:31:51,133 --> 00:31:53,533
in real-time including coordination

813
00:31:54,133 --> 00:31:57,133
with other utilities and the county

814
00:31:57,133 --> 00:31:58,133
and state emergency management teams.

815
00:31:58,133 --> 00:31:59,133
an

816
00:31:59,133 --> 00:32:00,133
incident command structure to court

817
00:32:00,133 --> 00:32:02,533
date all aspects of

818
00:32:03,133 --> 00:32:05,133
our response. Our team at

819
00:32:05,133 --> 00:32:06,133
the warehouse was also ready ahead

820
00:32:06,133 --> 00:32:07,133
of

821
00:32:07,133 --> 00:32:09,133
the storm. Critical cold-weather gear

822
00:32:09,133 --> 00:32:11,133
was

823
00:32:11,133 --> 00:32:12,133
stocked and ensure team h2o was as

824
00:32:12,133 --> 00:32:15,133
warm and safe as possible

825
00:32:15,133 --> 00:32:17,533
on the job. From

826
00:32:18,133 --> 00:32:20,133
snow cleats, vests

827
00:32:23,133 --> 00:32:24,133
and gloves to body warmers we were

828
00:32:24,133 --> 00:32:26,133
focused on employee safety

829
00:32:26,133 --> 00:32:27,133
from the start. And I want to thank

830
00:32:27,133 --> 00:32:30,133
the general service team for

831
00:32:30,133 --> 00:32:32,533
adding critical ppe to

832
00:32:33,133 --> 00:32:35,133
our

833
00:32:35,133 --> 00:32:36,133
uniform site for employees to get

834
00:32:36,133 --> 00:32:38,133
those

835
00:32:39,133 --> 00:32:41,133
warming best

836
00:32:42,133 --> 00:32:44,133
vest. Well in advance. Just

837
00:32:44,133 --> 00:32:45,133
thinking ahead. This is where the

838
00:32:45,133 --> 00:32:47,133
story

839
00:32:51,133 --> 00:32:53,133
gets good. When a

840
00:32:53,133 --> 00:32:56,133
critical shipment didn't arrive as

841
00:32:57,133 --> 00:32:59,133
planned corey material section manager

842
00:32:59,133 --> 00:33:00,133
stepped up, literally going the extra

843
00:33:00,133 --> 00:33:02,133
mile for

844
00:33:03,133 --> 00:33:06,133
the team. Corey hopped into

845
00:33:06,133 --> 00:33:08,133
his vehicle just hours before

846
00:33:08,133 --> 00:33:09,133
the storm, nobody told him to, and

847
00:33:09,133 --> 00:33:11,133
traveled 320

848
00:33:12,133 --> 00:33:13,133
miles round-trip to

849
00:33:13,133 --> 00:33:15,133
the granger distribution center in

850
00:33:15,133 --> 00:33:17,133
new jersey to

851
00:33:18,133 --> 00:33:20,133
secure

852
00:33:21,133 --> 00:33:23,133
nearly 300

853
00:33:24,133 --> 00:33:26,133
,

854
00:33:27,133 --> 00:33:30,133
my nose is running. Secure

855
00:33:30,133 --> 00:33:32,533
nearly 300 of these much-needed

856
00:33:33,133 --> 00:33:36,133
snow cleats. So you all better

857
00:33:36,133 --> 00:33:39,133
wear them. Even when it's

858
00:33:39,133 --> 00:33:41,133
not snowing. If not safe. And he didn't

859
00:33:41,133 --> 00:33:42,133
stop there. Corey delivered cleats

860
00:33:42,133 --> 00:33:44,133
right

861
00:33:45,133 --> 00:33:48,133
to the gaithersburg depots on his

862
00:33:48,133 --> 00:33:49,133
way home after dropping off the shipment

863
00:33:49,133 --> 00:33:51,133
when he

864
00:33:51,133 --> 00:33:53,133
got

865
00:33:54,133 --> 00:33:57,133
back to anacostia. Is corey

866
00:33:57,133 --> 00:33:59,133
here?

867
00:34:00,133 --> 00:34:02,133
please stand.

868
00:34:06,133 --> 00:34:08,133
and corey is

869
00:34:09,133 --> 00:34:12,133
typically quiet. But he spoke loudly

870
00:34:12,133 --> 00:34:13,133
that day. And in fact when we were

871
00:34:13,133 --> 00:34:15,133
in

872
00:34:15,133 --> 00:34:17,533
the eoc director pulled

873
00:34:21,133 --> 00:34:23,533
up the gps and

874
00:34:24,133 --> 00:34:26,133
tracked him coming

875
00:34:27,133 --> 00:34:30,133
back from jersey. He's back in

876
00:34:30,133 --> 00:34:31,133
maryland now. We tried to make sure

877
00:34:31,133 --> 00:34:33,133
he

878
00:34:33,133 --> 00:34:36,133
got back before it got. Oh

879
00:34:36,133 --> 00:34:38,133
my gosh. Now,

880
00:34:38,133 --> 00:34:39,133
getting the right gear to the right

881
00:34:39,133 --> 00:34:42,133
people is critical and so is having

882
00:34:42,133 --> 00:34:43,133
a fleet that is ready from the start.

883
00:34:43,133 --> 00:34:45,133
hats off

884
00:34:45,133 --> 00:34:48,133
to our nationally recognized fleet

885
00:34:48,133 --> 00:34:49,133
services team. They made sure our

886
00:34:49,133 --> 00:34:51,133
equipment was

887
00:34:51,133 --> 00:34:53,133
gassed up

888
00:34:53,133 --> 00:34:54,133
and ready to go. I will have more

889
00:34:54,133 --> 00:34:56,133
on their preventative

890
00:34:57,133 --> 00:34:58,133
efforts later in my presentation but

891
00:34:58,133 --> 00:34:59,133
suffice it to

892
00:34:59,133 --> 00:35:03,133
say garage staff was ready to handle

893
00:35:03,133 --> 00:35:05,133
the repairs.

894
00:35:05,133 --> 00:35:06,133
they were digging out vehicles after

895
00:35:06,133 --> 00:35:08,133
they were stuck in the

896
00:35:08,133 --> 00:35:09,133
snow to get them into the shop. They

897
00:35:09,133 --> 00:35:11,133
slept at

898
00:35:11,133 --> 00:35:12,133
the garage so we were staffed around

899
00:35:12,133 --> 00:35:14,133
the

900
00:35:15,133 --> 00:35:18,133
clock and helped with plowing at

901
00:35:18,133 --> 00:35:20,133
the depots. Truly a

902
00:35:20,133 --> 00:35:21,133
team effort. Anyone from general services

903
00:35:21,133 --> 00:35:23,133
here

904
00:35:27,133 --> 00:35:29,133
please stand.

905
00:35:33,133 --> 00:35:35,133
thank you. Snow

906
00:35:37,133 --> 00:35:39,133
was no problem.

907
00:35:39,133 --> 00:35:41,133
literally snow problem at all. Because

908
00:35:41,133 --> 00:35:43,133
general services was on it as the

909
00:35:43,133 --> 00:35:45,133
flakes turned

910
00:35:46,133 --> 00:35:47,133
into snow, works

911
00:35:47,133 --> 00:35:48,133
to ensure our facilities were plowed

912
00:35:48,133 --> 00:35:51,133
and maintained to keep employees moving

913
00:35:51,133 --> 00:35:55,133
out safely. And of course we are always

914
00:35:55,133 --> 00:35:56,133
here

915
00:35:56,133 --> 00:35:57,133
to help customer advocates who are

916
00:35:57,133 --> 00:35:58,133
always willing to meet our customers

917
00:35:58,133 --> 00:36:00,133
when

918
00:36:00,133 --> 00:36:04,333
they need it most. Literally got into

919
00:36:05,133 --> 00:36:07,133
the neighborhoods when snow packed

920
00:36:07,133 --> 00:36:09,133
streets made driving impossible,

921
00:36:09,133 --> 00:36:12,733
they walked. That is customer advocate

922
00:36:13,133 --> 00:36:14,133
walter guzman on the

923
00:36:14,133 --> 00:36:16,133
bottom left, the hill on the street

924
00:36:16,133 --> 00:36:17,133
was

925
00:36:17,133 --> 00:36:19,133
so snowpacked the van couldn't make

926
00:36:19,133 --> 00:36:21,133
it up so walter and david

927
00:36:21,133 --> 00:36:22,133
wilkins walked the street, walked

928
00:36:22,133 --> 00:36:24,133
to

929
00:36:25,133 --> 00:36:27,533
the hill to assist

930
00:36:31,133 --> 00:36:32,133
our customers.

931
00:36:32,133 --> 00:36:33,133
being there for the communities we

932
00:36:33,133 --> 00:36:34,133
serve no matter what the conditions

933
00:36:34,133 --> 00:36:36,133
are. And I'm

934
00:36:36,133 --> 00:36:39,733
not sure if our customer advocates

935
00:36:42,133 --> 00:36:43,133
are here. They are probably walking

936
00:36:43,133 --> 00:36:45,133
water to

937
00:36:46,133 --> 00:36:48,133
customers

938
00:36:49,133 --> 00:36:50,133
right now. While our advocates and

939
00:36:50,133 --> 00:36:51,133
other

940
00:36:51,133 --> 00:36:52,133
team members were out in the elements,

941
00:36:52,133 --> 00:36:55,133
plenty of other team numbers of

942
00:36:55,133 --> 00:36:58,133
team h2o were behind-the-scenes

943
00:37:00,133 --> 00:37:01,133
working diligently. Always on the

944
00:37:01,133 --> 00:37:03,133
frontline of

945
00:37:03,133 --> 00:37:04,133
our communications 24 seven from january

946
00:37:04,133 --> 00:37:06,133
25th to

947
00:37:06,133 --> 00:37:09,733
february 8th. The staff answered nearly

948
00:37:10,133 --> 00:37:12,133
10,000 calls always

949
00:37:12,133 --> 00:37:13,133
remaining responsive and customer

950
00:37:13,133 --> 00:37:15,133
focused.

951
00:37:16,133 --> 00:37:17,133
next door is our control

952
00:37:17,133 --> 00:37:19,133
center and our mission-critical operations.

953
00:37:19,133 --> 00:37:21,133
they never

954
00:37:22,133 --> 00:37:23,133
wavered. 24/7. While

955
00:37:23,133 --> 00:37:26,733
many people were sleeping, that team

956
00:37:28,133 --> 00:37:29,133
was vigilant

957
00:37:29,133 --> 00:37:30,133
watching every tank, monitoring water

958
00:37:30,133 --> 00:37:31,133
production, pressure zones and keeping

959
00:37:31,133 --> 00:37:33,133
our entire

960
00:37:34,133 --> 00:37:36,133
water system operational.

961
00:37:37,133 --> 00:37:38,133
and

962
00:37:38,133 --> 00:37:40,133
connected. With the potomac river

963
00:37:40,133 --> 00:37:41,133
as the

964
00:37:41,133 --> 00:37:43,133
source water for the vast majority

965
00:37:43,133 --> 00:37:45,133
of our customers all

966
00:37:45,133 --> 00:37:49,933
eyes were on the intake at our potomac

967
00:37:51,133 --> 00:37:52,133
water plant. To say we were constantly

968
00:37:52,133 --> 00:37:54,533
monitoring water production and

969
00:37:55,133 --> 00:37:56,133
demand is an understatement.

970
00:37:56,133 --> 00:37:57,133
the temperature continued to drop

971
00:37:57,133 --> 00:37:58,133
and we were entering into the next

972
00:37:58,133 --> 00:38:00,133
phase of

973
00:38:01,133 --> 00:38:04,133
the storm. Extreme cold. We

974
00:38:04,133 --> 00:38:05,133
know that an

975
00:38:05,133 --> 00:38:06,133
increase in water main breaks and

976
00:38:06,133 --> 00:38:07,133
beaks and we continue to share that

977
00:38:07,133 --> 00:38:09,133
with customers

978
00:38:09,133 --> 00:38:10,133
and stakeholders. For that reason

979
00:38:10,133 --> 00:38:12,133
the

980
00:38:15,133 --> 00:38:16,133
predicted increase we issued an essential water

981
00:38:16,133 --> 00:38:18,533
use only request for

982
00:38:19,133 --> 00:38:21,133
all customers on

983
00:38:22,133 --> 00:38:24,133
tuesday at

984
00:38:25,133 --> 00:38:26,133
11:15 a.m. Water

985
00:38:26,133 --> 00:38:27,133
demand was increasing at that affect

986
00:38:27,133 --> 00:38:28,133
our ability to keep storage tanks

987
00:38:28,133 --> 00:38:30,133
full and maintain

988
00:38:30,133 --> 00:38:31,133
required system pressure for customers

989
00:38:31,133 --> 00:38:33,133
and

990
00:38:34,133 --> 00:38:36,133
fire protection. Our customers

991
00:38:36,133 --> 00:38:37,133
responded with excellent conservation

992
00:38:37,133 --> 00:38:39,533
efforts helping to maintain

993
00:38:40,133 --> 00:38:42,133
system

994
00:38:42,133 --> 00:38:43,133
pressure and avoid a boil water advisory.

995
00:38:43,133 --> 00:38:45,133
so I

996
00:38:46,133 --> 00:38:47,133
wanted to recognize the production

997
00:38:47,133 --> 00:38:49,133
team including

998
00:38:49,133 --> 00:38:52,133
system control. Are any of

999
00:38:55,133 --> 00:38:58,133
you here? They are in

1000
00:39:01,133 --> 00:39:04,133
the center so from snow

1001
00:39:04,133 --> 00:39:04,133
to ice, take a look at

1002
00:39:04,133 --> 00:39:07,133
to ice, take a look at

1003
00:39:07,133 --> 00:39:07,133
these

1004
00:39:07,133 --> 00:39:08,133
these

1005
00:39:08,133 --> 00:39:08,133
side-by-side photos. This is a look

1006
00:39:08,133 --> 00:39:10,133
side-by-side photos. This is a look

1007
00:39:10,133 --> 00:39:10,133
at the potomac

1008
00:39:10,133 --> 00:39:12,133

1009
00:39:13,133 --> 00:39:13,133
intake plant. In the photo

1010
00:39:13,133 --> 00:39:15,133
intake plant. In the photo

1011
00:39:15,133 --> 00:39:15,133
on the left you can see with intake

1012
00:39:15,133 --> 00:39:16,133
on the left you can see with intake

1013
00:39:16,133 --> 00:39:16,133
like

1014
00:39:16,133 --> 00:39:18,133
like

1015
00:39:19,133 --> 00:39:19,133
last winter. Frozen

1016
00:39:19,133 --> 00:39:21,133
last winter. Frozen

1017
00:39:21,133 --> 00:39:21,133
solid ice. Obviously posing a challenge

1018
00:39:21,133 --> 00:39:22,133
solid ice. Obviously posing a challenge

1019
00:39:22,133 --> 00:39:22,133
for our team. Now

1020
00:39:22,133 --> 00:39:24,533
for our team. Now

1021
00:39:25,133 --> 00:39:25,133
fast-forward this

1022
00:39:25,133 --> 00:39:27,133
fast-forward this

1023
00:39:27,133 --> 00:39:27,133
winter and the intake is where we

1024
00:39:27,133 --> 00:39:28,133
winter and the intake is where we

1025
00:39:28,133 --> 00:39:28,133
pull water in from

1026
00:39:28,133 --> 00:39:30,533
pull water in from

1027
00:39:31,133 --> 00:39:31,133
the river. We have to pull into the

1028
00:39:31,133 --> 00:39:34,133
the river. We have to pull into the

1029
00:39:34,133 --> 00:39:34,133
plant before we can

1030
00:39:34,133 --> 00:39:36,133
plant before we can

1031
00:39:36,133 --> 00:39:36,133
treat it. This winter was a totally

1032
00:39:36,133 --> 00:39:40,133
treat it. This winter was a totally

1033
00:39:40,133 --> 00:39:40,133
different story. If you look at the

1034
00:39:40,133 --> 00:39:41,133
different story. If you look at the

on paying

6683
02:25:23,133 --> 02:25:23,133

last weekend.

6691
02:25:42,133 --> 02:25:42,133
it

6692
02:25:42,133 --> 02:25:44,133
it

6693
02:25:45,133 --> 02:25:45,133
occurred to me that customers calling

6694
02:25:45,133 --> 02:25:48,133
occurred to me that customers calling

6695
02:25:48,133 --> 02:25:48,133
to enroll their bill into promise

6696
02:25:48,133 --> 02:25:49,133
to enroll their bill into promise

6697
02:25:49,133 --> 02:25:49,133
pay, so

6698
02:25:49,133 --> 02:25:51,133
pay, so

6699
02:25:51,133 --> 02:25:51,133
they can have a

6700
02:25:51,133 --> 02:25:53,533
they can have a

6701
02:25:54,133 --> 02:25:54,133
monthly bill to pay that are

6702
02:25:54,133 --> 02:25:55,133
monthly bill to pay that are

6703
02:25:55,133 --> 02:25:55,133
in effect becoming delinquent because

6704
02:25:55,133 --> 02:25:57,133
in effect becoming delinquent because

6705
02:25:57,133 --> 02:25:57,133
they're not paying their whole

6706
02:25:57,133 --> 02:25:58,133
they're not paying their whole

6707
02:25:58,133 --> 02:25:58,133
bill on time. They're paying over

6708
02:25:58,133 --> 02:26:00,133
bill on time. They're paying over

6709
02:26:00,133 --> 02:26:00,133
the course of a couple months because

6710
02:26:00,133 --> 02:26:01,133
the course of a couple months because

6711
02:26:01,133 --> 02:26:01,133
they want to

6712
02:26:01,133 --> 02:26:03,133
they want to

6713
02:26:03,133 --> 02:26:03,133
pay a

6714
02:26:03,133 --> 02:26:05,133
pay a

6715
02:26:06,133 --> 02:26:06,133
monthly bill. So I think one of the

6716
02:26:06,133 --> 02:26:08,133
monthly bill. So I think one of the

6717
02:26:08,133 --> 02:26:08,133
things we'll try to achieve in this next

6718
02:26:08,133 --> 02:26:09,133
things we'll try to achieve in this next

6719
02:26:09,133 --> 02:26:09,133
month is to

6720
02:26:09,133 --> 02:26:11,133
month is to

6721
02:26:12,133 --> 02:26:12,133
look at the impact of the

6722
02:26:12,133 --> 02:26:15,133
look at the impact of the

6723
02:26:15,133 --> 02:26:15,133
promise pay payment plans on

6724
02:26:15,133 --> 02:26:18,133
promise pay payment plans on

6725
02:26:18,133 --> 02:26:18,133
the delinquency numbers. I think

6726
02:26:18,133 --> 02:26:20,133
the delinquency numbers. I think

6727
02:26:20,133 --> 02:26:20,133
that is incorporated in that and then

6728
02:26:20,133 --> 02:26:21,133
that is incorporated in that and then

6729
02:26:21,133 --> 02:26:21,133
try to figure

6730
02:26:21,133 --> 02:26:23,133
try to figure

6731
02:26:24,133 --> 02:26:24,133
out what's happening with those customers that

6732
02:26:24,133 --> 02:26:26,133
out what's happening with those customers that

6733
02:26:26,133 --> 02:26:26,133

02:26:33,133 --> 02:26:33,133
promise pay. Calling to pay your bill. Wanting

6740
02:26:33,133 --> 02:26:34,133

influence of that on those

6748
02:26:39,133 --> 02:26:42,133
influence of that on those

6749
02:26:45,133 --> 02:26:45,133

6751
02:26:46,133 --> 02:26:46,133

$715 million includes all three. If

6874
02:29:12,133 --> 02:29:13,133
$715 million includes all three. If

6875
02:29:13,133 --> 02:29:13,133
you look

6876
02:29:13,133 --> 02:29:15,133
you look

6877
02:29:16,133 --> 02:29:16,133
at the

6878
02:29:16,133 --> 02:29:18,133

budget alone,

6882
02:29:22,133 --> 02:29:24,133
budget alone,

6883
02:29:28,133 --> 02:29:28,133
that's $

6884
02:29:28,133 --> 02:29:30,133
that's $

6885
02:29:30,133 --> 02:29:30,133
592,046,000. Which is about 83% of

6886
02:29:30,133 --> 02:29:32,133
592,046,000. Which is about 83% of

6887
02:29:32,133 --> 02:29:32,133
the total. The approved expenditures

6888
02:29:32,133 --> 02:29:34,133
the total. The approved expenditures

6889
02:29:34,133 --> 02:29:34,133
so

6890
02:29:34,133 --> 02:29:36,133
so

6891
02:29:37,133 --> 02:29:37,133
far have been

6894
02:29:40,133 --> 02:29:42,133
$235,532,000. Which is about 40%

6895
02:29:43,133 --> 02:29:43,133
of the budget. And then

6896
02:29:43,133 --> 02:29:46,133
of the budget. And then

6897
02:29:46,133 --> 02:29:46,133
the expenditures for wssc water

6898
02:29:46,133 --> 02:29:48,133

you calculate the average burn rate

6916
02:30:06,133 --> 02:30:07,133
you calculate the average burn rate

6917
02:30:07,133 --> 02:30:07,133
just for

6918
02:30:07,133 --> 02:30:09,133
just for

deep

6961
02:31:07,133 --> 02:31:07,133
dive, we wanted

6962
02:31:07,133 --> 02:31:09,133
dive, we wanted

6963
02:31:09,133 --> 02:31:09,133
to identify some of the budgets that

6964
02:31:09,133 --> 02:31:13,133
to identify some of the budgets that

6965
02:31:13,133 --> 02:31:13,133
were originally in our budget. For

6966
02:31:13,133 --> 02:31:14,133
were originally in our budget. For

6967
02:31:14,133 --> 02:31:14,133
various

6968
02:31:14,133 --> 02:31:16,133
various

6969
02:31:16,133 --> 02:31:16,133
reasons we've not been able to

6970
02:31:16,133 --> 02:31:18,133
reasons we've not been able to

6971
02:31:18,133 --> 02:31:18,133
spend that budget. So one example is

6972
02:31:18,133 --> 02:31:19,133
spend that budget. So one example is

6973
02:31:19,133 --> 02:31:19,133

very top. The orange highlighted row. We

6979
02:31:26,133 --> 02:31:26,133
see

6980
02:31:26,133 --> 02:31:28,133
see

6981
02:31:28,133 --> 02:31:28,133
for

6982
02:31:28,133 --> 02:31:30,133
for

495/270 traffic

6987
02:31:40,133 --> 02:31:40,133
that was canceled. The

6988
02:31:40,133 --> 02:31:42,133
that was canceled. The

6989
02:31:42,133 --> 02:31:42,133
variance in spending is all that amount

6990
02:31:42,133 --> 02:31:43,133
variance in spending is all that amount

6991
02:31:43,133 --> 02:31:43,133
because that project was canceled. So

6992
02:31:43,133 --> 02:31:46,133
because that project was canceled. So

6993
02:31:46,133 --> 02:31:46,133
what we wanted to

6994
02:31:46,133 --> 02:31:48,533
what we wanted to

6995
02:31:49,133 --> 02:31:49,133
do with this

6996
02:31:49,133 --> 02:31:51,133
do with this

02:32:22,133 --> 02:32:24,133
13 million. And

7025
02:32:25,133 --> 02:32:25,133

7026
02:32:25,133 --> 02:32:27,533
for the management is

7027
02:32:28,133 --> 02:32:28,133
almost 6 million. Historically we've

7028
02:32:28,133 --> 02:32:30,533
almost 6 million. Historically we've

7029
02:32:31,133 --> 02:32:31,133
found there dc

7030
02:32:31,133 --> 02:32:33,133
found there dc

7031
02:32:33,133 --> 02:32:33,133
blue plains is pretty liberal in their

7032
02:32:33,133 --> 02:32:34,133
blue plains is pretty liberal in their

7033
02:32:34,133 --> 02:32:34,133
budgets

7034
02:32:34,133 --> 02:32:36,133
budgets

7035
02:32:37,133 --> 02:32:37,133
and they generally end up

7036
02:32:37,133 --> 02:32:39,133
and they generally end up

7037
02:32:39,133 --> 02:32:39,133
only spending maybe 50, maybe 60%

7038
02:32:39,133 --> 02:32:41,533
only spending maybe 50, maybe 60%

7039
02:32:43,133 --> 02:32:43,133
max in terms of what they're

7040
02:32:43,133 --> 02:32:45,133
max in terms of what they're

7041
02:32:45,133 --> 02:32:45,133
budgeting. So what we're doing is

7042
02:32:45,133 --> 02:32:46,133
budgeting. So what we're doing is

7043
02:32:46,133 --> 02:32:46,133
taking a little bit

7044
02:32:46,133 --> 02:32:48,533
taking a little bit

7045
02:32:49,133 --> 02:32:49,133
of a haircut in terms of their

02:32:49,133 --> 02:32:51,133
of a haircut in terms of their

7047
02:32:51,133 --> 02:32:51,133
budget. So that's not held against

7048
02:32:51,133 --> 02:32:52,133
budget. So that's not held against

7049
02:32:52,133 --> 02:32:52,133
us because that money

7050
02:32:52,133 --> 02:32:54,533
us because that money

7051
02:32:55,133 --> 02:32:55,133
is

7052
02:32:55,133 --> 02:32:57,133

of that project to expedite

7175
02:34:55,133 --> 02:34:55,133
the spending. These are basically

7176
02:34:55,133 --> 02:34:57,133
the spending. These are basically

7177
02:34:57,133 --> 02:34:57,133
projects on alert that we're watching

7178
02:34:57,133 --> 02:34:59,133

very closely to

7181
02:35:02,133 --> 02:35:02,133
see if we can find ways to

02:35:02,133 --> 02:35:04,133
see if we can find ways to

7183
02:35:04,133 --> 02:35:04,133
expedite them. The next page also

7184
02:35:04,133 --> 02:35:07,133
expedite them. The next page also

7185
02:35:07,133 --> 02:35:07,133
has some green projects. There's a

7186
02:35:07,133 --> 02:35:08,133
has some green projects. There's a

7187
02:35:08,133 --> 02:35:08,133
couple

more blue ones. The next blue one

7191
02:35:11,133 --> 02:35:11,133
is

7192
02:35:11,133 --> 02:35:13,133
is

7193
02:35:14,133 --> 02:35:14,133
the master planning. Facilities

7194
02:35:14,133 --> 02:35:16,533
the master planning. Facilities

7195
02:35:17,133 --> 02:35:17,133
planning program. And

7196
02:35:17,133 --> 02:35:19,133
planning program. And

7197
02:35:20,133 --> 02:35:20,133
that was

7198
02:35:20,133 --> 02:35:22,133
that was

7199
02:35:22,133 --> 02:35:22,133
liberally budgeted by wssc. We've

7200
02:35:22,133 --> 02:35:25,133
liberally budgeted by wssc. We've

7201
02:35:25,133 --> 02:35:25,133
recognized after the first year as

7202
02:35:25,133 --> 02:35:27,133
recognized after the first year as

7203
02:35:27,133 --> 02:35:27,133
well as looking at the scope going

7204
02:35:27,133 --> 02:35:29,133
well as looking at the scope going

7205
02:35:29,133 --> 02:35:29,133
forward doesn't appear we're

7206
02:35:29,133 --> 02:35:31,133
forward doesn't appear we're

7207
02:35:31,133 --> 02:35:31,133
going to need to expend all those

7208
02:35:31,133 --> 02:35:32,133
going to need to expend all those

7209
02:35:32,133 --> 02:35:32,133
funds that were budgeted

7210
02:35:32,133 --> 02:35:34,533
funds that were budgeted

7211
02:35:35,133 --> 02:35:35,133
for the master plan. So we're

7212
02:35:35,133 --> 02:35:38,133
for the master plan. So we're

7213
02:35:38,133 --> 02:35:38,133
taking

7214
02:35:38,133 --> 02:35:40,133
taking

7215
02:35:40,133 --> 02:35:40,133
that into account. Finally the other

7216
02:35:40,133 --> 02:35:43,133
that into account. Finally the other

7217
02:35:43,133 --> 02:35:43,133
blue program is a lead reduction program. And

7218
02:35:43,133 --> 02:35:44,133
blue program is a lead reduction program. And

7219
02:35:44,133 --> 02:35:44,133
the

7220
02:35:44,133 --> 02:35:46,133
the

7221
02:35:46,133 --> 02:35:46,133
fact that we're underspending is good

7222
02:35:46,133 --> 02:35:47,133
fact that we're underspending is good

7223
02:35:47,133 --> 02:35:47,133
news. Because what

7224
02:35:47,133 --> 02:35:49,133
news. Because what

7225
02:35:50,133 --> 02:35:50,133
that means is we're not

7226
02:35:50,133 --> 02:35:53,133
that means is we're not

7227
02:35:53,133 --> 02:35:53,133
finding as

7228
02:35:53,133 --> 02:35:55,133
finding as

7229
02:35:55,133 --> 02:35:55,133
many lead services that were in the database. So

7230
02:35:55,133 --> 02:35:56,133
many lead services that were in the database. So

7231
02:35:56,133 --> 02:35:56,133
that

7232
02:35:56,133 --> 02:35:58,133
that

7233
02:35:58,133 --> 02:35:58,133
means there's less construction work

7234
02:35:58,133 --> 02:36:01,133
means there's less construction work

7235
02:36:01,133 --> 02:36:01,133
needed and construction dollars that

7236
02:36:01,133 --> 02:36:02,133
needed and construction dollars that

7237
02:36:02,133 --> 02:36:02,133
will be

7238
02:36:02,133 --> 02:36:03,133
will be

02:36:32,133 --> 02:36:35,133
on the left hand column with the original

7265
02:36:35,133 --> 02:36:35,133
12 month budget. We've

7266
02:36:35,133 --> 02:36:37,133
12 month budget. We've

7267
02:36:38,133 --> 02:36:38,133
reduced or

7268
02:36:38,133 --> 02:36:40,133
reduced or

7269
02:36:41,133 --> 02:36:41,133
subtracted the approved

7270
02:36:41,133 --> 02:36:43,133
subtracted the approved

7271
02:36:43,133 --> 02:36:43,133
budgets for interjurisdictional agreements and

7272
02:36:43,133 --> 02:36:44,133
budgets for interjurisdictional agreements and

7273
02:36:44,133 --> 02:36:44,133
growth

7274
02:36:44,133 --> 02:36:46,133
growth

7275
02:36:46,133 --> 02:36:46,133
projects. We were subtracting the

7276
02:36:46,133 --> 02:36:49,133
projects. We were subtracting the

7277
02:36:49,133 --> 02:36:49,133
123. We're also subtracting the excessive

7278
02:36:49,133 --> 02:36:50,133
123. We're also subtracting the excessive

7279
02:36:50,133 --> 02:36:50,133
or excess

7280
02:36:50,133 --> 02:36:52,133
or excess

7281
02:36:53,133 --> 02:36:53,133
budget that we've identified in

7282
02:36:53,133 --> 02:36:56,133
budget that we've identified in

7283
02:36:56,133 --> 02:36:56,133
those projects I describe which is 65

7284
02:36:56,133 --> 02:36:59,133
those projects I describe which is 65

7285
02:36:59,133 --> 02:36:59,133
million. So we have an adjusted budget

7286
02:36:59,133 --> 02:37:02,133
million. So we have an adjusted budget

7287
02:37:02,133 --> 02:37:02,133
in the fourth

7288
02:37:02,133 --> 02:37:04,133
in the fourth

7289
02:37:05,133 --> 02:37:05,133
column of 526. For the

7290
02:37:05,133 --> 02:37:07,533
column of 526. For the

7291
02:37:08,133 --> 02:37:08,133
year. And then if you reduce it

7292
02:37:08,133 --> 02:37:11,133
year. And then if you reduce it

7293
02:37:11,133 --> 02:37:11,133
by 50% you

7294
02:37:11,133 --> 02:37:13,133
by 50% you

7295
02:37:13,133 --> 02:37:13,133
get 263. For a six month budget you compare

7296
02:37:13,133 --> 02:37:14,133
get 263. For a six month budget you compare

7297
02:37:14,133 --> 02:37:14,133
that to

7298
02:37:14,133 --> 02:37:16,133
that to

02:37:17,133 --> 02:37:17,133
our spend for just our projects

7300
02:37:17,133 --> 02:37:20,133
our spend for just our projects

7301
02:37:20,133 --> 02:37:20,133
that we control. 195. We get a

7302
02:37:20,133 --> 02:37:23,133
that we control. 195. We get a

7303
02:37:23,133 --> 02:37:23,133
percentage of 74%. Now where we

7304
02:37:23,133 --> 02:37:26,133

7305
02:37:26,133 --> 02:37:26,133
need to go is towards

7306
02:37:26,133 --> 02:37:28,133
need to go is towards

7307
02:37:28,133 --> 02:37:28,133
90. That's the metric that engineering

7308
02:37:28,133 --> 02:37:29,133
90. That's the metric that engineering

7309

02:48:33,133 --> 02:48:35,533
of sewer reconstruction projects

7931
02:48:36,133 --> 02:48:36,133
left to right. You can see we have

7932
02:48:36,133 --> 02:48:37,133
left to right. You can see we have

7933
02:48:37,133 --> 02:48:37,133
mileage goals. I

7934
02:48:37,133 --> 02:48:38,133
mileage goals. I

7935
02:48:38,133 --> 02:48:38,133
know the commissioners are aware of

7936
02:48:38,133 --> 02:48:39,133
know the commissioners are aware of

7937
02:48:39,133 --> 02:48:39,133
this. So we

7938
02:48:39,133 --> 02:48:41,133
this. So we

7939
02:48:42,133 --> 02:48:42,133
have mileage goals

7940
02:48:42,133 --> 02:48:44,133
have mileage goals

7941
02:48:45,133 --> 02:48:45,133
that we track. These

7942
02:48:45,133 --> 02:48:47,133
that we track. These

7943
02:48:47,133 --> 02:48:47,133
are actual mileage of infrastructure

7944
02:48:47,133 --> 02:48:48,133

02:48:48,133 --> 02:48:50,133
in the

7947
02:48:51,133 --> 02:48:51,133
ground. This is based on what's

7948
02:48:51,133 --> 02:48:54,133
ground. This is based on what's

7949
02:48:54,133 --> 02:48:54,133
happened in the field. So

7950
02:48:54,133 --> 02:48:57,133
happened in the field. So

7951
02:48:57,133 --> 02:48:57,133

here is that

7996
02:49:57,133 --> 02:49:59,133
here is that

7997
02:50:00,133 --> 02:50:00,133
we have

7998
02:50:00,133 --> 02:50:02,133
we have

7999
02:50:03,133 --> 02:50:03,133
identified a procurement process that

8000
02:50:03,133 --> 02:50:05,133
identified a procurement process that

8001
02:50:05,133 --> 02:50:05,133
definitely expedites the number of

8002
02:50:05,133 --> 02:50:06,133
definitely expedites the number of

8003
02:50:06,133 --> 02:50:06,133
projects that get

8004
02:50:06,133 --> 02:50:08,133
projects that get

8005
02:50:08,133 --> 02:50:08,133
through our procurement system faster

8006
02:50:08,133 --> 02:50:09,133
through our procurement system faster

8007
02:50:09,133 --> 02:50:09,133
and gives

8008
02:50:09,133 --> 02:50:11,133
and gives

8009
02:50:12,133 --> 02:50:12,133
us the ability to

8010
02:50:12,133 --> 02:50:14,533
us the ability to

8011
02:50:15,133 --> 02:50:15,133
award

8012
02:50:15,133 --> 02:50:17,133
award

8013
02:50:18,133 --> 02:50:18,133
contracts faster. That is the prequalification contracting

8014
02:50:18,133 --> 02:50:19,133
contracts faster. That is the prequalification contracting

8015
02:50:19,133 --> 02:50:19,133
approach

8016
02:50:19,133 --> 02:50:21,133
approach

8017
02:50:21,133 --> 02:50:21,133
where we advertise and we

8018
02:50:21,133 --> 02:50:24,133
where we advertise and we

8019
02:50:24,133 --> 02:50:24,133
get maybe 20, 30 firms. Maybe 40

8020
02:50:24,133 --> 02:50:26,133
get maybe 20, 30 firms. Maybe 40

8021
02:50:26,133 --> 02:50:26,133
firms that respond. And then from

8022
02:50:26,133 --> 02:50:29,733
firms that respond. And then from

8023
02:50:30,133 --> 02:50:30,133
that list of 30 or 40 we reduce it

8024
02:50:30,133 --> 02:50:31,133
that list of 30 or 40 we reduce it

8025
02:50:31,133 --> 02:50:31,133
down

8026
02:50:31,133 --> 02:50:33,133
down

8027
02:50:33,133 --> 02:50:33,133
to maybe half. Maybe 20 that

8028
02:50:33,133 --> 02:50:36,133
to maybe half. Maybe 20 that

8029
02:50:36,133 --> 02:50:36,133
are

8030
02:50:36,133 --> 02:50:37,133
are

8031
02:50:37,133 --> 02:50:37,133
all prequalified. To do this construction

8032
02:50:37,133 --> 02:50:39,133
all prequalified. To do this construction

8033
02:50:39,133 --> 02:50:39,133
work on our

8034
02:50:39,133 --> 02:50:41,133
work on our

8035
02:50:41,133 --> 02:50:41,133
sewer pipelines. And then when we

8036
02:50:41,133 --> 02:50:44,733
sewer pipelines. And then when we

8037
02:50:45,133 --> 02:50:45,133
have these designs completed and

8038
02:50:45,133 --> 02:50:48,133
have these designs completed and

8039
02:50:48,133 --> 02:50:48,133
we need a contractor on board to do

8040
02:50:48,133 --> 02:50:51,133
we need a contractor on board to do

8041
02:50:51,133 --> 02:50:51,133
the work we go to that prequalified 20

8042
02:50:51,133 --> 02:50:54,133
the work we go to that prequalified 20

8043
02:50:54,133 --> 02:50:54,133
list and say firm a

8044
02:50:54,133 --> 02:50:57,133
list and say firm a

8045
02:50:57,133 --> 02:50:57,133
we have this project, submit a proposal to

8046
02:50:57,133 --> 02:51:00,133
we have this project, submit a proposal to

8047
02:51:00,133 --> 02:51:00,133
do this project. There's no more proposals,

8048
02:51:00,133 --> 02:51:03,133
do this project. There's no more proposals,

8049
02:51:03,133 --> 02:51:03,133
if you will. It's

8050
02:51:03,133 --> 02:51:05,533
if you will. It's

8051
02:51:06,133 --> 02:51:06,133
basically pricing. There's no advertise. Not

8052
02:51:06,133 --> 02:51:07,133
basically pricing. There's no advertise. Not

8053
02:51:07,133 --> 02:51:07,133
a

8054
02:51:07,133 --> 02:51:09,133
a

8055
02:51:09,133 --> 02:51:09,133
lot of time lost in terms of

8056
02:51:09,133 --> 02:51:12,133
lot of time lost in terms of

8057
02:51:12,133 --> 02:51:12,133
securing that contractor. So that

8058
02:51:12,133 --> 02:51:13,133
securing that contractor. So that

8059
02:51:13,133 --> 02:51:13,133
process has

8060
02:51:13,133 --> 02:51:15,133
process has

8061
02:51:15,133 --> 02:51:15,133
been in place for maybe 6 months

8062
02:51:15,133 --> 02:51:18,133
been in place for maybe 6 months

8063
02:51:18,133 --> 02:51:18,133
or maybe a

8064
02:51:18,133 --> 02:51:20,133
or maybe a

8065
02:51:22,133 --> 02:51:22,133
bit more. We know it is

8066
02:51:22,133 --> 02:51:24,133
bit more. We know it is

8067
02:51:24,133 --> 02:51:24,133
increasing our ability to have more

8068
02:51:24,133 --> 02:51:26,133
increasing our ability to have more

8069
02:51:26,133 --> 02:51:26,133
projects in construction. I think

8070
02:51:26,133 --> 02:51:28,133
projects in construction. I think

8071
02:51:28,133 --> 02:51:28,133
the numbers

8072
02:51:28,133 --> 02:51:30,133
the numbers

8073
02:51:31,133 --> 02:51:31,133
if I'm not mistaken deputy

8074
02:51:31,133 --> 02:51:34,133
if I'm not mistaken deputy

8075
02:51:34,133 --> 02:51:34,133
chief is it 30? 32

8076
02:51:34,133 --> 02:51:36,133
chief is it 30? 32

8077
02:51:37,133 --> 02:51:37,133
or 36 projects

8078
02:51:37,133 --> 02:51:38,133
or 36 projects

8079
02:51:38,133 --> 02:51:38,133
were awarded in the first half of

8080
02:51:38,133 --> 02:51:40,133
were awarded in the first half of

8081
02:51:40,133 --> 02:51:40,133
the

8082
02:51:40,133 --> 02:51:41,133
the

8083
02:51:41,133 --> 02:51:41,133
year? Yeah. Yeah.

8084
02:51:41,133 --> 02:51:42,133
year? Yeah. Yeah.

8085
02:51:42,133 --> 02:51:42,133
>> around 30. >>

8086
02:51:42,133 --> 02:51:43,133
>> around 30. >>

8087
02:51:43,133 --> 02:51:43,133
right. So we hope to

8088
02:51:43,133 --> 02:51:46,133
right. So we hope to

8089
02:51:46,133 --> 02:51:46,133
pick up the pace. Same thing

8090
02:51:46,133 --> 02:51:49,133
pick up the pace. Same thing

8091
02:51:49,133 --> 02:51:49,133
on

8092
02:51:49,133 --> 02:51:51,133
on

8093
02:51:51,133 --> 02:51:51,133
the sewer reconstruction program. On

8094
02:51:51,133 --> 02:51:52,133
the sewer reconstruction program. On

8095
02:51:52,133 --> 02:51:52,133
the water

8096
02:51:52,133 --> 02:51:54,133
the water

8097
02:51:55,133 --> 02:51:55,133
programs we are looking well,

8098
02:51:55,133 --> 02:51:58,133
programs we are looking well,

8099
02:51:58,133 --> 02:51:58,133
in

8100
02:51:58,133 --> 02:52:00,133
in

8101
02:52:00,133 --> 02:52:00,133
good shape. Again, the 15.95 miles completed versus

8102
02:52:00,133 --> 02:52:04,133
good shape. Again, the 15.95 miles completed versus

8103
02:52:04,133 --> 02:52:04,133
18 and the

8104
02:52:04,133 --> 02:52:06,133
18 and the

8105
02:52:07,133 --> 02:52:07,133
4.17 versus 4, that's going

8106
02:52:07,133 --> 02:52:08,133
4.17 versus 4, that's going

8107
02:52:08,133 --> 02:52:08,133
well. We're not going to change anything

8108
02:52:08,133 --> 02:52:09,133
well. We're not going to change anything

8109
02:52:09,133 --> 02:52:09,133
we're doing on the water side in it

8110
02:52:09,133 --> 02:52:13,133
we're doing on the water side in it

8111
02:52:13,133 --> 02:52:13,133
terms of the procurement and

8112
02:52:13,133 --> 02:52:14,133
terms of the procurement and

8113
02:52:14,133 --> 02:52:14,133
awarding of those contracts. Securing

8114
02:52:14,133 --> 02:52:16,133
awarding of those contracts. Securing

8115
02:52:16,133 --> 02:52:16,133
contractors. Things are

8116
02:52:16,133 --> 02:52:18,133
contractors. Things are

8117
02:52:18,133 --> 02:52:18,133
going well. So our focus is mainly

8118
02:52:18,133 --> 02:52:19,133
going well. So our focus is mainly

8119
02:52:19,133 --> 02:52:19,133
on

8120
02:52:19,133 --> 02:52:21,133
on

8121
02:52:22,133 --> 02:52:22,133
the sewer side. Likewise on the

8122
02:52:22,133 --> 02:52:25,133
the sewer side. Likewise on the

8123
02:52:25,133 --> 02:52:25,133
construction, we are for the

8124
02:52:25,133 --> 02:52:27,133
construction, we are for the

8125
02:52:27,133 --> 02:52:27,133
distribution system we're doing well

8126
02:52:27,133 --> 02:52:30,133
distribution system we're doing well

8127
02:52:30,133 --> 02:52:30,133
at 16.31 versus 27. We need to pick

8128
02:52:30,133 --> 02:52:33,733
at 16.31 versus 27. We need to pick

8129
02:52:34,133 --> 02:52:34,133
up on the transmission

8130
02:52:34,133 --> 02:52:36,133
up on the transmission

8131
02:52:36,133 --> 02:52:36,133
water construction program. We're

8132
02:52:36,133 --> 02:52:37,133
water construction program. We're

8133
02:52:37,133 --> 02:52:37,133
.71

8134
02:52:37,133 --> 02:52:38,133
.71

8135
02:52:38,133 --> 02:52:38,133
versus 5. And again, that has to do

8136
02:52:38,133 --> 02:52:40,133
versus 5. And again, that has to do

8137
02:52:40,133 --> 02:52:40,133
with the size

8138
02:52:40,133 --> 02:52:42,133
with the size

8139
02:52:43,133 --> 02:52:43,133
of those

8140
02:52:43,133 --> 02:52:45,133
of those

8141
02:52:46,133 --> 02:52:46,133
reconstruction transmission

8142
02:52:46,133 --> 02:52:48,133
reconstruction transmission

8143
02:52:49,133 --> 02:52:49,133
water programs. And the

8144
02:52:49,133 --> 02:52:51,533
water programs. And the

8145
02:52:52,133 --> 02:52:52,133
construction scopes generally require a

8146
02:52:52,133 --> 02:52:55,133
construction scopes generally require a

8147
02:52:55,133 --> 02:52:55,133
very

8148
02:52:55,133 --> 02:52:57,133
very

8149
02:52:57,133 --> 02:52:57,133
--a larger prime contractor. That's what

8150
02:52:57,133 --> 02:52:58,133
--a larger prime contractor. That's what

8151
02:52:58,133 --> 02:52:58,133
we --that's

8152
02:52:58,133 --> 02:53:00,133
we --that's

8153
02:53:00,133 --> 02:53:00,133
the only thing we're trying to do

8154
02:53:00,133 --> 02:53:01,133
the only thing we're trying to do

8155
02:53:01,133 --> 02:53:01,133
is attract more. But

8156
02:53:01,133 --> 02:53:02,133
is attract more. But

8157
02:53:02,133 --> 02:53:02,133
I think we'll be able to pick up the

8158
02:53:02,133 --> 02:53:04,133
I think we'll be able to pick up the

8159
02:53:04,133 --> 02:53:04,133
pace

8160
02:53:04,133 --> 02:53:06,133

your previous methodologies. You know

8183

8331
02:55:55,133 --> 02:55:55,133

02:56:45,133 --> 02:56:46,133
really enjoy this expanded facility because it's

8371
02:56:46,133 --> 02:56:46,133
going to be able

8372

lot more productivity.

8376
02:56:50,133 --> 02:56:52,133
lot more productivity.

8377
02:57:04,133 --> 02:57:04,133
one of 64

8378
02:57:04,133 --> 02:57:06,133
one of 64

hour water

8381
02:57:10,133 --> 02:57:10,133
storage tanks. These projects touch a lot

8382
02:57:10,133 --> 02:57:11,133
storage tanks. These projects touch a lot

8383
02:57:11,133 --> 02:57:11,133
of the community, because

8384
02:57:11,133 --> 02:57:12,133
of the community, because

02:57:12,133 --> 02:57:13,133
they are spread out and they are visible.

8387
02:57:13,133 --> 02:57:13,133
and in some cases they are

8388
02:57:13,133 --> 02:57:16,133
and in some cases they are

8389
02:57:16,133 --> 02:57:16,133
very proximate to

8390
02:57:16,133 --> 02:57:18,133
very proximate to

02:58:37,133 --> 02:58:37,133
of facility plans that

8460
02:58:37,133 --> 02:58:39,533
of facility plans that

8461
02:58:40,133 --> 02:58:40,133
will then feed into

8462
02:58:40,133 --> 02:58:42,533
will then feed into

8463
02:58:43,133 --> 02:58:43,133
the future capital improvement program

8464
02:58:43,133 --> 02:58:44,133
the future capital improvement program

8465
02:58:44,133 --> 02:58:44,133
so as we

8466
02:58:44,133 --> 02:58:45,133
so as we

8467
02:58:45,133 --> 02:58:45,133
said before, we are looking ahead.

8468
02:58:45,133 --> 02:58:46,133
said before, we are looking ahead.

8469
02:58:46,133 --> 02:58:46,133
we don't want to

be

8472
02:58:49,133 --> 02:58:51,133
be

8473
02:58:51,133 --> 02:58:51,133
caught. And surprised about some of

8474
02:58:51,133 --> 02:58:52,133
caught. And surprised about some of

8475
02:58:52,133 --> 02:58:52,133
the needs that

8476
02:58:52,133 --> 02:58:54,133
the needs that

8477
02:58:55,133 --> 02:58:55,133
we have for our system.

8478
02:58:55,133 --> 02:58:58,133
we have for our system.

8479
02:59:01,133 --> 02:59:01,133
so this is going to generate a good

8480
02:59:01,133 --> 02:59:02,133
so this is going to generate a good

8481
02:59:02,133 --> 02:59:02,133
deal of insight

8482
02:59:02,133 --> 02:59:03,133
deal of insight

8483
02:59:03,133 --> 02:59:03,133
into what our future requirement is

8484
02:59:03,133 --> 02:59:04,133
into what our future requirement is

8485
02:59:04,133 --> 02:59:04,133
going to be. We are about a year

8486
02:59:04,133 --> 02:59:06,133
going to be. We are about a year

8487
02:59:06,133 --> 02:59:06,133
into this. And then the last one I

8488
02:59:06,133 --> 02:59:07,133
into this. And then the last one I

8489
02:59:07,133 --> 02:59:07,133
wanted to mention is the

8490
02:59:07,133 --> 02:59:10,133
wanted to mention is the

8491
02:59:10,133 --> 02:59:10,133
lead reduction program. We are finding a lot

8492
02:59:10,133 --> 02:59:13,133
lead reduction program. We are finding a lot

8493
02:59:13,133 --> 02:59:13,133
less led in the

8494
02:59:13,133 --> 02:59:15,533
less led in the

8495
02:59:16,133 --> 02:59:16,133
system, thank god.

8496
02:59:16,133 --> 02:59:18,133
system, thank god.

8497
02:59:18,133 --> 02:59:18,133
so we are going to have reductions

8498
02:59:18,133 --> 02:59:19,133
so we are going to have reductions

8499
02:59:19,133 --> 02:59:19,133
in this program but we

8500
02:59:19,133 --> 02:59:22,133
in this program but we

8501
02:59:22,133 --> 02:59:22,133
are

8502
02:59:22,133 --> 02:59:24,133
are

8503
02:59:24,133 --> 02:59:24,133
being vigilant in terms of adhering

8504
02:59:24,133 --> 02:59:25,133
being vigilant in terms of adhering

8505
02:59:25,133 --> 02:59:25,133
to the federal requirements

8506
02:59:25,133 --> 02:59:27,533
to the federal requirements

8507
02:59:28,133 --> 02:59:28,133
for the programs and so we don't want

8508
02:59:28,133 --> 02:59:31,133
for the programs and so we don't want

8509
02:59:31,133 --> 02:59:31,133
this to get into a

8510
02:59:31,133 --> 02:59:33,133
this to get into a

8511
02:59:33,133 --> 02:59:33,133
situation where we are struggling

8512
02:59:33,133 --> 02:59:34,133
situation where we are struggling

8513
02:59:34,133 --> 02:59:34,133
because there's

8514
02:59:34,133 --> 02:59:36,133
because there's

8515
02:59:37,133 --> 02:59:37,133
too much lead in

8516
02:59:37,133 --> 02:59:39,533
too much lead in

8517
02:59:40,133 --> 02:59:40,133
the communities. And finally, I want

8518
02:59:40,133 --> 02:59:41,133
the communities. And finally, I want

8519
02:59:41,133 --> 02:59:41,133
to go to vendor

8520
02:59:41,133 --> 02:59:43,533
to go to vendor

so with that I'm going to start

9015
03:09:17,133 --> 03:09:17,133
by saying we are talking about water

9016
03:09:17,133 --> 03:09:18,133
by saying we are talking about water

9017
03:09:18,133 --> 03:09:18,133
supply, it seems like there is water

9018
03:09:18,133 --> 03:09:20,133
supply, it seems like there is water

9019
03:09:20,133 --> 03:09:20,133
everywhere. Between the icemelt and

9020
03:09:20,133 --> 03:09:21,133
everywhere. Between the icemelt and

9021
03:09:21,133 --> 03:09:21,133
all of the

9022
03:09:21,133 --> 03:09:22,133
all of the

9023
03:09:22,133 --> 03:09:22,133
snow that we've had recently. But

9024
03:09:22,133 --> 03:09:24,133
snow that we've had recently. But

9025
03:09:24,133 --> 03:09:24,133
we are in a

we are in a

9027
03:09:27,133 --> 03:09:27,133
very dry time and we have

9028
03:09:27,133 --> 03:09:30,133
very dry time and we have

9029
03:09:30,133 --> 03:09:30,133
been for a couple of years. So we

9030
03:09:30,133 --> 03:09:32,133
been for a couple of years. So we

9031
03:09:32,133 --> 03:09:32,133
are hoping this helps, we are about

9032
03:09:32,133 --> 03:09:33,133
are hoping this helps, we are about

9033
03:09:33,133 --> 03:09:33,133
an eight

inch deficit in the potomac river

9037
03:09:39,133 --> 03:09:39,133
since august for rainfall and we would

9038
03:09:39,133 --> 03:09:40,133
since august for rainfall and we would

9039
03:09:40,133 --> 03:09:40,133

have. So there is rain in the forecast,

9043
03:09:45,133 --> 03:09:45,133
I keep crossing

9044
03:09:45,133 --> 03:09:47,133
I keep crossing

9045
03:09:47,133 --> 03:09:47,133
my fingers but we are in a drought

9046
03:09:47,133 --> 03:09:48,133
my fingers but we are in a drought

for a couple of years. We

9051
03:09:54,133 --> 03:09:54,133
had saved here and there with rainfall

9052

but generally speaking pretty

9055
03:09:59,133 --> 03:09:59,133
dry. Many of the areas draining our

9067
03:10:09,133 --> 03:10:09,133
around but just to

03:10:10,133 --> 03:10:10,133
provide the context it's a really

03:10:11,133 --> 03:10:11,133
timely conversation to be talking

9072
03:10:11,133 --> 03:10:12,133
timely conversation to be talking

9073
03:10:12,133 --> 03:10:12,133
about water

03:10:12,133 --> 03:10:14,133
about water

9075
03:10:15,133 --> 03:10:15,133
supply today. So shifting a

9076
03:10:15,133 --> 03:10:17,133
supply today. So shifting a

9077
03:10:17,133 --> 03:10:17,133
little bit from what's happening today

9078
03:10:17,133 --> 03:10:18,133
little bit from what's happening today

9079
03:10:18,133 --> 03:10:18,133

03:10:18,133 --> 03:10:20,133
to forecast in

9081
03:10:23,133 --> 03:10:23,133
the future. I'm summarizing the interstate

9082
03:10:23,133 --> 03:10:26,733
the future. I'm summarizing the interstate

9092
03:10:34,133 --> 03:10:36,133
years. This is for the potomac river

9093
03:10:36,133 --> 03:10:36,133

study

9103
03:10:45,133 --> 03:10:45,133
is that the river

9104
03:10:45,133 --> 03:10:47,133
is that the river

9105
03:10:47,133 --> 03:10:47,133
is at higher risk of drought to climate

9106
03:10:47,133 --> 03:10:48,133
is at higher risk of drought to climate

9107

expanded uses.

9110
03:10:51,133 --> 03:10:53,133
expanded uses.

9111
03:10:54,133 --> 03:10:54,133
in particular as something that is

9112
03:10:54,133 --> 03:10:55,133
in particular as something that is

9113
03:10:55,133 --> 03:10:55,133
new from

03:10:57,133 --> 03:10:57,133
the study findings from other

03:11:00,133 --> 03:11:00,133
findings is our regional water supply

9118
03:11:00,133 --> 03:11:01,133
findings is our regional water supply

9119
03:11:01,133 --> 03:11:01,133
was shown

9120
03:11:01,133 --> 03:11:02,133
was shown

9121
03:11:02,133 --> 03:11:02,133
to be at risk of shortage in the immediate

9122
03:11:02,133 --> 03:11:03,133

term during extreme drought conditions.

9125
03:11:06,133 --> 03:11:06,133
so this is sooner than

so this is sooner than

9127
03:11:09,133 --> 03:11:09,133

03:11:10,133 --> 03:11:12,133
we are

9131
03:11:12,133 --> 03:11:12,133
at risk but nonetheless an

9132
03:11:12,133 --> 03:11:15,133
at risk but nonetheless an

9133
03:11:15,133 --> 03:11:15,133
important finding to

9134
03:11:15,133 --> 03:11:16,133
important finding to

9135
03:11:16,133 --> 03:11:16,133
build the context around what we are

9136
03:11:16,133 --> 03:11:18,133
build the context around what we are

9137
03:11:18,133 --> 03:11:18,133
talking

9138
03:11:18,133 --> 03:11:20,133
talking

9139
03:11:21,133 --> 03:11:21,133
about today. So moving in a

9140
03:11:21,133 --> 03:11:23,133
about today. So moving in a

9141
03:11:23,133 --> 03:11:23,133
little bit to our general vulnerability

9142
03:11:23,133 --> 03:11:24,133
little bit to our general vulnerability

9143
03:11:24,133 --> 03:11:24,133
from our

9144
03:11:24,133 --> 03:11:26,133
from our

9145
03:11:30,133 --> 03:11:30,133
water supply, zooming in

9146
03:11:30,133 --> 03:11:32,133
water supply, zooming in

9147
03:11:32,133 --> 03:11:32,133
a little bit, I talked about the potomac

9148
03:11:32,133 --> 03:11:33,133
a little bit, I talked about the potomac

9149
03:11:33,133 --> 03:11:33,133
river basin. Obviously we also rely

9150
03:11:33,133 --> 03:11:34,133
river basin. Obviously we also rely

9151
03:11:34,133 --> 03:11:34,133
on

9152
03:11:34,133 --> 03:11:36,133
on

9153
03:11:36,133 --> 03:11:36,133
the river for water supply. We largely

9154
03:11:36,133 --> 03:11:37,133
the river for water supply. We largely

9155
03:11:37,133 --> 03:11:37,133
rely on

9156
03:11:37,133 --> 03:11:39,133
rely on

9157
03:11:39,133 --> 03:11:39,133
the potomac river but both water supplies

9158
03:11:39,133 --> 03:11:42,133
the potomac river but both water supplies

9159
03:11:42,133 --> 03:11:42,133
have

9160
03:11:42,133 --> 03:11:44,133
have

9161
03:11:44,133 --> 03:11:44,133
vulnerabilities. Including in terms

9162
03:11:44,133 --> 03:11:45,133
vulnerabilities. Including in terms

9163
03:11:45,133 --> 03:11:45,133
of the water quantity issues so

9164
03:11:45,133 --> 03:11:48,133
of the water quantity issues so

9165
03:11:48,133 --> 03:11:48,133
we are

03:11:48,133 --> 03:11:50,133
we are

9167
03:11:51,133 --> 03:11:51,133
talking about increased demand,

9168
03:11:51,133 --> 03:11:53,533
talking about increased demand,

our reservoirs. But

9172
03:11:57,133 --> 03:11:59,133
our reservoirs. But

9173
03:12:00,133 --> 03:12:00,133
also

9174
03:12:00,133 --> 03:12:02,133
also

9175
03:12:03,133 --> 03:12:03,133
very up-front the risk around

03:12:03,133 --> 03:12:06,133
very up-front the risk around

9181
03:12:10,133 --> 03:12:10,133
overflows,

9182
03:12:10,133 --> 03:12:11,133
overflows,

extreme weather events, contaminants,

9185
03:12:12,133 --> 03:12:12,133
persistent algal blooms for instance.

9186
03:12:12,133 --> 03:12:13,133
persistent algal blooms for instance.

9187
03:12:13,133 --> 03:12:13,133
those are

9188
03:12:13,133 --> 03:12:15,133
those are

9189
03:12:15,133 --> 03:12:15,133
some of the many things that we think

9190
03:12:15,133 --> 03:12:16,133
some of the many things that we think

9191
03:12:16,133 --> 03:12:16,133
when we

9192
03:12:16,133 --> 03:12:17,133
when we

9193
03:12:17,133 --> 03:12:17,133
think about the vulnerability of our

9194
03:12:17,133 --> 03:12:20,733
think about the vulnerability of our

9195
03:12:23,133 --> 03:12:23,133
water supply. This wouldn't be as

9196
03:12:23,133 --> 03:12:24,133
water supply. This wouldn't be as

9197
03:12:24,133 --> 03:12:24,133
big of an issue if we

9198
03:12:24,133 --> 03:12:25,133
big of an issue if we

9199
03:12:25,133 --> 03:12:25,133
didn't have limited water supply within

9200
03:12:25,133 --> 03:12:27,133
didn't have limited water supply within

9201
03:12:27,133 --> 03:12:27,133
our systems. In

9202
03:12:27,133 --> 03:12:29,133
our systems. In

9203
03:12:30,133 --> 03:12:30,133
the case that one

9204
03:12:30,133 --> 03:12:32,533
the case that one

9205
03:12:33,133 --> 03:12:33,133
of these supplies needs to

9206
03:12:33,133 --> 03:12:36,133
of these supplies needs to

9207
03:12:36,133 --> 03:12:36,133
be supplemented. So to talk

9208
03:12:36,133 --> 03:12:37,133
be supplemented. So to talk

9209
03:12:37,133 --> 03:12:37,133
about the vulnerabilities is hard.

9210
03:12:37,133 --> 03:12:39,133
about the vulnerabilities is hard.

9211
03:12:39,133 --> 03:12:39,133
I'm going to shift to solutions because

9212
03:12:39,133 --> 03:12:40,133
I'm going to shift to solutions because

9213
03:12:40,133 --> 03:12:40,133
those

9214
03:12:40,133 --> 03:12:41,133
those

9215
03:12:41,133 --> 03:12:41,133
are really important. A lot of these

9216
03:12:41,133 --> 03:12:42,133
are really important. A lot of these

9217
03:12:42,133 --> 03:12:42,133
solutions

9218
03:12:42,133 --> 03:12:44,133
solutions

9219
03:12:48,133 --> 03:12:48,133
are required and diverse array of

9220
03:12:48,133 --> 03:12:50,133
are required and diverse array of

9221
03:12:50,133 --> 03:12:50,133
approaches. In the shorter term, longer

9222
03:12:50,133 --> 03:12:51,133
approaches. In the shorter term, longer

9223
03:12:51,133 --> 03:12:51,133
term, with

9224
03:12:51,133 --> 03:12:53,133
term, with

9225
03:12:56,133 --> 03:12:56,133
regional support, this is the way

9226
03:12:56,133 --> 03:12:57,133
regional support, this is the way

9227
03:12:57,133 --> 03:12:57,133
we are going to mitigate

9228
03:12:57,133 --> 03:13:00,133
we are going to mitigate

9229
03:13:00,133 --> 03:13:00,133
risks within our supply. So today,

9230
03:13:00,133 --> 03:13:01,133
risks within our supply. So today,

9231
03:13:01,133 --> 03:13:01,133
the

9232
03:13:01,133 --> 03:13:02,133
the

9233
03:13:02,133 --> 03:13:02,133
focus is really on these regional

9234
03:13:02,133 --> 03:13:03,133
focus is really on these regional

9235
03:13:03,133 --> 03:13:03,133
solutions that we are focused

9236
03:13:03,133 --> 03:13:06,133
solutions that we are focused

9237
03:13:09,133 --> 03:13:09,133
in on.

9238
03:13:09,133 --> 03:13:11,133
in on.

9239
03:13:11,133 --> 03:13:11,133
cooperative water management agreement

9240
03:13:11,133 --> 03:13:12,133
cooperative water management agreement

9241
03:13:12,133 --> 03:13:12,133
in the washington

9242
03:13:12,133 --> 03:13:14,133
in the washington

9243
03:13:15,133 --> 03:13:15,133
metropolitan area that is the reason

9244
03:13:15,133 --> 03:13:16,133
metropolitan area that is the reason

9245
03:13:16,133 --> 03:13:16,133
why we have

9246
03:13:16,133 --> 03:13:18,133
why we have

9247
03:13:21,133 --> 03:13:21,133
the can additional storage upstream

9248
03:13:21,133 --> 03:13:22,133
the can additional storage upstream

9249
03:13:22,133 --> 03:13:22,133
and water

9250
03:13:22,133 --> 03:13:23,133
and water

9251
03:13:23,133 --> 03:13:23,133
supply coordination agreement that

9252
03:13:23,133 --> 03:13:24,133
supply coordination agreement that

9253
03:13:24,133 --> 03:13:24,133
was signed in 1982 setting up the

9254
03:13:24,133 --> 03:13:25,133
was signed in 1982 setting up the

9255
03:13:25,133 --> 03:13:25,133
cooperative water supply operations

9256
03:13:25,133 --> 03:13:27,533
cooperative water supply operations

9257
03:13:28,133 --> 03:13:28,133
which have been very successful

9258
03:13:28,133 --> 03:13:29,133
which have been very successful

9259
03:13:29,133 --> 03:13:29,133
and the reason we are here today talking

9260
03:13:29,133 --> 03:13:31,133
and the reason we are here today talking

9261
03:13:31,133 --> 03:13:31,133
about these

9262
03:13:31,133 --> 03:13:33,133
about these

9263
03:13:33,133 --> 03:13:33,133
things. So large-scale secondary storage

9264
03:13:33,133 --> 03:13:36,133
things. So large-scale secondary storage

9265
03:13:36,133 --> 03:13:36,133
additional storage has been identified

9266
03:13:36,133 --> 03:13:39,133
additional storage has been identified

9267
03:13:40,133 --> 03:13:40,133
as critical to our water

9268
03:13:40,133 --> 03:13:43,133
as critical to our water

9269
03:13:43,133 --> 03:13:43,133
resiliency into

9270
03:13:43,133 --> 03:13:44,133
resiliency into

9271
03:13:44,133 --> 03:13:44,133
the future. That is something that

9272
03:13:44,133 --> 03:13:45,133
the future. That is something that

9273
03:13:45,133 --> 03:13:45,133
has been noted for many years. I also

9274
03:13:45,133 --> 03:13:46,133
has been noted for many years. I also

9275
03:13:46,133 --> 03:13:46,133
want

9276
03:13:46,133 --> 03:13:48,133
want

9277
03:13:49,133 --> 03:13:49,133
to focus on the quarry in

9278
03:13:49,133 --> 03:13:52,133
to focus on the quarry in

9279
03:13:52,133 --> 03:13:52,133
montgomery county

9280
03:13:52,133 --> 03:13:53,133
montgomery county

9281
03:13:53,133 --> 03:13:53,133
identified as a regional storage solution

9282
03:13:53,133 --> 03:13:55,133
identified as a regional storage solution

9283
03:13:55,133 --> 03:13:55,133
time and time

9284
03:13:55,133 --> 03:13:56,133
time and time

9285
03:13:56,133 --> 03:13:56,133
again. So several studies conducted

9286
03:13:56,133 --> 03:13:58,133
again. So several studies conducted

9287
03:13:58,133 --> 03:13:58,133
since the early

9288
03:13:58,133 --> 03:14:00,133
since the early

9289
03:14:01,133 --> 03:14:01,133
2000 support this

9290
03:14:01,133 --> 03:14:03,133
2000 support this

9291
03:14:03,133 --> 03:14:03,133
conclusion. And within these studies

9292
03:14:03,133 --> 03:14:04,133
conclusion. And within these studies

9293
03:14:04,133 --> 03:14:04,133
we

9294
03:14:04,133 --> 03:14:06,133
we

9295
03:14:07,133 --> 03:14:07,133
find there is urgency as well.

9296
03:14:07,133 --> 03:14:09,133
find there is urgency as well.

9297
03:14:09,133 --> 03:14:09,133
we have about 10 years between planning,

9298
03:14:09,133 --> 03:14:12,733
we have about 10 years between planning,

9299
03:14:13,133 --> 03:14:13,133
design, construction, that

9300
03:14:13,133 --> 03:14:15,133
design, construction, that

9301
03:14:15,133 --> 03:14:15,133
means that time is ticking. So the

9302
03:14:15,133 --> 03:14:16,133
means that time is ticking. So the

9303
03:14:16,133 --> 03:14:16,133
sooner

9304
03:14:16,133 --> 03:14:18,133
sooner

9305
03:14:19,133 --> 03:14:19,133
the better on secondary

9306
03:14:19,133 --> 03:14:21,133
the better on secondary

9307
03:14:21,133 --> 03:14:21,133
storage. It doesn't come without a

9308
03:14:21,133 --> 03:14:23,133
storage. It doesn't come without a

9309
03:14:23,133 --> 03:14:23,133
great cost. About $800 million was

9310
03:14:23,133 --> 03:14:25,133
great cost. About $800 million was

9311
03:14:25,133 --> 03:14:25,133
the price tag put

9312
03:14:25,133 --> 03:14:27,533
the price tag put

9313
03:14:28,133 --> 03:14:28,133
on the quarry which

9314
03:14:28,133 --> 03:14:30,533
on the quarry which

9315
03:14:31,133 --> 03:14:31,133
is why

9316
03:14:31,133 --> 03:14:32,133
is why

9317
03:14:32,133 --> 03:14:32,133
shifting into what jackie will be

9318
03:14:32,133 --> 03:14:34,133
shifting into what jackie will be

9319

03:14:40,133 --> 03:14:40,133
us fund the feasibility study

9326
03:14:40,133 --> 03:14:43,133
us fund the feasibility study

9327
03:14:43,133 --> 03:14:43,133
given this big

9328
03:14:43,133 --> 03:14:45,133
given this big

9329
03:14:46,133 --> 03:14:46,133
price tag. And back in 2024 the

9330
03:14:46,133 --> 03:14:47,133
price tag. And back in 2024 the

9331
03:14:47,133 --> 03:14:47,133
u.s. Army corps of engineers started

9332
03:14:47,133 --> 03:14:49,133
u.s. Army corps of engineers started

9333
03:14:49,133 --> 03:14:49,133
this feasibility study and

9334
03:14:49,133 --> 03:14:51,533
this feasibility study and

9335
03:14:52,133 --> 03:14:52,133
begin

9336
03:14:52,133 --> 03:14:54,133
begin

9337
03:14:55,133 --> 03:14:55,133
it and additional appropriations

9338
03:14:55,133 --> 03:14:57,533
it and additional appropriations

9339
03:14:58,133 --> 03:14:58,133
were needed. So last year

9340
03:14:58,133 --> 03:15:01,133
were needed. So last year

9341
03:15:01,133 --> 03:15:01,133
we had a great update

9342
03:15:01,133 --> 03:15:04,133
we had a great update

9343
03:15:04,133 --> 03:15:04,133
from the army corps showing a

9344
03:15:04,133 --> 03:15:05,133
from the army corps showing a

9345
03:15:05,133 --> 03:15:05,133
couple small and large scale alternatives

9346
03:15:05,133 --> 03:15:07,133
couple small and large scale alternatives

9347
03:15:07,133 --> 03:15:07,133
that have been

9348
03:15:07,133 --> 03:15:09,133
that have been

9349
03:15:10,133 --> 03:15:10,133
whittled down for further study. However, the

9350
03:15:10,133 --> 03:15:13,133
whittled down for further study. However, the

9351
03:15:13,133 --> 03:15:13,133
study was delayed due to lapse

9352
03:15:13,133 --> 03:15:16,133
study was delayed due to lapse

9353
03:15:16,133 --> 03:15:16,133
in appropriations in mid-2025. The

9354
03:15:16,133 --> 03:15:19,133
in appropriations in mid-2025. The

9355
03:15:19,133 --> 03:15:19,133
great news is that it is up and

9356
03:15:19,133 --> 03:15:23,133
great news is that it is up and

9357
03:15:23,133 --> 03:15:23,133
running again and that it is beginning

9358
03:15:23,133 --> 03:15:25,133
running again and that it is beginning

9359
03:15:25,133 --> 03:15:25,133
as we

9360
03:15:25,133 --> 03:15:27,133
as we

9361
03:15:28,133 --> 03:15:28,133
speak.

9362
03:15:28,133 --> 03:15:29,133
speak.

9363
03:15:29,133 --> 03:15:29,133
however, there have been additional

9364
03:15:29,133 --> 03:15:30,133
however, there have been additional

9365
03:15:30,133 --> 03:15:30,133
guidance from the u.s. Army corps

9366
03:15:30,133 --> 03:15:31,133

03:15:40,133 --> 03:15:40,133
restrictions on the cost

9376
03:15:40,133 --> 03:15:42,533
restrictions on the cost

9377
03:15:43,133 --> 03:15:43,133
being 3 million, the study being

9378
03:15:43,133 --> 03:15:46,133
being 3 million, the study being

9379
03:15:48,133 --> 03:15:48,133
completed within four years and that

9380
03:15:48,133 --> 03:15:49,133
completed within four years and that

9381
03:15:49,133 --> 03:15:49,133
it must complete 35% of the design

9382
03:15:49,133 --> 03:15:51,133
it must complete 35% of the design

9383
03:15:51,133 --> 03:15:51,133
commensurate with the cost estimate.

9384
03:15:51,133 --> 03:15:52,133
commensurate with the cost estimate.

9385
03:15:52,133 --> 03:15:52,133
some of these

9386
03:15:52,133 --> 03:15:54,133
some of these

9387
03:15:55,133 --> 03:15:55,133
larger scale projects that were

9388
03:15:55,133 --> 03:15:58,133
larger scale projects that were

9389
03:15:58,133 --> 03:15:58,133
identified are not going to fit

9390
03:15:58,133 --> 03:15:59,133
identified are not going to fit

9391
03:15:59,133 --> 03:15:59,133
within the guidance. Those include

9392
03:15:59,133 --> 03:16:02,133
within the guidance. Those include

9393
03:16:02,133 --> 03:16:02,133
the quarry as I mentioned before is

9394
03:16:02,133 --> 03:16:04,133
the quarry as I mentioned before is

9395
03:16:04,133 --> 03:16:04,133
one of the solutions we identified

9396
03:16:04,133 --> 03:16:05,133
one of the solutions we identified

9397
03:16:05,133 --> 03:16:05,133
as

9398
03:16:05,133 --> 03:16:06,133
as

9399
03:16:06,133 --> 03:16:06,133
well as larger scale water reuse projects

9400
03:16:06,133 --> 03:16:07,133
well as larger scale water reuse projects

9401
03:16:07,133 --> 03:16:07,133
and

9402
03:16:07,133 --> 03:16:09,133
and

9403
03:16:09,133 --> 03:16:09,133
additional reservoirs in virginia.

9404
03:16:09,133 --> 03:16:10,133
additional reservoirs in virginia.

9405
03:16:10,133 --> 03:16:10,133
I'm not

9406
03:16:10,133 --> 03:16:12,133
I'm not

9407
03:16:12,133 --> 03:16:12,133
going to go over this in a lot of

9408
03:16:12,133 --> 03:16:13,133
going to go over this in a lot of

9409
03:16:13,133 --> 03:16:13,133
detail, but just to

9410
03:16:13,133 --> 03:16:15,533
detail, but just to

9411
03:16:16,133 --> 03:16:16,133
mention

9412
03:16:16,133 --> 03:16:17,133
mention

9413
03:16:17,133 --> 03:16:17,133
that it's time for us to recalibrate

9414
03:16:17,133 --> 03:16:19,133
that it's time for us to recalibrate

9415
03:16:19,133 --> 03:16:19,133
and think about going forward

9416
03:16:19,133 --> 03:16:21,133
and think about going forward

9417
03:16:21,133 --> 03:16:21,133
how these larger scale projects are

9418
03:16:21,133 --> 03:16:22,133
how these larger scale projects are

9419
03:16:22,133 --> 03:16:22,133
going to

9420
03:16:22,133 --> 03:16:24,133
going to

9421
03:16:25,133 --> 03:16:25,133
be continued beyond

9422
03:16:25,133 --> 03:16:27,133
be continued beyond

9423
03:16:28,133 --> 03:16:28,133
this effort. The

9424
03:16:28,133 --> 03:16:30,133
this effort. The

9425
03:16:31,133 --> 03:16:31,133
next summarizes the alternatives in

9426
03:16:31,133 --> 03:16:34,133
next summarizes the alternatives in

9427
03:16:34,133 --> 03:16:34,133
2025 versus

03:16:34,133 --> 03:16:36,133
2025 versus

9429
03:16:37,133 --> 03:16:37,133
the new what is moving forward today.

9430
03:16:37,133 --> 03:16:38,133
the new what is moving forward today.

9431
03:16:38,133 --> 03:16:38,133
I'm

9432
03:16:38,133 --> 03:16:40,133
I'm

9433
03:16:40,133 --> 03:16:40,133
not going to talk a lot

9434
03:16:40,133 --> 03:16:43,133
not going to talk a lot

9435
03:16:43,133 --> 03:16:43,133
about this but to have

9436
03:16:43,133 --> 03:16:46,133
about this but to have

9437
03:16:46,133 --> 03:16:46,133
it in one slide for

9438
03:16:46,133 --> 03:16:49,133
it in one slide for

9439
03:16:49,133 --> 03:16:49,133
reference later. Solutions we've identified

9440
03:16:49,133 --> 03:16:52,133
reference later. Solutions we've identified

9441
03:16:53,133 --> 03:16:53,133
such will require additional regional

9442
03:16:53,133 --> 03:16:55,133
such will require additional regional

9443
03:16:55,133 --> 03:16:55,133
partnership and we expect that going

9444
03:16:55,133 --> 03:16:56,133
partnership and we expect that going

9445
03:16:56,133 --> 03:16:56,133
forward, it's

9446
03:16:56,133 --> 03:16:57,133
forward, it's

9447
03:16:57,133 --> 03:16:57,133
been a great working relationship.

9448
03:16:57,133 --> 03:17:00,133
been a great working relationship.

9449
03:17:01,133 --> 03:17:01,133
so just to sort of wrap up to

9450
03:17:01,133 --> 03:17:04,133
so just to sort of wrap up to

9451
03:17:04,133 --> 03:17:04,133
talk more broadly about

9452
03:17:04,133 --> 03:17:06,533
talk more broadly about

9453
03:17:08,133 --> 03:17:08,133
wssc water general strategy before

9454
03:17:08,133 --> 03:17:10,133
wssc water general strategy before

9455
03:17:10,133 --> 03:17:10,133
I hand it over

9456
03:17:10,133 --> 03:17:12,533
I hand it over

9457
03:17:13,133 --> 03:17:13,133
to jackie. Talking about

9458
03:17:13,133 --> 03:17:14,133
to jackie. Talking about

9459
03:17:14,133 --> 03:17:14,133
a regional solution for additional

9460
03:17:14,133 --> 03:17:16,133
a regional solution for additional

9461
03:17:16,133 --> 03:17:16,133
storage is one part of it.

9462
03:17:16,133 --> 03:17:19,133
storage is one part of it.

9463
03:17:19,133 --> 03:17:19,133
it is requires a

9464
03:17:19,133 --> 03:17:21,533
it is requires a

9465
03:17:22,133 --> 03:17:22,133
multifaceted approach. So those

9466
03:17:22,133 --> 03:17:24,533
multifaceted approach. So those

9467
03:17:25,133 --> 03:17:25,133
other things that we are

9468
03:17:25,133 --> 03:17:27,133
other things that we are

that might be in

9475
03:17:34,133 --> 03:17:34,133
the future. Related to things such

9476
03:17:34,133 --> 03:17:35,133
the future. Related to things such

9477
03:17:35,133 --> 03:17:35,133
as

9478
03:17:35,133 --> 03:17:37,133
as

9479
03:17:37,133 --> 03:17:37,133
operational optimization. So drought

9480
03:17:37,133 --> 03:17:38,133
operational optimization. So drought

9481

storage and sources. These are all

9493
03:17:47,133 --> 03:17:47,133
really good

for conservation

9511
03:18:04,133 --> 03:18:04,133
efforts and

9512
03:18:04,133 --> 03:18:06,133
efforts and

9513
03:18:07,133 --> 03:18:07,133
non-potable reuse. And

9514
03:18:07,133 --> 03:18:09,133
non-potable reuse. And

9515
03:18:10,133 --> 03:18:10,133
then finally contaminant

9516
03:18:10,133 --> 03:18:12,133
then finally contaminant

risk reduction. Source water protection

9519
03:18:15,133 --> 03:18:15,133
which is how you protect at the source

9520
03:18:15,133 --> 03:18:16,133
which is how you protect at the source

9521
03:18:16,133 --> 03:18:16,133
and then

9522
03:18:16,133 --> 03:18:18,133
and then

9523
03:18:19,133 --> 03:18:19,133
also how the best way to mitigate

9524
03:18:19,133 --> 03:18:20,133
also how the best way to mitigate

what they

9631
03:20:02,133 --> 03:20:02,133
are doing. Certainly we are

and projected that at some point

9689
03:21:11,133 --> 03:21:11,133
water supply will become

9690
03:21:11,133 --> 03:21:13,533
water supply will become

9691
03:21:14,133 --> 03:21:14,133
more scarce. So to address

9692
03:21:14,133 --> 03:21:17,133
more scarce. So to address

9693
03:21:18,133 --> 03:21:18,133
these vulnerabilities in the water

9724
03:21:47,133 --> 03:21:49,133
starts

9725
03:21:50,133 --> 03:21:50,133
the study between the core and

9726
03:21:50,133 --> 03:21:53,133
the study between the core and

9727
03:21:53,133 --> 03:21:53,133
nonfederal sponsor that was signed

9728
03:21:53,133 --> 03:21:56,133
nonfederal sponsor that was signed

9729
03:21:56,133 --> 03:21:56,133
in september 30th, 2024.

9730
03:21:56,133 --> 03:21:58,133
in september 30th, 2024.

9731
03:21:59,133 --> 03:21:59,133
since then we've been working on a

9732
03:21:59,133 --> 03:22:01,133
since then we've been working on a

9733
03:22:01,133 --> 03:22:01,133
study. We did have a complicating

9734
03:22:01,133 --> 03:22:02,133
study. We did have a complicating

9735
03:22:02,133 --> 03:22:02,133
factor which

9736
03:22:02,133 --> 03:22:04,133
factor which

9737
03:22:05,133 --> 03:22:05,133
was

9738
03:22:05,133 --> 03:22:07,133
was

9739
03:22:07,133 --> 03:22:07,133
that 2024 changed the cost share for

9740
03:22:07,133 --> 03:22:08,133
that 2024 changed the cost share for

9741
03:22:08,133 --> 03:22:08,133
the study. Typically

9742
03:22:08,133 --> 03:22:10,133
the study. Typically

9743
03:22:11,133 --> 03:22:11,133
these are cost shared

9744
03:22:11,133 --> 03:22:13,533
these are cost shared

9745
03:22:14,133 --> 03:22:14,133
50% federal, 50% nonfederal

9746
03:22:14,133 --> 03:22:16,133
50% federal, 50% nonfederal

9747
03:22:17,133 --> 03:22:17,133
but that changed the cost share to

9748
03:22:17,133 --> 03:22:20,133
but that changed the cost share to

9749
03:22:20,133 --> 03:22:20,133
be 90% federal

9750
03:22:20,133 --> 03:22:22,133
be 90% federal

9751
03:22:22,133 --> 03:22:22,133
10% nonfederal. We did not have the

9752
03:22:22,133 --> 03:22:23,133
10% nonfederal. We did not have the

9753
03:22:23,133 --> 03:22:23,133
federal funds

9754
03:22:23,133 --> 03:22:25,133
federal funds

9755
03:22:26,133 --> 03:22:26,133
to support that change in

9756
03:22:26,133 --> 03:22:29,133
to support that change in

9757
03:22:29,133 --> 03:22:29,133
the share. So it did result in a little

9758
03:22:29,133 --> 03:22:32,133
the share. So it did result in a little

9759
03:22:32,133 --> 03:22:32,133
bit of a delay related

9760
03:22:32,133 --> 03:22:35,133
bit of a delay related

9761
03:22:35,133 --> 03:22:35,133
to that.

9762
03:22:35,133 --> 03:22:36,133
to that.

9763
03:22:36,133 --> 03:22:36,133
I think everyone recognizes the federal

9764
03:22:36,133 --> 03:22:38,133
I think everyone recognizes the federal

9765
03:22:38,133 --> 03:22:38,133
interest in the d.c.

9766
03:22:38,133 --> 03:22:41,133
interest in the d.c.

9767
03:22:41,133 --> 03:22:41,133
water supply. Obviously millions of

9768
03:22:41,133 --> 03:22:42,133
water supply. Obviously millions of

9769
03:22:42,133 --> 03:22:42,133
people

9770
03:22:42,133 --> 03:22:44,133
people

9771
03:22:44,133 --> 03:22:44,133
work and live ndc, we have a

9772
03:22:44,133 --> 03:22:47,133
work and live ndc, we have a

9773
03:22:47,133 --> 03:22:47,133
lot of national security assets and

9774
03:22:47,133 --> 03:22:48,133
lot of national security assets and

9775
03:22:48,133 --> 03:22:48,133
critical

9776
03:22:48,133 --> 03:22:50,133
critical

9777
03:22:50,133 --> 03:22:50,133
infrastructure within

9778
03:22:50,133 --> 03:22:52,133
infrastructure within

9779
03:22:53,133 --> 03:22:53,133
the area. And related to the

9780
03:22:53,133 --> 03:22:55,133
the area. And related to the

9781
03:22:55,133 --> 03:22:55,133
army corps we own and operate the

9782
03:22:55,133 --> 03:22:56,133
army corps we own and operate the

9783
03:22:56,133 --> 03:22:56,133
washington aqueduct,

9784
03:22:56,133 --> 03:22:58,133
washington aqueduct,

9785
03:22:59,133 --> 03:22:59,133
the only federally owned

9786
03:22:59,133 --> 03:23:01,533
the only federally owned

9788
03:23:02,133 --> 03:23:05,133
and operated water supply in

9789
03:23:05,133 --> 03:23:05,133

9790
03:23:05,133 --> 03:23:07,133
the

9791
03:23:08,133 --> 03:23:08,133
country. So I think you've had briefings

9792
03:23:08,133 --> 03:23:09,133
country. So I think you've had briefings

9793
03:23:09,133 --> 03:23:09,133
on

9794
03:23:09,133 --> 03:23:10,133
on

9795
03:23:10,133 --> 03:23:10,133
this so I will limit the background

9796
03:23:10,133 --> 03:23:11,133
this so I will limit the background

9797
03:23:11,133 --> 03:23:11,133
to that but happy to take questions

9798
03:23:11,133 --> 03:23:13,133
to that but happy to take questions

9799
03:23:13,133 --> 03:23:13,133
on it. I wanted to move to the phase

9800
03:23:13,133 --> 03:23:17,133
on it. I wanted to move to the phase

9801
03:23:17,133 --> 03:23:17,133
of study so where we've been a little

9802
03:23:17,133 --> 03:23:20,133
of study so where we've been a little

9803
03:23:20,133 --> 03:23:20,133
bit with the study and

9804
03:23:20,133 --> 03:23:23,133
bit with the study and

9805
03:23:23,133 --> 03:23:23,133
you guidance related to

9806
03:23:23,133 --> 03:23:25,533
you guidance related to

9807
03:23:26,133 --> 03:23:26,133
the study. This is a diagram that

9808
03:23:26,133 --> 03:23:27,133
the study. This is a diagram that

9809
03:23:27,133 --> 03:23:27,133
shows our

9810
03:23:27,133 --> 03:23:29,133
shows our

9811
03:23:31,133 --> 03:23:31,133
planning process. We have been in

9812
03:23:31,133 --> 03:23:32,133
planning process. We have been in

9813
03:23:32,133 --> 03:23:32,133
the scoping

9814
03:23:32,133 --> 03:23:34,133
the scoping

9815
03:23:34,133 --> 03:23:34,133
face so at that timeline at the top

9816
03:23:34,133 --> 03:23:35,133
face so at that timeline at the top

9817
03:23:35,133 --> 03:23:35,133
left. That means that

9818
03:23:35,133 --> 03:23:37,533
left. That means that

03:23:44,133 --> 03:23:47,133
area, what solutions have been

9827
03:23:47,133 --> 03:23:47,133
presented and trying to come

9828
03:23:47,133 --> 03:23:49,133
presented and trying to come

9829
03:23:49,133 --> 03:23:49,133
up with a set of alternatives that

9830
03:23:49,133 --> 03:23:51,133
up with a set of alternatives that

9831
03:23:51,133 --> 03:23:51,133
we presented at a milestone meeting

9832
03:23:51,133 --> 03:23:53,133
we presented at a milestone meeting

9833
03:23:53,133 --> 03:23:53,133
to our higher

9834
03:23:53,133 --> 03:23:55,133
to our higher

9835
03:23:56,133 --> 03:23:56,133
authorities in

9836
03:23:56,133 --> 03:23:58,133
authorities in

9837
03:23:59,133 --> 03:23:59,133
june 2025. We have a couple different

9838
03:23:59,133 --> 03:24:00,133
june 2025. We have a couple different

9839
03:24:00,133 --> 03:24:00,133
decision

9840
03:24:00,133 --> 03:24:01,133
decision

9841
03:24:01,133 --> 03:24:01,133
checkpoints we have to go to through

9842
03:24:01,133 --> 03:24:02,133
checkpoints we have to go to through

9843
03:24:02,133 --> 03:24:02,133
in

9844
03:24:02,133 --> 03:24:04,133
in

9845
03:24:05,133 --> 03:24:05,133
the process. That allowed us

9846
03:24:05,133 --> 03:24:08,133
the process. That allowed us

9847
03:24:08,133 --> 03:24:08,133
to continue

9848
03:24:08,133 --> 03:24:10,133
to continue

9849
03:24:11,133 --> 03:24:11,133
proceeding forward

9850
03:24:11,133 --> 03:24:13,133
proceeding forward

9851
03:24:14,133 --> 03:24:14,133
we are currently in this alternative

9852
03:24:14,133 --> 03:24:15,133
we are currently in this alternative

9853
03:24:15,133 --> 03:24:15,133
formulation and analysis

9854
03:24:15,133 --> 03:24:17,133
formulation and analysis

9855
03:24:17,133 --> 03:24:17,133
phase so taking that array of

9856
03:24:17,133 --> 03:24:20,733
phase so taking that array of

9857
03:24:23,133 --> 03:24:23,133
alternative and doing some comprehensive

9858
03:24:23,133 --> 03:24:25,133
alternative and doing some comprehensive

9859
03:24:25,133 --> 03:24:25,133
evaluation of the benefits and costs

9860
03:24:25,133 --> 03:24:26,133
evaluation of the benefits and costs

9861
03:24:26,133 --> 03:24:26,133
related to those and then selecting

9862
03:24:26,133 --> 03:24:28,133
related to those and then selecting

9863
03:24:28,133 --> 03:24:28,133
the one that should be the agency

9864
03:24:28,133 --> 03:24:32,133
the one that should be the agency

9865
03:24:32,133 --> 03:24:32,133
recommendation plan.

9866
03:24:32,133 --> 03:24:34,133
recommendation plan.

9867
03:24:35,133 --> 03:24:35,133
we are getting

9868
03:24:35,133 --> 03:24:37,133
we are getting

9869
03:24:37,133 --> 03:24:37,133
quite a lot of new guidance at this

9870
03:24:37,133 --> 03:24:38,133
quite a lot of new guidance at this

9871
03:24:38,133 --> 03:24:38,133
time so it looks like this process

9872
03:24:38,133 --> 03:24:40,133
time so it looks like this process

9873
03:24:40,133 --> 03:24:40,133
will change a little bit but still

9874
03:24:40,133 --> 03:24:41,133
will change a little bit but still

9875
03:24:41,133 --> 03:24:41,133
have basically the same decision checkpoints

9876
03:24:41,133 --> 03:24:42,133
have basically the same decision checkpoints

9877
03:24:42,133 --> 03:24:42,133
along

9878
03:24:42,133 --> 03:24:44,133
along

9879
03:24:44,133 --> 03:24:44,133
the way.

9880
03:24:44,133 --> 03:24:46,133
the way.

9881
03:24:47,133 --> 03:24:47,133
and then highlight that the study

9882
03:24:47,133 --> 03:24:48,133
and then highlight that the study

9883
03:24:48,133 --> 03:24:48,133
is scheduled

9884
03:24:48,133 --> 03:24:50,133
is scheduled

9885
03:24:51,133 --> 03:24:51,133
to end september

9886
03:24:51,133 --> 03:24:53,133
to end september

9887
03:24:54,133 --> 03:24:54,133
30th, 2028. So

9888
03:24:54,133 --> 03:24:55,133
30th, 2028. So

9889
03:24:55,133 --> 03:24:55,133
I won't talk about this much but this

9890
03:24:55,133 --> 03:24:57,133
I won't talk about this much but this

9891
03:24:57,133 --> 03:24:57,133
is the

9892
03:24:57,133 --> 03:24:59,133
is the

9893
03:25:00,133 --> 03:25:00,133
alternative process. There have

9894
03:25:00,133 --> 03:25:01,133
alternative process. There have

9895
03:25:01,133 --> 03:25:01,133
been a lot of studies done on this

9896
03:25:01,133 --> 03:25:03,133
been a lot of studies done on this

9897
03:25:03,133 --> 03:25:03,133
in

9898
03:25:03,133 --> 03:25:05,133
in

9899
03:25:09,133 --> 03:25:09,133
the past.

9900
03:25:09,133 --> 03:25:10,133
the past.

9901
03:25:10,133 --> 03:25:10,133
army corps had a value planning study

9902
03:25:10,133 --> 03:25:12,133
army corps had a value planning study

9903
03:25:12,133 --> 03:25:12,133
done a few

9904
03:25:12,133 --> 03:25:14,133
done a few

9905
03:25:17,133 --> 03:25:17,133
years ago so all of this was looked

9906
03:25:17,133 --> 03:25:18,133
years ago so all of this was looked

9907
03:25:18,133 --> 03:25:18,133
at in coordination with

9908
03:25:18,133 --> 03:25:19,133
at in coordination with

9909
03:25:19,133 --> 03:25:19,133
all the different alternatives presented.

9910
03:25:19,133 --> 03:25:21,133
all the different alternatives presented.

9911
03:25:21,133 --> 03:25:21,133
at that time. Primarily with the

9912
03:25:21,133 --> 03:25:24,133
at that time. Primarily with the

9913
03:25:24,133 --> 03:25:24,133
goal to find

9914
03:25:24,133 --> 03:25:26,133
goal to find

9915
03:25:26,133 --> 03:25:26,133
a regional solution that can aid all

9916
03:25:26,133 --> 03:25:27,133
a regional solution that can aid all

9917
03:25:27,133 --> 03:25:27,133
of the

9918
03:25:27,133 --> 03:25:29,133
of the

9919
03:25:31,133 --> 03:25:31,133
water suppliers. We went through a

9920
03:25:31,133 --> 03:25:33,133
water suppliers. We went through a

9921
03:25:33,133 --> 03:25:33,133
number of different

9922
03:25:33,133 --> 03:25:34,133
number of different

9923
03:25:34,133 --> 03:25:34,133
screening steps, alternatives and

9924
03:25:34,133 --> 03:25:35,133
screening steps, alternatives and

9925
03:25:35,133 --> 03:25:35,133
had different decision criteria and

9926
03:25:35,133 --> 03:25:36,133
had different decision criteria and

9927
03:25:36,133 --> 03:25:36,133
then whittled

9928
03:25:36,133 --> 03:25:38,133
then whittled

9929
03:25:39,133 --> 03:25:39,133
these down to our array

9930
03:25:39,133 --> 03:25:40,133
these down to our array

9931
03:25:40,133 --> 03:25:40,133
of alternatives that was presented

9932
03:25:40,133 --> 03:25:42,133
of alternatives that was presented

9933
03:25:42,133 --> 03:25:42,133
at the

9934
03:25:42,133 --> 03:25:44,133
at the

9935
03:25:48,133 --> 03:25:48,133
milestone meeting.

9936
03:25:48,133 --> 03:25:50,133
milestone meeting.

9937
03:25:51,133 --> 03:25:51,133
this just gives

9938
03:25:51,133 --> 03:25:52,133
this just gives

9939
03:25:52,133 --> 03:25:52,133
you an idea of some of the different

9940
03:25:52,133 --> 03:25:53,133
you an idea of some of the different

9941
03:25:53,133 --> 03:25:53,133
strategies that we've looked at. Quite

9942
03:25:53,133 --> 03:25:54,133
strategies that we've looked at. Quite

9943
03:25:54,133 --> 03:25:54,133
a wide

9944
03:25:54,133 --> 03:25:56,133
a wide

9945
03:25:57,133 --> 03:25:57,133
range of strategies,

9946
03:25:57,133 --> 03:25:59,133
range of strategies,

9947
03:25:59,133 --> 03:25:59,133
building new reservoirs, desalination,

9948
03:25:59,133 --> 03:26:01,533
building new reservoirs, desalination,

9949
03:26:02,133 --> 03:26:02,133
groundwater use, wastewater reuse,

9950
03:26:02,133 --> 03:26:03,133
groundwater use, wastewater reuse,

9951
03:26:03,133 --> 03:26:03,133
a

9952
03:26:03,133 --> 03:26:05,133
a

9953
03:26:06,133 --> 03:26:06,133
wide variety

9954
03:26:06,133 --> 03:26:08,133
wide variety

9955
03:26:08,133 --> 03:26:08,133
of things. Some of them were technically

9956
03:26:08,133 --> 03:26:09,133
of things. Some of them were technically

9957
03:26:09,133 --> 03:26:09,133
infeasible or

9958
03:26:09,133 --> 03:26:11,133
infeasible or

9959
03:26:12,133 --> 03:26:12,133
had other

9960
03:26:12,133 --> 03:26:13,133
had other

9961
03:26:13,133 --> 03:26:13,133
constraints so were screened in coordination

9962
03:26:13,133 --> 03:26:16,733
constraints so were screened in coordination

9963
03:26:18,133 --> 03:26:18,133
with utilities. So

9964
03:26:18,133 --> 03:26:19,133
with utilities. So

9965
03:26:19,133 --> 03:26:19,133
the focused array of alternatives

9966
03:26:19,133 --> 03:26:21,133
the focused array of alternatives

9967
03:26:21,133 --> 03:26:21,133
that we resented to

9968
03:26:21,133 --> 03:26:23,533
that we resented to

9969
03:26:24,133 --> 03:26:24,133
our management when we received

9970
03:26:24,133 --> 03:26:26,133
our management when we received

9971
03:26:26,133 --> 03:26:26,133
the approval to move forward is shown

9972
03:26:26,133 --> 03:26:27,133
the approval to move forward is shown

9973
03:26:27,133 --> 03:26:27,133
here.

9974
03:26:27,133 --> 03:26:29,133
here.

9975
03:26:30,133 --> 03:26:30,133
primarily quarry alternatives,

9976
03:26:30,133 --> 03:26:32,133
primarily quarry alternatives,

9977
03:26:33,133 --> 03:26:33,133
and then luck

9978
03:26:33,133 --> 03:26:35,133
and then luck

9979
03:26:36,133 --> 03:26:36,133
stone quarry, blue planes was an option.

9980
03:26:36,133 --> 03:26:39,133
stone quarry, blue planes was an option.

9981
03:26:39,133 --> 03:26:39,133
and then the

9982
03:26:39,133 --> 03:26:41,133
and then the

9983
03:26:41,133 --> 03:26:41,133
reservoir expansion which was always

9984
03:26:41,133 --> 03:26:42,133
reservoir expansion which was always

9985
03:26:42,133 --> 03:26:42,133
intended just to be

9986
03:26:42,133 --> 03:26:44,533
intended just to be

9987
03:26:48,133 --> 03:26:48,133
an add-on

9988
03:26:48,133 --> 03:26:49,133
an add-on

9989
03:26:49,133 --> 03:26:49,133
to one of these other alternatives

9990
03:26:49,133 --> 03:26:51,133
to one of these other alternatives

9991
03:26:51,133 --> 03:26:51,133
given that the quarry

9992
03:26:51,133 --> 03:26:52,133
given that the quarry

9993
03:26:52,133 --> 03:26:52,133
alternative would have met the regional

9994
03:26:52,133 --> 03:26:54,133
alternative would have met the regional

9995
03:26:54,133 --> 03:26:54,133
need much better than

9996
03:26:54,133 --> 03:26:56,533
need much better than

9997
03:26:57,133 --> 03:26:57,133
something

9998
03:26:57,133 --> 03:26:59,133
something

9999
03:27:00,133 --> 03:27:00,133
like that. So that's kind of where

10000
03:27:00,133 --> 03:27:01,133
like that. So that's kind of where

10001
03:27:01,133 --> 03:27:01,133
we

10002
03:27:01,133 --> 03:27:03,133
we

10003
03:27:03,133 --> 03:27:03,133
have

10004
03:27:03,133 --> 03:27:05,133
have

10005
03:27:05,133 --> 03:27:05,133
been and as katie mentioned we have

10006
03:27:05,133 --> 03:27:06,133
been and as katie mentioned we have

10007
03:27:06,133 --> 03:27:06,133
now received

10008
03:27:06,133 --> 03:27:08,133
now received

10009
03:27:08,133 --> 03:27:08,133
new guidance. From our headquarters

10010
03:27:08,133 --> 03:27:09,133
new guidance. From our headquarters

10011
03:27:09,133 --> 03:27:09,133
as well as

10012
03:27:09,133 --> 03:27:11,133
as well as

10013
03:27:11,133 --> 03:27:11,133
the assistant secretary of the army

10014
03:27:11,133 --> 03:27:12,133
the assistant secretary of the army

10015
03:27:12,133 --> 03:27:12,133
for civil

10016
03:27:12,133 --> 03:27:14,133
for civil

10017
03:27:15,133 --> 03:27:15,133
works and that's what

10018
03:27:15,133 --> 03:27:17,533
works and that's what

10019
03:27:18,133 --> 03:27:18,133
is guiding our

10020
03:27:18,133 --> 03:27:19,133
is guiding our

10021
03:27:19,133 --> 03:27:19,133
direction today. What we've heard

10022
03:27:19,133 --> 03:27:20,133
direction today. What we've heard

10023
03:27:20,133 --> 03:27:20,133
from them is we need to stay within

10024
03:27:20,133 --> 03:27:21,133
from them is we need to stay within

10025
03:27:21,133 --> 03:27:21,133
the

10026
03:27:21,133 --> 03:27:23,133
the

10027
03:27:23,133 --> 03:27:23,133
confines of the three by three role.

10028
03:27:23,133 --> 03:27:24,133
confines of the three by three role.

10029
03:27:24,133 --> 03:27:24,133
something

10030
03:27:24,133 --> 03:27:26,133
something

10031
03:27:27,133 --> 03:27:27,133
that

10032
03:27:27,133 --> 03:27:29,133
that

10033
03:27:30,133 --> 03:27:30,133
was enacted in 2014 basically

10034
03:27:30,133 --> 03:27:32,533
was enacted in 2014 basically

10035
03:27:33,133 --> 03:27:33,133
that the court needs to

10036
03:27:33,133 --> 03:27:35,133
that the court needs to

10037
03:27:35,133 --> 03:27:35,133
complete visibility studies within

10038
03:27:35,133 --> 03:27:36,133
complete visibility studies within

10039
03:27:36,133 --> 03:27:36,133
three years and within

10040
03:27:36,133 --> 03:27:38,133
three years and within

10041
03:27:38,133 --> 03:27:38,133
a $3 million budget. We had originally

10042
03:27:38,133 --> 03:27:41,733
a $3 million budget. We had originally

10043
03:27:42,133 --> 03:27:42,133
scoped this study to be a $13

10044
03:27:42,133 --> 03:27:43,133
scoped this study to be a $13

10045
03:27:43,133 --> 03:27:43,133
million study and take over six years

10046
03:27:43,133 --> 03:27:45,133
million study and take over six years

10047
03:27:45,133 --> 03:27:45,133
when we were looking at a

10048
03:27:45,133 --> 03:27:48,133
when we were looking at a

10049
03:27:48,133 --> 03:27:48,133
regional solution. So having to constrain

10050
03:27:48,133 --> 03:27:49,133
regional solution. So having to constrain

10051
03:27:49,133 --> 03:27:49,133
the

10052
03:27:49,133 --> 03:27:50,133
the

10053
03:27:50,133 --> 03:27:50,133
study within three years and $3 million

10054
03:27:50,133 --> 03:27:51,133
study within three years and $3 million

10055
03:27:51,133 --> 03:27:51,133
is quite

10056
03:27:51,133 --> 03:27:53,133
is quite

10057
03:27:54,133 --> 03:27:54,133
a big difference. But

10058
03:27:54,133 --> 03:27:56,533
a big difference. But

10059
03:27:57,133 --> 03:27:57,133
that's where we are today. They did

10060
03:27:57,133 --> 03:27:58,133
that's where we are today. They did

10061
03:27:58,133 --> 03:27:58,133
allow

10062
03:27:58,133 --> 03:28:00,133
allow

10063
03:28:00,133 --> 03:28:00,133
us to complete the

10064
03:28:00,133 --> 03:28:02,133
us to complete the

10065
03:28:02,133 --> 03:28:02,133
study within four years given the

10066
03:28:02,133 --> 03:28:03,133
study within four years given the

10067
03:28:03,133 --> 03:28:03,133
delays that we've had

10068
03:28:03,133 --> 03:28:05,133
delays that we've had

10069
03:28:05,133 --> 03:28:05,133
in funding related to the cost share

10070
03:28:05,133 --> 03:28:06,133
in funding related to the cost share

10071
03:28:06,133 --> 03:28:06,133
and then just

10072
03:28:06,133 --> 03:28:08,133
and then just

10073
03:28:08,133 --> 03:28:08,133
not receiving appropriations in a

10074
03:28:08,133 --> 03:28:09,133
not receiving appropriations in a

10075
03:28:09,133 --> 03:28:09,133
timely

10076
03:28:09,133 --> 03:28:11,133
timely

10077
03:28:12,133 --> 03:28:12,133
manner. So we are looking at

10078
03:28:12,133 --> 03:28:14,133
manner. So we are looking at

10079
03:28:14,133 --> 03:28:14,133
completing the study for 3 million

10080
03:28:14,133 --> 03:28:15,133
completing the study for 3 million

10081
03:28:15,133 --> 03:28:15,133
by

10082
03:28:15,133 --> 03:28:17,133
by

10083
03:28:18,133 --> 03:28:18,133
september 2028.

10084
03:28:18,133 --> 03:28:20,133
september 2028.

10085
03:28:21,133 --> 03:28:21,133
the other new requirement is that

10086
03:28:21,133 --> 03:28:22,133
the other new requirement is that

10087
03:28:22,133 --> 03:28:22,133
we

10088
03:28:22,133 --> 03:28:23,133
we

10089
03:28:23,133 --> 03:28:23,133
need to by the end of the feasibility

10090
03:28:23,133 --> 03:28:27,133
need to by the end of the feasibility

10091
03:28:27,133 --> 03:28:27,133
study complete a 35%

10092
03:28:27,133 --> 03:28:29,133
study complete a 35%

10093
03:28:30,133 --> 03:28:30,133
engineering design. This also limits

10094
03:28:30,133 --> 03:28:31,133
engineering design. This also limits

10095
03:28:31,133 --> 03:28:31,133
the

10096
03:28:31,133 --> 03:28:33,133
the

10097
03:28:33,133 --> 03:28:33,133
options that we can look

10098
03:28:33,133 --> 03:28:36,133
options that we can look

10099
03:28:36,133 --> 03:28:36,133
at because things that

10100
03:28:36,133 --> 03:28:38,533
at because things that

10101
03:28:39,133 --> 03:28:39,133
have miles of pipeline for

10102
03:28:39,133 --> 03:28:41,133
have miles of pipeline for

10103
03:28:41,133 --> 03:28:41,133
35% design we will have two boreholes

10104
03:28:41,133 --> 03:28:42,133
35% design we will have two boreholes

10105
03:28:42,133 --> 03:28:42,133
along that length and

10106
03:28:42,133 --> 03:28:44,533
along that length and

10107
03:28:45,133 --> 03:28:45,133
it really increases the

10108
03:28:45,133 --> 03:28:46,133
it really increases the

10109
03:28:46,133 --> 03:28:46,133
cost. So unfortunately with these

10110
03:28:46,133 --> 03:28:48,133
cost. So unfortunately with these

10111
03:28:48,133 --> 03:28:48,133
new studies

10112
03:28:48,133 --> 03:28:49,133
new studies

10113
03:28:49,133 --> 03:28:49,133
limitations we are now focusing on

10114
03:28:49,133 --> 03:28:51,133
limitations we are now focusing on

10115
03:28:51,133 --> 03:28:51,133
much smaller

10116
03:28:51,133 --> 03:28:53,133
much smaller

10117
03:28:53,133 --> 03:28:53,133
scale alternatives. We are looking

10118
03:28:53,133 --> 03:28:54,133
scale alternatives. We are looking

10119
03:28:54,133 --> 03:28:54,133
at things that could be

10120
03:28:54,133 --> 03:28:57,133
at things that could be

10121
03:28:57,133 --> 03:28:57,133
implanted

10122
03:28:57,133 --> 03:28:59,133
implanted

10123
03:29:00,133 --> 03:29:00,133
more quickly.

10124
03:29:00,133 --> 03:29:02,133
more quickly.

10125
03:29:03,133 --> 03:29:03,133
things that have synergy with

10126
03:29:03,133 --> 03:29:05,133
things that have synergy with

10127
03:29:05,133 --> 03:29:05,133
longer-term solutions. One of the

10128
03:29:05,133 --> 03:29:06,133
longer-term solutions. One of the

10129
03:29:06,133 --> 03:29:06,133
key takeaways of this is

10130
03:29:06,133 --> 03:29:09,133
key takeaways of this is

10131
03:29:09,133 --> 03:29:09,133
that this is a small component

10132
03:29:09,133 --> 03:29:12,133
that this is a small component

10133
03:29:12,133 --> 03:29:12,133
or increment of a larger

10134
03:29:12,133 --> 03:29:15,133
or increment of a larger

10135
03:29:15,133 --> 03:29:15,133
solution and also going to require

10136
03:29:15,133 --> 03:29:16,133
solution and also going to require

10137
03:29:16,133 --> 03:29:16,133
significant efforts

10138
03:29:16,133 --> 03:29:18,133
significant efforts

10139
03:29:21,133 --> 03:29:21,133
by others. It could be in the future the core

10140
03:29:21,133 --> 03:29:23,133
by others. It could be in the future the core

10141
03:29:23,133 --> 03:29:23,133
will be able to address this or completely,

10142
03:29:23,133 --> 03:29:26,133
will be able to address this or completely,

10143
03:29:26,133 --> 03:29:26,133
study authority remains so we could

10144
03:29:26,133 --> 03:29:27,133
study authority remains so we could

10145
03:29:27,133 --> 03:29:27,133
work

10146
03:29:27,133 --> 03:29:29,133
work

10147
03:29:30,133 --> 03:29:30,133
on it at a regional solution in the

10148
03:29:30,133 --> 03:29:31,133
on it at a regional solution in the

10149
03:29:31,133 --> 03:29:31,133
future

10150
03:29:31,133 --> 03:29:32,133
future

10151
03:29:32,133 --> 03:29:32,133
or others in the interim could do

10152
03:29:32,133 --> 03:29:33,133
or others in the interim could do

10153
03:29:33,133 --> 03:29:33,133
their

10154
03:29:33,133 --> 03:29:35,133
their

10155
03:29:39,133 --> 03:29:39,133
own studies. So

10156
03:29:39,133 --> 03:29:41,133
own studies. So

10157
03:29:42,133 --> 03:29:42,133
the internal project delivery team

10158
03:29:42,133 --> 03:29:43,133
the internal project delivery team

10159
03:29:43,133 --> 03:29:43,133
has

10160
03:29:43,133 --> 03:29:45,133
has

10161
03:29:45,133 --> 03:29:45,133
now been looking at

10162
03:29:45,133 --> 03:29:47,133
now been looking at

10163
03:29:47,133 --> 03:29:47,133
these smaller scale alternatives that

10164
03:29:47,133 --> 03:29:48,133
these smaller scale alternatives that

10165
03:29:48,133 --> 03:29:48,133
perhaps

10166
03:29:48,133 --> 03:29:50,133
perhaps

10167
03:29:52,133 --> 03:29:52,133
overlooked initially looking at a

10168
03:29:52,133 --> 03:29:55,133
overlooked initially looking at a

10169
03:29:56,133 --> 03:29:56,133
regional solution. So we've gone back

10170
03:29:56,133 --> 03:29:57,133
regional solution. So we've gone back

10171
03:29:57,133 --> 03:29:57,133
through some of the previous

10172
03:29:57,133 --> 03:29:59,133
through some of the previous

10173
03:29:59,133 --> 03:29:59,133
studies and options that are out there

10174
03:29:59,133 --> 03:30:00,133
studies and options that are out there

10175
03:30:00,133 --> 03:30:00,133
for some of the smaller

10176
03:30:00,133 --> 03:30:03,133
for some of the smaller

10177
03:30:03,133 --> 03:30:03,133
scale things on this

10178
03:30:03,133 --> 03:30:05,533
scale things on this

10179
03:30:06,133 --> 03:30:06,133
slide. So still an option,

10180
03:30:06,133 --> 03:30:09,133
slide. So still an option,

10181
03:30:09,133 --> 03:30:09,133
there have been other ideas for reservoirs

10182
03:30:09,133 --> 03:30:10,133
there have been other ideas for reservoirs

10183
03:30:10,133 --> 03:30:10,133
at

10184
03:30:10,133 --> 03:30:11,133
at

10185
03:30:11,133 --> 03:30:11,133
different locations and a different

10186
03:30:11,133 --> 03:30:12,133
different locations and a different

10187
03:30:12,133 --> 03:30:12,133
scale.

10188
03:30:12,133 --> 03:30:14,133
scale.

10189
03:30:15,133 --> 03:30:15,133
modifying

10190
03:30:15,133 --> 03:30:17,133
modifying

10191
03:30:17,133 --> 03:30:17,133
some reservoirs were looking at things

10192
03:30:17,133 --> 03:30:18,133
some reservoirs were looking at things

10193
03:30:18,133 --> 03:30:18,133
like connections that

10194
03:30:18,133 --> 03:30:20,133
like connections that

10195
03:30:21,133 --> 03:30:21,133
could provide increased resilience

10196
03:30:21,133 --> 03:30:22,133
could provide increased resilience

10197
03:30:22,133 --> 03:30:22,133
to the

10198
03:30:22,133 --> 03:30:24,133
to the

10199
03:30:28,133 --> 03:30:28,133
water supply. Through

10200
03:30:28,133 --> 03:30:29,133
water supply. Through

10201
03:30:29,133 --> 03:30:29,133
that review and also pending discussions

10202
03:30:29,133 --> 03:30:30,133
that review and also pending discussions

10203
03:30:30,133 --> 03:30:30,133
with utilities, we have a meeting

10204
03:30:30,133 --> 03:30:33,733
with utilities, we have a meeting

10205
03:30:34,133 --> 03:30:34,133
coming up on march 10th to

10206
03:30:34,133 --> 03:30:37,133
coming up on march 10th to

10207
03:30:37,133 --> 03:30:37,133
discuss this. At

10208
03:30:37,133 --> 03:30:38,133
discuss this. At

10209
03:30:38,133 --> 03:30:38,133
this point, dalecarlia reservoir expansion

10210
03:30:38,133 --> 03:30:40,133
this point, dalecarlia reservoir expansion

10211
03:30:40,133 --> 03:30:40,133
appears to be the most

10212
03:30:40,133 --> 03:30:43,133
appears to be the most

10213
03:30:43,133 --> 03:30:43,133
beneficial and

10214
03:30:43,133 --> 03:30:45,133
beneficial and

10215
03:30:46,133 --> 03:30:46,133
feasible alternative. The expansion

10216
03:30:46,133 --> 03:30:48,533
feasible alternative. The expansion

10217
03:30:49,133 --> 03:30:49,133
of dalecarlia reservoir

10218
03:30:49,133 --> 03:30:51,133
of dalecarlia reservoir

10219
03:30:51,133 --> 03:30:51,133
might double the size of the reservoir,

10220
03:30:51,133 --> 03:30:55,133
might double the size of the reservoir,

10221
03:30:55,133 --> 03:30:55,133
it would

10222
03:30:55,133 --> 03:30:57,133
it would

10223
03:30:58,133 --> 03:30:58,133
provide additional 12 hours of

10224
03:30:58,133 --> 03:30:59,133
provide additional 12 hours of

10225
03:30:59,133 --> 03:30:59,133
water supply to the washington aqueduct.

10226
03:30:59,133 --> 03:31:01,133
water supply to the washington aqueduct.

10227
03:31:01,133 --> 03:31:01,133
this is a

10228
03:31:01,133 --> 03:31:03,133
this is a

10229
03:31:03,133 --> 03:31:03,133
small contribution to the overall

10230
03:31:03,133 --> 03:31:04,133
small contribution to the overall

10231
03:31:04,133 --> 03:31:04,133
problem and we

10232
03:31:04,133 --> 03:31:06,133
problem and we

10233
03:31:06,133 --> 03:31:06,133
certainly recognize that. But it's

10234
03:31:06,133 --> 03:31:07,133
certainly recognize that. But it's

10235
03:31:07,133 --> 03:31:07,133
an increment that

10236
03:31:07,133 --> 03:31:09,133
an increment that

10237
03:31:10,133 --> 03:31:10,133
could still

10238
03:31:10,133 --> 03:31:12,133
could still

10239
03:31:13,133 --> 03:31:13,133
be meaningful. 12 hours is

10240
03:31:13,133 --> 03:31:14,133
be meaningful. 12 hours is

10241
03:31:14,133 --> 03:31:14,133
time in case of an emergency where

10242
03:31:14,133 --> 03:31:15,133
time in case of an emergency where

10243
03:31:15,133 --> 03:31:15,133
you could make notifications, you

10244
03:31:15,133 --> 03:31:18,133
you could make notifications, you

10245
03:31:18,133 --> 03:31:18,133
could prepare and mobilize resources.

10246
03:31:18,133 --> 03:31:19,133
could prepare and mobilize resources.

10247
03:31:19,133 --> 03:31:19,133
we do

10248
03:31:19,133 --> 03:31:21,133
we do

10249
03:31:22,133 --> 03:31:22,133
see this as being a meaningful but

10250
03:31:22,133 --> 03:31:23,133
see this as being a meaningful but

10251
03:31:23,133 --> 03:31:23,133
small contribution

10252
03:31:23,133 --> 03:31:25,133
small contribution

10253
03:31:25,133 --> 03:31:25,133
to the overall and larger

10254
03:31:25,133 --> 03:31:28,133
to the overall and larger

10255
03:31:28,133 --> 03:31:28,133
problem. If we do go with

10256
03:31:28,133 --> 03:31:31,133
problem. If we do go with

10257
03:31:31,133 --> 03:31:31,133
dalecarlia there

10258
03:31:31,133 --> 03:31:33,133
dalecarlia there

10259
03:31:34,133 --> 03:31:34,133
are considerations. Obviously

10260
03:31:34,133 --> 03:31:35,133
are considerations. Obviously

10261
03:31:35,133 --> 03:31:35,133
engineering considerations. We have

10262
03:31:35,133 --> 03:31:37,133
engineering considerations. We have

10263
03:31:37,133 --> 03:31:37,133
to pass various policy hurdles

10264
03:31:37,133 --> 03:31:40,133
to pass various policy hurdles

10265
03:31:40,133 --> 03:31:40,133
including doing a

10266
03:31:40,133 --> 03:31:42,133
including doing a

10267
03:31:44,133 --> 03:31:44,133
cost-benefit calculation for policy

10268
03:31:44,133 --> 03:31:46,133
cost-benefit calculation for policy

10269
03:31:46,133 --> 03:31:46,133
and of course there is

10270
03:31:46,133 --> 03:31:47,133
and of course there is

10271
03:31:47,133 --> 03:31:47,133
potential environmental and cultural

10272
03:31:47,133 --> 03:31:49,533
potential environmental and cultural

10273
03:31:52,133 --> 03:31:52,133
resource impacts. So needing to do

10274
03:31:52,133 --> 03:31:53,133
resource impacts. So needing to do

10275
03:31:53,133 --> 03:31:53,133
a lot of stakeholder and public involvement

10276
03:31:53,133 --> 03:31:55,133
a lot of stakeholder and public involvement

10277
03:31:55,133 --> 03:31:55,133
engagement along

engagement along

10279
03:31:58,133 --> 03:31:58,133
those lines.

10280
03:31:58,133 --> 03:32:00,133
those lines.

really generous of the army

10340
03:33:04,133 --> 03:33:07,133
really generous of the army

10341
03:33:07,133 --> 03:33:07,133
corps to brief us. This

10342
03:33:07,133 --> 03:33:10,133
corps to brief us. This

10343
03:33:10,133 --> 03:33:10,133
is all I hadn't heard about

10344
03:33:10,133 --> 03:33:12,133
is all I hadn't heard about

10345
03:33:12,133 --> 03:33:12,133
these changes in the guidelines. It's

10346
03:33:12,133 --> 03:33:13,133
these changes in the guidelines. It's

10347
03:33:13,133 --> 03:33:13,133
very alarming and

10348
03:33:13,133 --> 03:33:15,133
very alarming and

10349
03:33:16,133 --> 03:33:16,133
incredibly disappointing. It

10350
03:33:16,133 --> 03:33:18,133
incredibly disappointing. It

10351
03:33:19,133 --> 03:33:19,133
seems these

10352
03:33:19,133 --> 03:33:20,133
seems these

10353
03:33:20,133 --> 03:33:20,133
small practices to make additional

10354
03:33:20,133 --> 03:33:22,133
small practices to make additional

10355
03:33:22,133 --> 03:33:22,133
12 hours I think that

10356
03:33:22,133 --> 03:33:24,533
12 hours I think that

10357
03:33:25,133 --> 03:33:25,133
is just in the district of columbia

10358
03:33:25,133 --> 03:33:26,133
is just in the district of columbia

10359
03:33:26,133 --> 03:33:26,133
that wouldn't support wssc at all.

10360
03:33:26,133 --> 03:33:29,733
that wouldn't support wssc at all.

10361
03:33:30,133 --> 03:33:30,133
so it seems like we are not on any

10362
03:33:30,133 --> 03:33:31,133
so it seems like we are not on any

10363
03:33:31,133 --> 03:33:31,133
type of path at

10364
03:33:31,133 --> 03:33:33,133
type of path at

10365
03:33:33,133 --> 03:33:33,133
all to maybe addressing the serious

10366
03:33:33,133 --> 03:33:34,133
all to maybe addressing the serious

10367
03:33:34,133 --> 03:33:34,133
and

10368
03:33:34,133 --> 03:33:36,133
and

10369
03:33:40,133 --> 03:33:40,133
ongoing concern. I don't

10370
03:33:40,133 --> 03:33:42,133
ongoing concern. I don't

10371
03:33:42,133 --> 03:33:42,133
know how we get back on that path

10372
03:33:42,133 --> 03:33:43,133
know how we get back on that path

10373
03:33:43,133 --> 03:33:43,133
if there is any opportunities

10374
03:33:43,133 --> 03:33:46,133
if there is any opportunities

10375
03:33:46,133 --> 03:33:46,133
to engage or restart

10376
03:33:46,133 --> 03:33:48,533
to engage or restart

10377
03:33:51,133 --> 03:33:51,133
conversations. But it's incredibly

10378
03:33:51,133 --> 03:33:52,133
conversations. But it's incredibly

10379
03:33:52,133 --> 03:33:52,133
disappointing

10380
03:33:52,133 --> 03:33:54,133
disappointing

10381
03:33:55,133 --> 03:33:55,133
and alarming.

10382
03:33:55,133 --> 03:33:56,133
and alarming.

10383
03:33:56,133 --> 03:33:56,133
>> there has

10384
03:33:56,133 --> 03:33:57,133
>> there has

10385
03:33:57,133 --> 03:33:57,133
been a lot of congressional interest

10386
03:33:57,133 --> 03:33:58,133
been a lot of congressional interest

10387
03:33:58,133 --> 03:33:58,133
so we are

10388
03:33:58,133 --> 03:34:00,133
so we are

10389
03:34:00,133 --> 03:34:00,133
keep an eye on that and what comes

10390
03:34:00,133 --> 03:34:04,133
keep an eye on that and what comes

10391
03:34:04,133 --> 03:34:04,133
from that. We have also been speaking

10392
03:34:04,133 --> 03:34:07,133
from that. We have also been speaking

10393
03:34:07,133 --> 03:34:07,133
with utilities and we will do more

10394
03:34:07,133 --> 03:34:08,133
with utilities and we will do more

10395
03:34:08,133 --> 03:34:08,133
at this meeting

at this meeting

10397
03:34:10,133 --> 03:34:10,133
we have in march about a way that

10398
03:34:10,133 --> 03:34:13,133
we have in march about a way that

10399
03:34:13,133 --> 03:34:13,133
the utilities themselves could

10400
03:34:13,133 --> 03:34:14,133
the utilities themselves could

10401
03:34:14,133 --> 03:34:14,133
conduct these studies under the section

10402
03:34:14,133 --> 03:34:17,733
conduct these studies under the section

10403
03:34:18,133 --> 03:34:18,133
203 authority and send you more information

10404
03:34:18,133 --> 03:34:19,133
203 authority and send you more information

10405
03:34:19,133 --> 03:34:19,133
on that which

10406
03:34:19,133 --> 03:34:20,133
on that which

10407
03:34:20,133 --> 03:34:20,133
is an authority that allows nonfederal

10408
03:34:20,133 --> 03:34:22,133
is an authority that allows nonfederal

03:34:22,133 --> 03:34:22,133
entities to conduct a

10410
03:34:22,133 --> 03:34:24,533
entities to conduct a

10411
03:34:25,133 --> 03:34:25,133
study with army

study with army

10413
03:34:28,133 --> 03:34:28,133
corps assistance. And that results

10414
03:34:28,133 --> 03:34:29,133
corps assistance. And that results

10415
03:34:29,133 --> 03:34:29,133
in

10416
03:34:29,133 --> 03:34:31,133
in

10417
03:34:31,133 --> 03:34:31,133
a chief report which is the same as

03:34:31,133 --> 03:34:34,133
a chief report which is the same as

10419
03:34:34,133 --> 03:34:34,133
what the study would result in.

10420
03:34:34,133 --> 03:34:35,133
what the study would result in.

10421
03:34:35,133 --> 03:34:35,133
the difference being the nonfederal

end. There

10428
03:34:41,133 --> 03:34:43,133
end. There

10429
03:34:43,133 --> 03:34:43,133
are ways that others

10430
03:34:43,133 --> 03:34:45,533
are ways that others

10431
03:34:46,133 --> 03:34:46,133
could conduct this work and we

10432
03:34:46,133 --> 03:34:49,133
could conduct this work and we

10433
03:34:49,133 --> 03:34:49,133
could support the absence of

03:34:49,133 --> 03:34:51,133
could support the absence of

10435
03:34:51,133 --> 03:34:51,133
not being able to do that ourselves

10436
03:34:51,133 --> 03:34:52,133
not being able to do that ourselves

10437
03:34:52,133 --> 03:34:52,133
and we can provide more information

10438
03:34:52,133 --> 03:34:53,133
and we can provide more information

10439
03:34:53,133 --> 03:34:53,133
on that.

10440
03:34:53,133 --> 03:34:55,133
on that.

10441
03:34:55,133 --> 03:34:55,133
>> I'd be interested. I

10442
03:34:55,133 --> 03:34:56,133
>> I'd be interested. I

10443
03:34:56,133 --> 03:34:56,133
imagine my commissioners would be

imagine my commissioners would be

10445
03:35:01,133 --> 03:35:01,133

03:35:01,133 --> 03:35:04,133
as well. That secondary path where

10447
03:35:04,133 --> 03:35:04,133
we potentially do

10448
03:35:04,133 --> 03:35:06,133
we potentially do

10449
03:35:07,133 --> 03:35:07,133
their own

their own

10451
03:35:10,133 --> 03:35:10,133
visibility studies. It is

10452
03:35:10,133 --> 03:35:12,533
visibility studies. It is

10453
03:35:13,133 --> 03:35:13,133
called a

and then would

10460
03:35:19,133 --> 03:35:21,133
and then would

10461
03:35:22,133 --> 03:35:22,133
get authorization and

10462
03:35:22,133 --> 03:35:24,133
get authorization and

if

10481
03:35:40,133 --> 03:35:40,133
I may. I just wanted to provide a

10482

I may. I just wanted to provide a

10483
03:35:41,133 --> 03:35:41,133
bit

10484
03:35:41,133 --> 03:35:43,133
bit

10485
03:35:43,133 --> 03:35:43,133
more perspective as well. And thank

10486
03:35:43,133 --> 03:35:44,133
more perspective as well. And thank

10487
03:35:44,133 --> 03:35:44,133
the

10488
03:35:44,133 --> 03:35:45,133
the

10489
03:35:45,133 --> 03:35:45,133
army corps of engineers and I do want

10490
03:35:45,133 --> 03:35:46,133
army corps of engineers and I do want

10491
03:35:46,133 --> 03:35:46,133
to

10492
03:35:46,133 --> 03:35:48,133
to

10493
03:35:49,133 --> 03:35:49,133
say that the feedback that I've

10494
03:35:49,133 --> 03:35:52,133
say that the feedback that I've

10495
03:35:52,133 --> 03:35:52,133
received from the corps including

10496
03:35:52,133 --> 03:35:53,133
received from the corps including

10497
03:35:53,133 --> 03:35:53,133
the

10498
03:35:53,133 --> 03:35:55,133
the

10499
03:35:55,133 --> 03:35:55,133
kernel is that the corps is

10500
03:35:55,133 --> 03:35:58,133
kernel is that the corps is

10501
03:35:58,133 --> 03:35:58,133
very much supportive of finding

10502
03:35:58,133 --> 03:36:00,133
very much supportive of finding

10503
03:36:00,133 --> 03:36:00,133
a solution, focusing on a solution

10504
03:36:00,133 --> 03:36:01,133
a solution, focusing on a solution

10505
03:36:01,133 --> 03:36:01,133
for

10506
03:36:01,133 --> 03:36:03,133
for

10507
03:36:05,133 --> 03:36:05,133
the

10508
03:36:05,133 --> 03:36:06,133
the

10509
03:36:06,133 --> 03:36:06,133
region. Just maybe in different roles

10510
03:36:06,133 --> 03:36:08,133
region. Just maybe in different roles

10511
03:36:08,133 --> 03:36:08,133
and responsibilities in

10512
03:36:08,133 --> 03:36:10,133
and responsibilities in

10513
03:36:11,133 --> 03:36:11,133
this process.

10514
03:36:11,133 --> 03:36:12,133
this process.

10515
03:36:12,133 --> 03:36:12,133
just to provide some perspective how

10516
03:36:12,133 --> 03:36:14,133
just to provide some perspective how

10517
03:36:14,133 --> 03:36:14,133
we got to

10518
03:36:14,133 --> 03:36:16,133
we got to

10519
03:36:16,133 --> 03:36:16,133
this point we made a decision as a

10520
03:36:16,133 --> 03:36:17,133
this point we made a decision as a

10521
03:36:17,133 --> 03:36:17,133
region

10522
03:36:17,133 --> 03:36:19,133
region

10523
03:36:20,133 --> 03:36:20,133
to get

10524
03:36:20,133 --> 03:36:22,133
to get

10525
03:36:22,133 --> 03:36:22,133
this into for funding for the study

10526
03:36:22,133 --> 03:36:23,133
this into for funding for the study

10527
03:36:23,133 --> 03:36:23,133
first and

10528
03:36:23,133 --> 03:36:25,133
first and

10529
03:36:26,133 --> 03:36:26,133
then hopefully the funding

10530
03:36:26,133 --> 03:36:28,533
then hopefully the funding

10531
03:36:29,133 --> 03:36:29,133
for

10532
03:36:29,133 --> 03:36:31,133
for

10533
03:36:31,133 --> 03:36:31,133
the construction. That required us

10534
03:36:31,133 --> 03:36:32,133
the construction. That required us

10535
03:36:32,133 --> 03:36:32,133
to

10536
03:36:32,133 --> 03:36:33,133
to

10537
03:36:33,133 --> 03:36:33,133
go back and do a feasibility study.

10538
03:36:33,133 --> 03:36:35,133
go back and do a feasibility study.

10539
03:36:35,133 --> 03:36:35,133
because we had to go through

10540
03:36:35,133 --> 03:36:38,133
because we had to go through

10541
03:36:38,133 --> 03:36:38,133
that process in order to

10542
03:36:38,133 --> 03:36:41,133
that process in order to

10543
03:36:41,133 --> 03:36:41,133
access funds. We have

10544
03:36:41,133 --> 03:36:42,133
access funds. We have

10545
03:36:42,133 --> 03:36:42,133
a lot of information at our disposal

10546
03:36:42,133 --> 03:36:45,133
a lot of information at our disposal

10547
03:36:45,133 --> 03:36:45,133
that basically we had to rework to

10548
03:36:45,133 --> 03:36:47,133
that basically we had to rework to

10549
03:36:47,133 --> 03:36:47,133
use this source of

10550
03:36:47,133 --> 03:36:49,533
use this source of

10551
03:36:50,133 --> 03:36:50,133
funding. So

10552
03:36:50,133 --> 03:36:52,133
funding. So

10553
03:36:53,133 --> 03:36:53,133
I don't think we are

10554
03:36:53,133 --> 03:36:55,133
I don't think we are

10555
03:36:55,133 --> 03:36:55,133
necessarily behind. The region is

10556
03:36:55,133 --> 03:36:56,133
necessarily behind. The region is

10557
03:36:56,133 --> 03:36:56,133
still working

10558
03:36:56,133 --> 03:36:57,133
still working

10559
03:36:57,133 --> 03:36:57,133
together to look at how we advance

10560
03:36:57,133 --> 03:37:01,133
together to look at how we advance

10561
03:37:01,133 --> 03:37:01,133
and now shift essentially back to

10562
03:37:01,133 --> 03:37:04,733
and now shift essentially back to

10563
03:37:05,133 --> 03:37:05,133
the

10564
03:37:05,133 --> 03:37:07,133
the

10565
03:37:08,133 --> 03:37:08,133
approach before. We would

10566
03:37:08,133 --> 03:37:10,133
approach before. We would

10567
03:37:10,133 --> 03:37:10,133
still like to have external funds

10568
03:37:10,133 --> 03:37:11,133
still like to have external funds

10569
03:37:11,133 --> 03:37:11,133
but biggest

10570
03:37:11,133 --> 03:37:12,133
but biggest

10571
03:37:12,133 --> 03:37:12,133
concern is having the funding for

10572
03:37:12,133 --> 03:37:14,133
concern is having the funding for

10573
03:37:14,133 --> 03:37:14,133
construction and building

10574
03:37:14,133 --> 03:37:16,133
construction and building

10575
03:37:20,133 --> 03:37:20,133
the solution. I

10576
03:37:20,133 --> 03:37:22,133
the solution. I

10577
03:37:23,133 --> 03:37:23,133
think we have been having some

10578
03:37:23,133 --> 03:37:25,133
think we have been having some

10579
03:37:25,133 --> 03:37:25,133
recent discussions as late as late

10580
03:37:25,133 --> 03:37:26,133
recent discussions as late as late

10581
03:37:26,133 --> 03:37:26,133
last week to talk about how

10582
03:37:26,133 --> 03:37:28,133
last week to talk about how

10583
03:37:28,133 --> 03:37:28,133
we would advance to get through design

10584
03:37:28,133 --> 03:37:32,133
we would advance to get through design

10585
03:37:32,133 --> 03:37:32,133
which is more

10586
03:37:32,133 --> 03:37:34,133
which is more

10587
03:37:35,133 --> 03:37:35,133
manageable and

10588
03:37:35,133 --> 03:37:37,133
manageable and

10589
03:37:38,133 --> 03:37:38,133
getting

10590
03:37:38,133 --> 03:37:40,133
getting

10591
03:37:41,133 --> 03:37:41,133
things to a chiefs report

10592
03:37:41,133 --> 03:37:44,133
things to a chiefs report

10593
03:37:44,133 --> 03:37:44,133
that could then be eligible for

10594
03:37:44,133 --> 03:37:47,133
that could then be eligible for

10595
03:37:47,133 --> 03:37:47,133
construction funding. So we are

10596
03:37:47,133 --> 03:37:50,133
construction funding. So we are

10597
03:37:50,133 --> 03:37:50,133
still working together

10598
03:37:50,133 --> 03:37:52,133
still working together

10599
03:37:53,133 --> 03:37:53,133
just may be in different

10600
03:37:53,133 --> 03:37:56,133
just may be in different

10601
03:37:59,133 --> 03:37:59,133
ways. And from a water

10609
03:38:08,133 --> 03:38:08,133
underscores the need to make

10610
03:38:08,133 --> 03:38:09,133
underscores the need to make

10611
03:38:09,133 --> 03:38:09,133
sure that if there are any impacts

10612
03:38:09,133 --> 03:38:11,133
sure that if there are any impacts

10613
03:38:11,133 --> 03:38:11,133
to the river

10614
03:38:11,133 --> 03:38:13,133
to the river

10615
03:38:14,133 --> 03:38:14,133
that we have the

10616
03:38:14,133 --> 03:38:16,533
that we have the

10617
03:38:17,133 --> 03:38:17,133
ability to have a source that

10618
03:38:17,133 --> 03:38:20,133
ability to have a source that

10619
03:38:20,133 --> 03:38:20,133
is protected. So we will

10620
03:38:20,133 --> 03:38:23,133
is protected. So we will

10621
03:38:23,133 --> 03:38:23,133
continue

10622
03:38:23,133 --> 03:38:25,133
continue

10623
03:38:26,133 --> 03:38:26,133
that focus.

10624
03:38:26,133 --> 03:38:27,133

for more , reusing that

10739
03:40:20,133 --> 03:40:20,133
water. So we are
