we took an issue iing in the urts aook that off of the uncertainty side and made it have a certaielatiohi th we're reexamining wheth we shou go back and o il trabs not from the stce of a quality standpoint but two o to threyears we diverthe ater the operator the ability to not ve thawr. so that in the fure they have more sety in what they'r ing be abtodoto nager the stem. u ought to be pulling apart your systemssee th person that has to make he decisions every d. what can yopvide tem with tools omke those decision we ave tempary pumping on the reservoir.loatedot

is people trying to solve my problems for me to invest in today to solve something 30 or 40 years from now and to make huge capitol investments today might not be t right approach and you need to all look at that in our own utilities. we need to react and not over-react and do things that don't make sense and cause our rate payer as lot of sense and are not going to contribute to solveg the problem. we're going to get lot more information year by years we go forwar finay i would really reiterate what you real need to do is try and get control overall those things you know you can conttst
