lots of different thing to make sure that we can stretch the city's water supply as far as possible. so for the hetch hetchy regional water system, we have a couple of drought relief projects that we're working on, primarily revolving around use of water for cherry re or. ~ [speaker not understood] cherry lake not normally used for drinking water supply. they're only there as a stand by supply. we can take water from cherry through a conveyance called the lower cherry aqueduct and bring it into our supply system. that water then has to be filtered at the sunol valley treatment plant unlike hetch hetchy which does not have to be filtered. lower cherry was built in 1914. here is a photo portion of that. it is largely an open channel and what damaged in the rim fire. so, we're engaged in a project to actually rehabilitate the lower cherry acwe edit so we

can bring water of a good quality down to the system and deliver it to the bay area ~. that back up supply could become valuable a the drought continues on into the future. so, we have one contract with flat iron, west for the rehabilitation project on the lower cherry aqueduct. once we get the water to the bay area we have to do some minor improvements at the san antonio pump station, chemical piping improvements. these projects were on our books going forward to do in the capital program over the next two to three years. but to make sure we can fully reliably filter the water from the lower cherry aqueduct we need to make improvement in each short order as well ~. we have a contract with monterey mechanical to perform those improvements. together these give us access to an extra 200,000 acre feet of supply, which is almost a whole 'nother year of water that we could have to rely on

if drought continues in the future. and i'm happy to answer any questions about these. >> thank you very much. no comments or questions. mr. rose, why don't we go to your report on both items, please. >> yes, mr. chairman. supervisor mar. on page 23, we note that the total project budget for the lower cherry aqueduct project is 18,$100,000 and that includes 14 million for the contract ~ and 4.1 million for the associated project costs and that's shown in table 4 on page 23. and then regarding the sunol valley water treatment plant, the total project budget is 8,5 13,000. and that's shown on page 24 which includes the not to exceed 5,137 contract and 3 million 376,000 for the associated project costs ~. and again, that's in l
