critical dry weather facilities must be online within 72 hours of a major earthquake. this is built around the fact that we have three days worth of dry weather storage in our system. this would enable us to check, inspect, repair and get back online. it will require that we do seismic upgrades at some of our pump stations and increase in wet wells. selection system improvements and seismic system upgrades and treatment plant improvements. and the map that we have put together, it highlights all of the locations of all of the different projects, we have upgrades that would be occurring at ocean side, the channel tunnel, which runs from -- north point facility, upgrades at southeast, back flow prevention and the new treasure island plant. so this is a fairly comprehensive list of projects when you think about compliance on this list that makes up about 3.7 to 4.7 billion worth of the cost. in 2010 dollars that is 2.2 to 2.7. the reason for doing those projects is maintaining compliance during all conditions, having reliable dry and wet weather treatments, protecting pub
