mr. harrington said, we are asking for the repayment under the new contract of $20 million, 5 million from the old account under the old contract, and the new balance of $15 million. that is $20 million projected. $40 million that would be due from the customers at the end of this year. the wholesale water sales are 150 million gallons per day as sold. i will show you recent trends, a few slides. we do not have a crystal ball, but neither do our wholesale customers. we're always trying to figure out the most reasonable estimate. this assumes a slight reduction, however not as much of a reduction as we have seen. on average, it has been 4.5% lower on wholesale demand. we heard earlier today that even in the current year we are down another 4.7% on top of previous down years. in addition to that, we have provided an insurance mechanism that in the event that we are wrong -- because we do not have a crystal ball -- that we will have a trigger mechanism to say even if we are below the prior 1990's ration level, if by a longshot we are wrong, we will have a trigger mechanism to be calibrates ra

mr. harrington, do you want to add anything? >> i knothink the good news is t we surveyed people two years ago before we knew much about it. we've been anxious to see what people think about it. we're far enough in the design to come up with more detail and get more information. the great news is that there is a good number of people who really want to have a green product. what is really nice for marketing it is that the difference between 40% rps and 100% of everything was really very close. saying you can be worn under% renewable and greenhouse gas three is a much easier thing to market. it is much more straightforward. it is something people are willing to buy into as a simple thing. that is a great piece of news. the other thing to keep in mind is that we were asking people what they would prefer to do if given a piece of paper with three boxes on it. people would opt in unless they make a decision. -- people would be adoptopted in unless they make a decision. there were be a certain amount of inertia involved. >-- there wo
