And it was there that I found out that he was involved with water. And we had this fascinating conversation about water and what's happening here in Minnesota. And so it's been probably close to 10 years that we've been talking about having another conversation about water. And so today we are honored that Dave and his colleagues are here.

I just want to tell you, Dave is the assistant manager of the drinking water protection section at MDH. We also have Anna Sleep. She is the lead in drinking water coordinator for the drinking water protection program at MDH. We have Sandy Berman. He is a current drinking water administrator for the state of Minnesota. We have Alicia Overbow.

We have Alicia Overbow.

She's a supervisor of the communication and strategic initiative unit at MDH. We got some really special people here. And we're going to be talking about something that when I first started talking to Stan about this, I started talking about this issue around liquid gold. Because there's so many articles in the paper that's talking about water. And we're here in the land of 10,000 lakes, right?

And it should be that we don't have any water problems. But I think it was a time for us to have a great conversation about this issue. So with that, Stan, I'm going to turn it back over to you, because I know that you have a lot of questions to answer or to ask our colleagues here.

Yeah. You know, I am excited about having you both on this program, and the reason for that is that I know Stan started off talking about the toxicity of water and what's going on in the world. Can you give us kind of an overview of what's happening here in Minnesota as it relates to water? Because I think that part of it is that, again, we are in a place where there is a lot of water.

We see a lot of water around us. But every time we turn on the news, we hear about places like Flint, Michigan and other kinds of places where there's some real issues. We hear about other places in the world where they're having problems with water. And I think that many people are interested in... learning about what is good water.

And, you know, sometimes when the water comes out, it's brown, those kinds of things. So let's talk about water. Let's talk about its vitalness and why is it important. And I like what Stan said. Stan talked about the dogs. That's also part of public health as well. So just so you know that. Yeah. But let's talk about water. What's the state of water in Minnesota?

Thank you. Anna, I want to ask you a question though. Even though Sandeep's talked about how great the water supply is here, a lot of folks are drinking bottled water, A lot of people are not, you know, so I know in your position, drinking water, what's going on with the bottled water?

Because I think that's also a concern for a lot of people, even though, you know, you say that we have safe water. A lot of people are drinking bottled water. I've got three brands in my office right now. What's up with that? Why are we so concerned about water?

So Anna, let me ask you this question. What do we really, really need to know about water and the supply? What do we really, really need to know? I mean, because everybody assumes water is just a, you know, just like, oh, well, it's just water. But what do we really, really need to know about water and the supply?
