You know, there's only so much room to put all of your underground utilities. So our sanitary sewer lines and our drinking water lines sometimes are in close proximity. But the big safety measure there is the fact that drinking water is pressurized and that keeps anything from getting into it.

Now, occasionally you have incidents where you lose pressure, you have waterman breaks or mechanical failures. So that's where you worry about the wastewater side of things, or even just shallow groundwater that may be tainted with microorganisms getting into your water supply.

And so there exists lots of procedures to detect those issues and that's when you get those boil water advisories and the non-drink advisories till the problem can be solved and system can be flushed and repaired and lots of sampling takes place to ensure that there are no bacteria showing up and then people can go back to using their water.

So that's the big source of concern is just the bacteria from the outside environment getting into what's essentially a closed and sanitized system, which is your public water supplies, the conveyance for that. There are pathogens that can... live in drinking water systems. And again, there's a number of measures to counteract that.

A properly maintained public water system where the water is moving, is not stagnant, is flushed properly, is not a conducive environment for opportunistic pathogens like Legionella, for instance, very specific conditions have to come together. And usually that's because of a poorly maintained system.

So again, there's multiple ways through which you monitor that to make sure that those conditions never come to exist, where you can have an opportunistic pathogen like Legionella take hold. So in a public water system and kind of closed system that it is, you know, those are kind of the primary things you worry about. It's just bacteria, which is, you know,

So in a public water system and kind of closed system that it is, you know, those are kind of the primary things you worry about. It's just bacteria, which is, you know,

all pervasive and present everywhere and the opportunity pathogens. And there's just a host of safety mechanisms in place where those conditions that could be favorable are detected early and fixed. So again, the public water system is very adept at ensuring that waterborne disease doesn't take hold and doesn't propagate through a public water system.

The future in Minnesota is good. We can be hopeful that it's going to be a stable future where both quantity and quality can be sustained. And that again goes back to what we're blessed with for natural resources and then the Then the regulatory and administrative environment that exists, investments that have been made and will continue to be made on the infrastructure side.

And the fact that in Minnesota, we recognize the value of water. By and large, it's a... It's something that cuts across party lines and any other kinds of differences. We may have other things. There's no one questions the value and importance of water to not just everyday life, but to industry and commerce. So, you know, it kind of cuts across all of those things.

So I think this is a state that does recognize the value of water, does recognize the importance to keep making those investments. And we have the national factors working in our favor so far in terms of our resources and resources. So, you know, that, of course, is something that will have to be watched.
