What we don't talk about is the activities going on to convey sewage to the wastewater plant to be treated. You know, we have uh 20 MGD wastewater plant that has the ability to treat 20 million gallons a day. We treat 10 million gallons a day of sewage that uh is a regional wastewater treatment plant. Uh we have 12 large industries. I can see it all side right down there. This one, yep. So what we want to talk about today is the activities as it relates to sanitary sewer collection system. So we flow 10 million gallons of sewage every day to the wastewater plant. We have 205 miles of sanitary sewer pipe that we maintain and clean.
