3:08

Anybody have anything they want to?

3:12

Um I just wanted to follow up because I know we talked a little bit about water and how how subdivisions are approved and you know, assured water supplies and um I you know I don't know.

3:27

I've I've looked and I've looked at DWR too.

3:30

I mean, I've researched.

3:32

I guess I'm just I'm trying to better understand just how the town looks at new subdivisions when it comes to water usage.

3:40

And if an assured water supply is required by DWR or by the town, but just how do we as we as we all know we're continuing to grow?

3:50

Um and I'm just I have that background, so I'm just concerned about how do we address water concerns.

3:58

Would you like that to be presented at our next meeting, or would you just like communication on that?

4:04

I think communication is fine.

4:05

I mean, I knew I think the last time we talked, we talked about having Tanner come.

4:10

You know, everybody's busy.

4:11

Um, if there's a place that you if there's a link that you can just send me to, I'm happy to research it myself.

4:19

I just wanted to better understand as we know we're gonna get more of those applications.

4:26

Thanks.

4:26

Is it okay if I comment on that?

4:29

Can I first I think you know I don't know for sure, but Tanner would probably say that there's not a lot of concern because of our 3,000 acre feet that we're supposed to receive a year, and if we're not taking our allotment of that CC Craig, then we may lose it.

4:53

So real I'm another subdivision, maybe a positive thing as far as our future water rights go.

5:00

Yeah, and and I don't want to be anything that a subdivision is not positive, it's just it's my background, so I I just want to make sure I understood what the process was on reviewing and approving.

5:13

Did uh Nicole does DWR have to approve every subdivision water source?

5:19

Yeah, there's a lot of steps that the I'm sorry, Michelle.

5:23

Michelle, we can barely hear you.

5:25

Here we go again.
