How much of a difference would that actually make to get them involved in that as well?

I think the way it's been described is it's certainly a drop in the bucket.

Boulder City is a small town, but the more customers that can be tapped into the system that takes every drop of water that we use indoors and puts it back into Lake Mead, that's, I think, a plus.

We're talking about not a huge amount of water, but I think every bit helps.

And that's certainly being reflected as the water managers across the West kind of argue about the water that we have available to us.

I think there's been a general maybe I don't know, disillusionment among folks in the basin, just that these folks that are in these rooms talking and arguing, you know, state to state, aren't really looking toward those solutions.

I think that's something that's been frustrating as well.

But that's obviously in discussions in Southern California, right? Can you explain to us a bit about what desalination actually is and how that would maybe impact us if they do get that rolling in Southern California?

that? I hear nothing.

That's that's that's not fair.

You know, I think it's been the same story for the past.

two three years the seven states can't agree there's the upper basin and the lower basin right um and basically what happens then is the federal government gets to decide for them and uh there's a lot of worry about that because that could lead to a lawsuit that uh delays any progress being made at all while we're in this huge drought um so as soon as monday we could be seeing what they call the federal or the final environmental impact statement which we're is going to give us an indication of where the federal government is leaning on this.

The lower basin has a proposal on the table that's been pretty popular.

And it could mean some pretty significant cuts for us here in Southern Nevada in addition to California and Arizona.

And so tell me some details about this desalinization agreement we have with Southern California.

Absolutely.
