Thank you, Mr. Chairman. We're aware of the concern that's been raised in Fort McPherson with regard to the water quality this spring and we know of the concern locally. As it was reported previously in the Assembly, the department has in its capital plan for 1997-98, $40,000 to do planning work related to the water supply in Fort McPherson. What we would propose to do as a department, though, given the concerns that have been raised and the urgency and priority that's being placed on this project, would be to advance that work to this fiscal year so that we can, sooner than later, look at the options that are available. In spite of the fact that the treated water coming from the treatment plant does meet the drinking water standards, we do want to respond to the concerns that have been raised on the Fort McPherson water supply.
