Into our reservoirs than getting ready for some mythical flood. We are looking for ways to ensure water in the best way we can. Nothing more we can do . There is always a little bit more. The residue voice reservoirs is where we are going to make our big effort and being able to store it is big. It gets used fairly quickly so it needs to be constantly fed or you need a big storage reservoir. I just wanted to point out thats why we are in better position than a lot of other Water Utilities because we are depending on storage and as calaveras comes along well have more storage and the interesting thing when you talk about Climate Change, a lot of people dont think Climate Change is here but they do agree that there is changes in the weather pattern. So we just go with that and i think one of the things that emilio pointed out in previous conversations is in the last couple years we had two 5 25year flood and hundred year flood while we are in a drought.

But we really had a big early in water year 2013 which happened in november and december of 2012. So is there something we can do to capture that rain to be smarter in the event we start seeing these patterns and when it dries up early on at least weve put out our barrels and being able to capture the best we can . Yes, we are moving forward to revitalize the rain and water enter prize and in terms of our reservoirs we operate them conservatively each year and right now we are more interested in getting water into our reservoirs than getting ready for some mythical flood.

Collect it and storage is the way you can manage it and look for more storage. Thats why we look at the ground water projects of replenishing ground water so when we have it, we have another form of storage. We charge the ground water. The storage that we can use in dry years, something that will be there when we most need it. Mr. Kelly, to clarify that, im a really big advocate of storage, however thats done is another thing. I just want to clarify that. Dully noted. Im going to call for Public Comment at the end of your report. Okay. I have one other is the pg e green tariff. We wanted an update.
