Someone i wont name, but asked me how i endured it . And the answer about how i have endured it is that its such an honor and privilege to work in an area that is so essential. Both for people, and for the environment, and for the planet. So i have considered that an honor and a privilege. I particularly want to thank Senior Management of the puc for supporting the work that i have done in workforce reliability. Because at this point, mr. Harlan was referring to bay work that is 27 different agencies that are collaborating together. And the took a huge lead role in this and Ed Harrington called the first Strategic Planning meeting. His support as a senior manager of a major utility really set a tone for success for that and its progressively grown. Steve ritchie, who has been supervisoring my work has been very supportive and Harlan Kelley and one outcome of this is that the bay work model, there actually isnt anything else in california like it. There is nothing else in the nation lik
Releases were about three times that much. So really water is coming in a little bit of water is coming in, but more than that is flowing out of the system. So, in fact, were releasing about 500 cubic feet per second above our full natural flow. So more water is coming out of our system than the river tully actually would provide at this time of year. So if we receive a curtialment notice of effect the flow is already going down the river. So in summary, again, dry year, but hetchy has been doing good. Water bank has worked well for us. As i reported last time, if we have a really dry year, we could run out. Conservation is still [stkropbg ] and systemwide demand hasnt been this low since 197677. Happy to answer any questions . I have one question about the water bank. What is the general plan about the water bank . Do we have certain dates or certain amounts that have to be in the water bank . How does that work well, the two are 570 acre feet is the full capacity and we cant go below
Contracting to make sure all of our interests are protected. Can i make one suggestion to the information that you asked for you asked for the high and low bids and you also want the winning bid, which may not necessarily be the low bid okay. Taking that into consideration there are other issues, too. The initial bid is different from the final bid. Its probably what i am trying to get at is our history with engineering estimates. How they comport with the market . Because people bid what they bid for all different kinds of reasons. In some cases they just know that they have a strong position and can charge more and in other cases they really need the work and will bid less or the cost of materials goes down or they have a good supplier or whatever it is. So there are a lot of reasons for variation in there and i want to test of the proposition that an engineering estimate can be an effective costcontrol mechanism. Understand. Thank you. That concludes my comments. Any other comments
