Ill be happy to answer them commissioners mr. Vice president. How does when the water comes down from cherry and has to be filtered does it come down in a separate way or conditional. Water goes through cherry tunnel down to the powerhouse we generate with that the lower cherry aqueduct moves it down to the river my it is discharged into cherry creek and flows down pedro that feeds on don pedro but the water bank only does us good if were down country so if were not getting water down we wouldnt get any water supply benefit.
