Water once they understood where it comes from. But also as people had Water Quality concerns, some of the concerns that christina alluded to in her presentation, people started calling 311 more. So, we had a 10 increase in Water Quality concerns and that again became another vehicle to talk to people about where their water came from to test to make sure the water was safe and assure them that, you know, in fact it was safe to drink. We also do tours of our water system. So, Community Residents...

One outcome of that is anecdotally, people told us that they started to drink more water once they understood where it comes from.
