We're saying 25%, and if we're talking about Iceworm, saying they'll pay 25% of whatever their usage is. We know it's not going to be $40,000 because we as a city can't support that type of usage, and they may not have the demand for that where they're at today. Um, so likely it'll be less than whatever we're showing here, 40,000 homes. Um, but that X— that also then means that their participants do not need to show that they have a SWAMPass, and, and I support that. I, I actually really support that because that then takes some burden off of staff or anyone else to show and prove that they have these things.
