That leads me to think that because largely this is driven about from the development over off Nash Road, that's city property, right? So we had talked as a city or as a council about, I think, former fire chief have talked about possibly having— needing a tanker truck. Do we get in a position where if we allow these kind of alternative systems for water to exist, do we put ourselves in a position where we are going to be responsible for buying a tanker truck to meet the needs of that area? So within the legislation in front of you, there was a requirement, as Courtney said, to have a separate tank for the fire suppression systems in that house. So, correct?
