From the transcript
That's something that, uh, we have 3 and a half years now to get this done, but we're working on that and, and keep trucking down the road. A part of that project is also sludge removal at the wastewater plant, trying to see if we can utilize a grant right now to have that done next year, if not the year after that. But, uh, that is starting to affect the water quality on the effluent. Those numbers are used in order to, uh, size your mixing zone, and so they go hand in hand. But that's, that's a part of the project that we're trying to get done earlier.
