The New River is becoming more and more polluted. We understand there is a threat from Mexico. I think it meets the requirements to clean it up. They are going to shut some of our water off, and that will present a worse problem. We are very much aware of that. That is where the gentleman put $400,000. We are asking the Bureau of Reclamation to get its work done and do what the gentleman is speaking of here. We are very much aware of it, and we are going to be pushing and making sure that BOR does its job.
