Yes, the city has replaced 20 miles of pipe at a cost of $2.5 million, and has appropriated $5.1 million of city revenue this year to replace another 40 miles. However, according to the mayor, this is insufficient to complete the repairs, and the city is seeking Federal assistance to replace the remaining 40 miles of pipe. I understand that this is late in the legislative process. However, in light of the urgency of the problem, I am exploring any legislative options available. I would appreciate your assistance in providing funds that we could use to improve this project.
