I’m also a resident of this neighborhood who will receive water for the first time in -- in 20 years. And I know that the judges and the Commissioners have all put in a lot of hard work and dan smith especially. And I’m just here to let you know that this means a lot to this neighborhood. I mean the neighborhood has suffered terrible with contaminated water for years and years on end and it's took a lot to get the grants together. To keep the neighborhood from being in debt. To playing bills that they couldn't afford. It just means so much to us. I just wants you to know that we really, really appreciate it.
>> thank you.
>> help us on the way.
>> thank you, judge.
