Mayor, perhaps you have a response to that. Yeah, absolutely. He's saying several things that are completely inaccurate. First of all, There was one reservoir that was out of commission. He is correct. A million years ago it was for wildfires. But over the last 30, 40 years it's been for drinking water. He talked about the winds. (06:43–06:46)
