I don't see Mark Worker with Epcorts.

We'll move up to the city update with Mr.

Howalt.

Thank you, Mr.

Chairman, members of the committee.

So we continue to make uh progress on a couple of uh design efforts as well as study efforts.

Uh our reuse project, uh what we've coined as phase three of the reuse project uh is at 60 percent design, uh which is for those of you that aren't aware, we are working on the uh ponds at Hillcrest Park uh to make that deeper so we have more volume there, and then we're also working on the ponds at uh the front line of the golf course at Colonial Park, and so that one also uh we're gonna make deeper to add volume to that way.

That way it allows us um from a management of the water standpoint and from an irrigation standpoint, obviously uh if depending on the number of end users and the timing of when they're actually irrigating, uh it it gives us that volume and extra capacity to be able to draw down on to where it's not impacting the elevated storage tank or our storage tanks out at the uh wastewater treatment plant uh for that facility.

But we're at 60 percent design uh with that.

The plan for that project is once we are finished with the design, which will be uh prior to the next uh water trust board uh application cycle, uh we will start to apply for water trust board funding to go to construction uh with that project.

Uh the other project that we have going on that is under uh I'm gonna say in design, but as part of a study, is our 40-year uh water master plan.

And so that one we contract with Daniel B.

Stevens and associates.

And what it does is it actually protects your water rights.

So the Office of the State Engineer is the authority over all water rights within the state of New Mexico.

And if you're not showing that you have your water rights being put to beneficial use, they can actually uh take back your water rights.

And so by having a 40-year water plan in place, we even though you may not be using them, uh, you can show that they're what you're projected to use them for.

And so uh we're wrapping that up.

I have the draft of that.

Um reviewing that right now.

Uh and then once uh any comments are addressed, if there are any, then we'll submit it to the state engineer's office to have on file.

Of course, the city does have um lots of water rights.

I mean, we own 3200 acres out at Ned Hulk Park that we have water rights associated with.

Uh all of our uh park space within the city of Clovis, we have water rights associated with those.

Uh out at the landfill, we have lots of water rights that we have uh associated with it at the airport, we have water rights.

And so while we don't use those, we want to be able to protect them.

That way, if we did need to work with Epcor in the future in that partnership uh from a leasing standpoint, which we have done, uh, that they would be there and available for them to be able to uh potentially put to beneficial use if so needed.

And so uh working on that uh project as well.

In regards to the jumping back to the reuse in regards to use of the reuse system uh for this fiscal year, uh we have delivered 92 million gallons uh to date, which is about 0.25 million gallons per day.
