said that it was necessary. | don’t quote him directly but something that to the effect that people are dropping
like flies in there. So | support this 100%.

And we have our Assistant City Engineer here. Maybe you could tell us a little bit about this one?
Peter Kohalmi, Deputy City Engineer
Good evening, my name is Pete Kohalmi, Deputy City Engineer. So we know we have a lot of bad pipes, bad
sewer pipes. We don’t know exactly where, well we have a pretty good idea of where, but we don’t know
exactly how bad the condition of them is. So we are looking to hire this Company, Ted Barry to video some of
the suspect sewer lines.
