Hi Shubhra,
The primary issue is our metering component.
We have a combination of analogue and digital metering equipment and have had calibration and
older equipment issues on and off.The metering at the lower reservoir is in a different location and
independent of the well pump metering.
Our staff have been aware and have done some minor adjustments periodically and we have
replaced some of the equipment. To that end,we are in the process of upgrading more
components and controls to provide better reporting consistency going forward.We hope to have
this completed this summer/fall.

Hello Mr. Trulock,
I have a follow-up question based on your previous response. Following your response to Prod.
Req. No. 12, the Lower Reservoir Data (within "Front Side- Water" tab of Exhibit 7) should be
the amount of water distributed to the system after treatment. And the "Front Side -Well
Gals/Hrs" should refer to the water production prior to treatment. So, I summarized the annual
totals from these two specific tabs in the table below as reported in Exhibit 7. It appears the
amount of water being distributed is higher than the produced water. Can you please help me
in understanding the difference between water distributed and water produced, and clarify the
source of the excess water being distributed annually to the system compared to the annual
production?
I would appreciate your help with this. Thank you for your time.
