I will go through the amendment piece by piece. First, the amendment would duplicate what is already provided for in Schedule 3. Buildings and facilities used in connection with water and wastewater are already included in Schedule 3, specifically in paragraphs 1(a), 1(b) and 1(n). Including buildings and facilities used in connection with water and wastewater in Schedule 3 would be like including an amendment to Schedule 3 that states, "Buildings used in connection with retailing or manufacturing, etc.," which would only lead to confusion. It is not required. The amendment excludes group water or wastewater treatment systems from consideration as relevant property under Schedule 3. This is superfluous.
