I thank Dr. Ryan. It is unfortunate that we are meeting in the midst of what is happening. When we scheduled this meeting, it was intended to review the previous boil water notice in the areas in question and the broader issue of water quality. I thank the EPA officials for attending during what is a busy time for them and the witnesses who will appear before us later. However, it is important that we scrutinise the issue and get answers today. With that in mind, our first questioner will be Senator Boyhan. Due to time constraints, I will keep members' contributions to three minutes apiece.
