Mr. Jerry Grant:
I will not speak for the EPA or local authorities. Local authorities have their own statutory responsibilities as environmental bodies and do their job. Ours will be to protect drinking water. We will monitor sources and treatment plants. One of our first objectives is to provide for remote monitoring in order that we will be able to see from control centres throughout the country what is going on in our plants and water sources.
