Mr. T.J. Malone:

There are roughly about 38,000 cases now where the construction activity has been completed and the contractors are off site. That is the figure now. By the end of February, we plan to have between 46,000 and 47,000 connections constructed. We are going through the final phases of completion in that regard. By the end of March, then, we plan to have the 60,000 connections constructed and for the contractors to be off site.
