The Chairman, can you hear me? Yes,.

I'm having a little technical difficulty on my end as well, so we're still we, we still have quite a few people working from home out of nearly 700 field. Physicians, we have over a hundred working from home. We intend to continue to do that for a couple of more weeks, the city manager has has put together a plan and we will execute the plan accordingly.

F

So we'll still have some people out for a couple of weeks and hopefully we'll be able to get back to normal here sometime in their future. We still have quite a few people, quite a few accounts not paying their bill. There's still a lot of folks out of work, we're at about ten eleven thousand people now who have accounts in their ears, but we're still doing we're doing well.

F

We have put together a plan to enable us to continue our capital program where we're deferring a few of the projects for a while until we know just how much of an economic impact this pandemic has on our utility, our operations budget is still in pretty good shape, so we're moving along just fine for now. I'll give you another update at the next meeting and that's all I have mr. chairman. Thank.

Chris a question: circling Chris, I'm, sorry, my mind's gone blank: does the water utilities trust received much in the way of funding from the city of Oklahoma City's general fund? Does it have to be supplemented in any manner.

F

No sir, we don't get any money from the general fund. All of our money is from water revenues. Yes,.
