Back in August Hebron Colony completed the construction of a new WWTP. Their permit
required and Engineering Certification Form to be submitted from their consultant
indicating that they had built it according to approved plans and specifications. This
was to be submitted before they began use of the new WWTP. You guys have anything
in the files relating to such a certification? '
