Thanks Mark. We don't have the local utilities contacts. They are not our typical PH partners. We will assist
any way possible.

The reference to a third number was bases upon a misunderstanding by the Governor's Offica
that the EPA had issued a number. They now have the correct information.
Regarding the 9:30 am call, do we have the ability to make sure the water execs have the call -in
details? I'd hate if a LHD inadvertently failed to pass along this information.

Works for me. I must have jotted down 8:30, but happy to know the call with
the locals is at 9:30 am. And that later call will include water execs like CFPUA,
H2Go, etc ... and they've been notified of the call -in time, number, etc?

Also, we should huddle at 8 am (prior to the 8:30 am call) to do
our own prep. Can someone set up that call/line ... and be sure
our colleagues at DEQ have the number.

All,
I spoke with Mayor Saffo, and I will send folks an invite for this 3:30
call. Noelle, I think you mentioned you were setting up a number, do you have
that? If so I can send around.
As I mentioned, I think the goal of this call is to arm local elected officials with
as clear as possible of a public facing explanation of where the state stands
presently, and the steps we are planning to take moving forward. This is the
group that the Star News in particular is asking for comment, and we should
have them well armed and hearing directly from us.
Questions that I think will be raised or should be addressed (forgive my
layman's understanding of the situation):
Explain the discrepancy between the previous level and the revised 140 ppt
level. Why was the change made and is the new number trustworthy?
Why are there three different numbers from DEQ, DHHS, and EPA?
What is the gameplan for ongoing testing and monitoring? Who is responsible
for paying for this?
Jeremy, I think an explanation from you about federal role in this could also be
valuable.
Thanks all.
Jordan
