“I just wanted to kind of explain. I've seen some posts come up regarding the water that's going to be pumped down to the pit where the debris fill was found. I did speak with our city manager about that. They were worried about whether or not that water was going to be tested to make sure it's drinkable because it's going to, you know, eventually go down to the aquifer. That will be a natural filtering process where that water will be filtered down through the earth before it reaches the aquifer. And it will meet state standards. Is that right? Or federal?”
