6. Go ahead, Compton Center.
02:04
3.6. Which water system will we talk about that? I mean, is it just a nearby creek or was it a domestic line area?
02:11
Compton, this is going into the built-in runoff and the median.
02:16
I believe this is going to feed down in between my location and the Laurel Run Bridge break.
02:23
Is that go ahead?
02:24
I believe that piping system is going to feed into the stream to the north of the north side of the highway.
02:32
The chemical has made it into that drain, so it's likely into that water system.
02:36
So by your advising it could have made it into the domestic water system?
02:39
Yes.
02:40
That's the assumption of this time.
02:42
It has gone into the drain.
02:43
So until we can get down to that creek, we're going to assume that it takes that already.
02:47
That's a copy.
