So far this year, a little over 12 billion gallons. The way the treatment plant works is (Indistinct) comes in. The first thing it hits is it hits the screens and that is where it takes out all the heavy pieces. There is bar screens and scrapers that pull it up and we take that off site.

After that it goes to primer se …
