Schulman questions Jan Horn on Vancouver model and Source to Tap bill

Thank you very much.

I have a couple of questions for you.

One is, I don't know if you heard the prior testimony from the gentleman from Vancouver, and they seem to have a very big success rate because we're focusing on that right now.

And then I have a second question about something else.

But what's your take on what he had to say?

Well, actually, I like what he said, because what it does is it takes away the focus from just the cooling towers, the potential source, and it focuses on the entire building.

We know that this Legionella bacteria tends to proliferate in the warm areas, in boiler systems, in long legs of piping, and it's exposed to people in places like the showers, not just in cooling towers.

So I think that looking at the entire system and not just the cooling towers is very, very important.

So you would be, are you familiar, in the New York State Legislature, there's a bill called Source to Tap.

Are you familiar with that?

I have heard about it, but I'm not familiar with it.

So it's basically to follow the water from source to tap in terms of what goes on in that.

Range and that's there is it's a bill in the assembly and in the Senate state Senate that we're actually following as well so I would ask if you get a chance

chance to take a look at it.

Senator.

Senator Clodell.

Senator Claire, and in the assembly, it's Assemblymember Linda Rosenthal.

And then, you know, let us know offline, like, what your take is on that.

Absolutely.

Okay.

I really appreciate your testimony and appreciate you coming and being with us today.

And we will follow up with you.

Thank you.

Thank you for the opportunity.

Sure.
