Let me just add something.

One thing is that the basic infrastructure in any community allows opportunities for economic growth going forward. If you don't have clean water in a community, it is pretty hard to have other economic activities occur. The basic infrastructure being provided through the gas tax funding and other funding that we have can support other economic opportunities within the community.
