Let me explain when water evaporates and condenses into clouds, water drops form and fall back to the earth as precipitation. When water evaporates and condenses into clouds, water drops form and fall back to the earth as precipitation, rain and melted snowfall from the mountains create water runoff which flows into rivers and streams where the soil soaks up the water like a giant sponge. Rain and melted snowfall from the mountains create water runoff which flows into rivers and streams where the soil sucks up the water like a giant sponge rain and melted snowfall from the mountains create water runoff which flows into rivers and streams where the soil soaks up the water like a giant sponge. The water gathers into large underground naturally occurring storage containers called aqua fiers. The water gathers into large underground naturally occurring storage containers called aquifers. The water gathers into large underground naturally occurring storage containers called aquifers from here. One of Whittier's nine wells draw the water out of the ground like a giant straw and into pipes that flow into Whittier's Marshall R Bowen pumping plant from here. One of Whittier's nine wells draw the water out of the ground like a giant straw and into pipes that flow into Whittier's Marshall R. Bowen Pumping plant here through a combination of procedures. Whittier's water system operators carefully filter and treat the water to meet and exceed local state and federal standards here through a combination of procedures. Whittier's water system operators carefully filter and treat the water to meet and exceed local state and federal standards. The water is also tested regularly throughout the entire system to ensure that it is always safe for everyone to use. The water is also tested throughout the entire system weekly to ensure that it is always safe for everyone to use. Great. The water is also tested throughout the entire system weekly to ensure that it is always safe for everyone to use, to ensure that it is always safe for everyone to use. Once treated. We use giant motors to run pumps that send the water out of the pumping plant under the San Gabriel River beneath the 605 freeway and into 11 reservoirs throughout Whittier at a rate up to dammit. Once treated, we use giant motors to run pumps that send water out of the pumping plant under the San Gabriel River beneath the 605 freeway and into 11 reservoirs throughout Whittier at a rate of up to 15,000 gallons per minute. Wow, that was fast. Once treated, we use giant motors to run pumps that send the water out of the pumping plant under the San Gabriel river beneath the 605 freeway and into 11 reservoirs throughout Whittier at a rate of up to 15,000 gallons per minute.

See you soon like just different like maybe like a little like giggle like a, like a drawn out like Yeah. Good. Yeah. Yeah. And now maybe some like jumping and I was like, oh like that. Yeah. Yeah. Like kind of like cause he's like gonna be jumping in certain parts. Who? Yeah. Mhm So if you want. Oh oh wow. Maybe some straining like oh who? Hm. Maybe like he just landed on the floor type thing.
