Beryl:
I am continuing to research any responsive documents to your request below. I can tell you that we have no affiliation with any private water company. I am researching if we have any correspondence or have otherwise been approached by any of the entities you’ve listed, but it may take some time as have been reaching out to the senior management team as well as our procurement department to see if they have any responsive documents. I will be in touch by the end of the week. Thank you.
