we will carefully monitor other line items to help offset as well to help fund capital projects with this adjustment. Even if this issue had been known prior to awarding the bid and/or putting the budget together, we simply would not have budgeted one or more of the projects, so at least this way, if the chemical budget (which is always dependent on actual usage) comes in on track or less, we can still proceed with the originally planned capital projects. Either way, we are confident we can keep the Utility Department within budget. Aluminum Sulfate is on the primary chemicals used at the water treatment plant, and is essential in the treatment process.
