Council Member Susan Zhuang raises concerns about frequent electricity blackouts in her district and questions the infrastructure's capacity to support the 'City of Yes' initiative. The discussion is deemed off-topic by Chair Gennaro.
- Commissioner Aggarwala states that electricity issues are beyond DEP's scope
- Chair Gennaro redirects the conversation to focus on the main topic of water supply and the FAD

kind of just if I could.
1:21:06
I I you know, the chair is already indicated that we're getting and wandering a little too far into the city of yes.
1:21:13
I mean, that has to be some tenuous connection to the topic before us.
1:21:19
And, you know, we're talking about the fat, which is where New York City's water comes from.
1:21:27
So that's really like the topic of the Oversight Hearing where the city's water come from.
1:21:31
Come comes from.
1:21:32
This is not a storm water hearing, per se.
1:21:34
This is where the water comes from.
1:21:36
So I'll I'll give you just to finish your thought or whatever, but I I I can't remember to ask questions that are are don't have any connection to what the topic is today.
1:21:48
And so something that relates to where the water comes from.
1:21:53
That that that's that's what we're going for today.
