Thank you so very much, Gembeaux. I will make sure that our crews get your message and know how much their efforts are appreciated. We’ll be at it until it’s all done!
Thanks to all the ECUA workers for your extra efforts. I know that this is additional hard work, particularly in the increasing heat and humidity. Seeing these piles diminish helps so much, not only in the restoration and recovery efforts, but for the emotional and psychological health of those who were hit so hard by the floods. You all have my applause.
