1
00:00:01,420 --> 00:00:03,531
We'll clean water is a building block 

2
00:00:03,531 --> 00:00:05,587
for a healthy life . Where do we get 

3
00:00:05,587 --> 00:00:07,640
our clean water ? The answer ? Our 

4
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:09,696
water treatment plants on Misawa Air 

5
00:00:09,696 --> 00:00:12,700
base . So the whole purpose of a water 

6
00:00:12,700 --> 00:00:15,400
treatment plant is to receive large 

7
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:17,860
amounts of water from our lakes , wells , 

8
00:00:17,870 --> 00:00:20,460
rivers and aquifers and process that 

9
00:00:20,470 --> 00:00:23,540
into clean water safe for human 

10
00:00:23,540 --> 00:00:25,762
consumption . In addition to that , our 

11
00:00:25,762 --> 00:00:28,050
water supply also provides two 

12
00:00:28,060 --> 00:00:30,004
firefighting capabilities are fire 

13
00:00:30,004 --> 00:00:32,710
suppression systems , dining facilities , 

14
00:00:32,780 --> 00:00:35,040
medical treatment centers and our 

15
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:37,420
aircraft maintenance . So we produce 

16
00:00:37,420 --> 00:00:39,560
about 1.3 million gallons of water , 

17
00:00:39,710 --> 00:00:43,610
about 1.1 million is consumed And we 

18
00:00:43,610 --> 00:00:45,666
do have a extra storage of about two 

19
00:00:45,666 --> 00:00:47,750
million gallons , goes back to our 

20
00:00:47,750 --> 00:00:50,180
basics of building a base um without a 

21
00:00:50,190 --> 00:00:52,301
reliable source of potable water . We 

22
00:00:52,301 --> 00:00:54,023
can't have a base that will be 

23
00:00:54,023 --> 00:00:56,240
operational and sustainment , Petty
