Not a meaningful amount of water in early reporting from a non-mature operating state. Why are we drawing any conclusions at this point?

The only conclusion I am drawing is about this particular report.

So you’re limiting the scope of your analysis to this report only? Where does it mention water usage by housing built in Austin over the past two years?

You’re comfortable making those comparisons and concluding how significant the water usage is but you’re unwilling to check the context of the data in the report? Not sure I follow.
