You're clear.

I'm with the utilities manager.

He believes this is tied to their vent system.

Could be a failure in the system or prep work for the wintertime.

Is there the tunnel?

I just want to see if you could address with the facilities or the utilities manager if this could be transmitting under that through the tunnel underneath the ground.
