| Q: |
Compared to similar services provided by
others, $995/month seems very inexpensive.
How is that price possible? |
| A: |
Marsh-McBirney has learned through
customer experience that a well-installed Flo-Dar flow meter can operate
indefinitely in a sewer manhole with little or no on-site maintenance.
Flo-Dar's extremely low costs of operation makes our pricing possible. |

| Q: |
Is flowmeter installation included in
the monthly price? |
| A: |
No. Because installation costs will vary
by application and location Marsh-McBirney will provide a quotation for
installation that is specific to the needs of a particular monitoring
site. |

| Q: |
Do I have to buy the flow meter
separately? |

Marsh-McBirney so there is no need to purchase a flow meter.

| Q: |
Will Marsh-McBirney be analyzing my flow
data and making recommendations on I&I reduction, capacity analysis,
etc...? |
| A: |
No. Marsh-McBirney is simply providing
easy access to flow data. You should continue to work with your
preferred consulting engineer and/or full service flow service provider
for qualified data analysis and other value added services. |

| Q: |
Is there an antenna? Where is it
located? |
| A: |
The DDS system requires the use of a
Marsh-McBirney supplied antenna. It is about the size and shape of
a hockey puck and is typically buried next to the manhole cover.
Specific site-related issues may warrant an alternative antenna
placement. |
