  • You still need to satisfy the QPQ requirement, but everything else looks great. Length, date, sources, and hook verified. LittleMountain5 06:05, 20 January 2014 (UTC)
  • The GEI page says that it is the sole water supply for these residents, not just the main one as in the article. If this is true, it might make the hook stronger:
    • @ Little Mountain: The aqueduct is pretty much the only source. Local Bay Area runoff is exceeded by evaporation in some years. Shannon 02:46, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
  • I agree that Rigadoun's alternate hook is worded stronger, and it's backed up by the source. Just change the article's wording ("main water supply" to "sole water supply") and complete a QPQ and it'll be good to go. LittleMountain5 04:07, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
  • Everything checks out now. Cheers, LittleMountain5 04:34, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
