It's being taken to a safe anchorage for inspection. There's no apparent damage to the cargo, no leaks or spills. There's an environmental team on standby to make sure we don't have any problems.

You need to start watching, fix leaks, do whatever you can mechanically in your system. If you need to make maintenance repairs, do it now. Get ready for the warm weather, because when the growing season goes, irrigation and water usage will go up.
