00:06.040 --> 00:09.250
but the help of the Fourth Infantry

00:09.250 --> 00:11.028
Division , the largest and best

00:11.028 --> 00:13.083
equipped of four substations in West

00:13.083 --> 00:15.230
Iraq opened recently in the Ameriyah

00:15.230 --> 00:17.810
district public boards . Substations

00:17.810 --> 00:19.366
are cornerstones , inviting

00:19.366 --> 00:21.560
infrastructure from Baghdad . These

00:21.570 --> 00:23.459
depots are the staging ground for

00:23.459 --> 00:25.626
service trucks and employees . We look

00:25.626 --> 00:27.820
after the trash removal , waterlines ,

00:27.830 --> 00:29.580
electricity supply and sewage

00:29.580 --> 00:31.802
maintenance of their surrounding area .

00:31.802 --> 00:34.024
More important than that , it shows the

00:34.024 --> 00:35.858
Ameriyah citizens that the Iraqi

00:35.858 --> 00:38.024
government is working to improve their

00:38.024 --> 00:39.691
quality of life and boost the

00:39.691 --> 00:41.858
confidence of the people that they can

00:41.858 --> 00:44.080
trust the government of Iraq to provide

00:44.080 --> 00:46.136
restore services and ultimately that

00:46.136 --> 00:48.136
helps us because that means that as

00:48.136 --> 00:50.080
well as they find out if there are

00:50.080 --> 00:50.010
surgeons here , they're trying to blunt

00:50.010 --> 00:51.788
the effect that we're trying to

00:51.788 --> 00:53.788
accomplish here , right , restoring

00:53.788 --> 00:55.954
services that don't report that to the

00:55.954 --> 00:57.843
coalition forces . Iraqi Army and

00:57.843 --> 00:59.954
hopefully tell us before any problems

00:59.954 --> 01:01.843
arise . The P . W . S . S employs

01:01.843 --> 01:03.788
approximately 100 people , half of

01:03.788 --> 01:06.010
which are funded by the United States .

01:06.010 --> 01:08.232
Also , many vehicles of the complex are

01:08.232 --> 01:10.566
alone by the U . S . Under an agreement .

01:10.566 --> 01:12.732
The Iraqi Public Works Department will

01:12.732 --> 01:14.899
take over operation and funding of the

01:14.899 --> 01:16.843
substation fully in one year , the

01:16.843 --> 01:18.899
employees are enthusiastic about the

01:18.899 --> 01:20.954
upcoming work and know how important

01:20.954 --> 01:21.954
their job is .

01:33.850 --> 01:35.961
Maria substation opened with a ribbon

01:35.961 --> 01:38.040
cutting and brief ceremony , but the

01:38.040 --> 01:40.207
work that it will be doing will make a

01:40.207 --> 01:42.151
huge difference to the citizens of

01:42.151 --> 01:44.390
Baghdad for mnd be public affairs

01:44.580 --> 01:45.280
