on top of 20. it was just recently cleaned out. we added a large new intake from some reservoir that we could put water in rapidly and also cleaned it out. the voter does not show the large pile of debris which came out of this. unlike our drinking water reservoirs, this is uncovered so it does accumulate stock over time, but we found it to be in strikingly good condition. it is actually in pretty good shape. lastly, the schedule, we are looking at designing about 15 cisterns, developing the cost for pump station one, conceptual engineering on pump station two, and a draft study report, the implementation study that i referred to. all of that willnext year, desiw sisters, looking at proposed language for a november 2013 bond to follow up on what we have found now that we have looked hard. finish additional designs. we expect to be in construction on a number of these things in 2013, so we re doing things to improve the system, just like we started with twin peaks reservoir. i
directive. batting in i think it is an interesting conversation have. commissioners, the second item is the report on the a solar water supply system. as you recall, we were able to take over the system working with the fire department about a year-and-a-half ago, and we have been upgrading the system and working on the bond-funded portion of that. thank you. steve ritchie, assistant general manager for water. go to the slide please. talk about the of sillery water supply system, the giggly relative to the earthquake safety and emergency response bond. a lot of this was prepared by our project manager, but also on the operational aspects, the director of regional operations contributed to this presentation. this is a photo of one an what an awss fire hydrant looks like. by comparison, across the street, you can see a traditional fire hydrant. it is much smaller, and those tend to get broken over when they get hit by cars. awss does not. it is designed to withstand a b

thank you. any other comment on awss? the final report is our wsip quarterly report. commissioner moran: ms. labon? good afternoon, commissioners. i am the wsip director. today s quarterly update covers the reporting time between october 2 and december 24. these are slides that summarized the progress made on the program during the reporting quarter. essentially we had one project. one of the four projects that remain in its design move to a bit and award, the seismic addition to pipeline three in four. two projects, said the construction activity, completed, and moved to close at hunters point reservoir rehab and the improvements. we also had two local projects that completed their clothes out activities, so these projects are now completed. so their clock that completed their clothes out activities, so these projects are not completed. three of seven are in big and awards, to get into construction. construction is now active on 19 projects, over $2.5 billion. we
saw, my neighborhood and many other neighborhoods were totally protected by awss. it is confined to the northeast. i am here is a strong advocate to the program and want to emphasize too hard in the system, to expand the system for emergency water supply to pardon the system. the high-pressure system as we talked about. in our meeting with amy and brian, i suggested that we re not tapping some of the major water resources in the city. lake merced. sunset reservoir. merced manor. other ones that are adjacent or very near existing awss pipelines and should be connecticut connected. sunset reservoir is about four short blocks to 19th avenue, where the awss system is. interestingly enough, i recommended 26 to 32 cisterns, and that is what ended up in the bond. because out in a lot of those neighborhoods, we have a constant at least 10 mile an hour wind. it is an uphill slope, and it is pools of tar on the flat roofs out there with very little protection. i would like to accel
