Welcome thank you thank you. Ill jump right in an honor to be speaking im dave a palo alto resident for two million plus years and lived in San Francisco im here to ask you to start the process for creating a water be introverts reduction goal 85 percent of our water is enforced i want to mention 3 jurisdictions the first i had trouble mentioning this i dont know if youve read the Los Angeles Department of water and power the plan if you read that i was astonished los angeles will reduce waters imports from 80 to 50 percent by two million 40 with the conservatism Second District ill move one county south so Orange County their recycling one hundred million goggles growing to one and thirty million gallons i think the one and thirty million gallons a day is relocating annual use two million percent and all the more remarkable a given Orange County is convert a showstopper santa monica plans to eliminate water introverts by 20203 years from now theyre on track to do that the average rainfall is 013 inches a year half of the average rainfall so those guys are going a cobra los angeles and Orange County and are not we pleased that is great so if you look at our 2015 urban water plan we dont have an import reduction goal goal and stormwater plays in the benefits of the reducing ill ignore the environmental benefits for now but think what that means if we count on two million percent of the water coming from recycling by my thuj nail math we can eliminate a year worth of reservoirs of water reservoirs we have a huge reduction so ill quit and ask to say if you guys will work on the water import reduction in 2020 urban Management Plan we can have it in place thanks mr. Da costa. Commissioners on behalf of of all the citizens of San Francisco and more importantly the bayview Hunters Point id like to offer my condolences to our general manager harlan kelly and his family having said that, i would like to bring to your attention that the constituents of San Francisco are somewhat concerned that recycled water is going to be introduced into our drinking system and i know that some people look at recycle water in the way they should but let me remind everyone that the hetch hetchy water of the confluence is considered scald water pristine water and we in our ignorance should have used recycled water a lesson ago to flush toilets we continue to use hetch hetchy water to flush our toilets but what i want to say is that what i want to say is that we talked about cycled water in San Francisco were not paying attention to the contamination of the water shed like to talk about krooirgd water but not talk about how contaminated is that in Golden Gate Park or Hunters Point be it on Treasure Island and many of times radioactive impersonates marketrate change and the soils have moved from place to place to commissioners i know that people come up with all those models of youre going recycled water when recycled water is given to us mixed with Drinking Water and more chemicals are added to treat it then our children are our infants and young adults are impacted and many a time you want to know that in the short time you learn about it in the long term commissioners we this city and San Francisco are San Francisco does not have a toxicologist on board we need to use the intoxication cost to give us feedback but also have to use samples from the water so the public can get realtime results on the backside thank you very much. Thank you mr. Carl theres been some coverages lastly about what the impact it will be to the water supply by the ground water and i know that a great deal of work has gone into understanding did chemistry of that water and a what the constituents are and what the impacts likely will be and probably it be it valuable to have something that basically restates that that make available for the public that what the chemistry and the constituents and the frequency is what the back and forth chemistry of the water supply to have a firm factual basis yes, we can make the sheet available i want to be clear were using it on the west side of the San Francisco by daily city and San Francisco and san bruno for decades and were blending it into our supply at the Sunset Reservoir we have actually, the chemical nature the reality how the water we do have in the reservoir and also it is not just pure prosecuted to the full extent of the law hetch hetchy but the Crystal Springs and over in the east bay and our soil system a mixer of all 3 waters from that perspective that gets it together.

Da costa. Commissioners as chair rightly stated you commissioners can do only so much but you can also delegate to get factual reports when i made a statement and in the 3 minutes i would require half an hour to explain the changes and all the other things that are going on at it Southern California its from which the water is captured you cant do it in 3 minutes but on the two reports or the report that was just presented to you, we the public especially it comes to rate increases need to get a line items how they were generated to put on the side so this is accountability and transparency now we all know that we can talk about mountain tunnel in a very general way i dont want to go into the details but we know that recently before the board of supervisors and going to be spending 21 million over a period of years and they is no guarantee that everything will go well, if it didnt then well be spending oath 651 million to build Something Else we have to be up front we have supple and astute citizens following the midtown the same with calaveras and covington tunnel today when we go before the board of supervisors theyll talk about the 30 million grant for the lower cherry conduit i think that is called technically called let me get my glasses maybe the first time ill using my glasses at city hall yeah 300 million for the lower cherry aqueduct we have the commission projects and so we talk about a lot of projects but we need the public to get some factual information factual information how things are done i call the imperial data i collected the data going back years from the 17 and if you do have it i can produce it thank you very much. Thank you any other Public Comment . Thank you seeing none, weve move on to the report of general manager first up will the drought update 345ig9d into the flood update in but future mr. Richie steve richie assistant general manager for water. And he, he building this will be the last drought update that i will give if you want to update it call it Something Else but shades will show were not suffering from a drought at this time heres the reservoir the charts shows our toll system is 91 percent full the reason not 100 percent there is plenty of San Francisco that will be melting our water picture is good as ive produced calaveras is higher than it should be were working hard to get the water down there above the restrictions so were working hard on moving water out of the reservoir our cumulative perspiration chart the blue dash line is 1983 the wettest year the red line represents 2017 above that and for the last two months almost so were looking at a lot of precipitation that has come down as the next slide shows a good chunk of that is snow now this will probably looks different during the dry years we had used a different scale we didnt have to show big years theyre so low but to be in 1983 the purple line we expanded double the size of scale on the graph and yet the red line for 2017 to the left of purple line that means given were ahead of 1983 but with the snowpack to put on numbers the up country either precipitation as far is 53 plus inches more than one hundred and 50 percent of yearlong perspiration had a lot of water in the up countrys as well as in the bay area were running a measly 25 percent of average for the year so they got a catch up to do we dont need to were trying to get water out of calaveras like i said and last but not least our total delivery slides from the chart the green line is tracking right on top of the blue line so 2017 is oil and certainly well below the reduction i think the black dash line is the voluntary reduction line is going away as we get into the wholesale customers with the availability of water im available to answer any questions. Commissioners any Public Comment . Okay. T
