Mary Rogren, Assistant General Manager Agenda STAFF REPORT To: Coastside County Water District Board of Directors From: Mary Rogren, Assistant General Manager Agenda: September 10,2019 Report Date: September 6, 2019 Subject: Assistant General Manager’s Report SB 699 (Hill) Signed into Law On September 2, 2019, Governor Newson signed SB 699 into law. This bill was introduced by State Senator Jerry Hill earlier this year, and does the following: (1) extends state oversight of San Francisco’s required capital improvement program for the Regional Water System (WSIP) from January 1, 2022 to January 1, 2026; and (2) extends the San Francisco Bay Area Regional Water System Financing Authority’s ability to issue revenue bonds through December 1, 2030. BAWSCA worked closed with Senator Hill and other legislators to urge support of this bill. Nicole Sandkulla, BAWSCA’s CEO, notes that “this action represents a significant step in protecting the water supply interests of the water customers that BAWSCA represents.” See the attached (Exhibit I) for the original April 2019 press release explaining the bill. Fiscal Year (FY) 2018-19 Annual Report – San Francisco Public Utility Commission (SFPUC) - Water System Improvement Program (WSIP) On August 30, 2019, the SFPUC issued its’ FY2018-19 Annual Report on the WSIP Program. A summary of the report is included in the attached cover letter from the SFPUC (Exhibit II). Between July 1, 2018 and June 30, 2019, the overall completion of WSIP increased from 95.8% to 97.3%. The largest project in the program, Calaveras Dam Replacement, was substantially completed during the fiscal year. STAFF REPORT Agenda: September 10, 2019 Subject: AGM Report Page 2 As noted in the cover letter, “as of June 30, 2019, construction was in progress on five regional projects valued at $1,015 million, while construction had been completed on 43 Regional projects valued at $2,715 million. There are two projects remaining in pre-construction (the Alameda Creek Recapture Project and the Watershed and Environmental Improvement Program). In addition, Phase 2 of the Regional Groundwater Storage and Recovery Project is in design while Phase 1 is nearing construction completion.” The report also notes (with 80% confidence) that the current approved scope is sufficiently funded under the current approved budget (March 2018.) The full text of annual SFPUC report is accessible at https://sfwater.org/modules/showdocument.aspx?documentid=14249. Exhibit I Statement from Nicole Sandkulla, Chief Executive Officer, that Two State Laws Should be Extended to Maintain Continuing State Oversight of San Francisco’s $4.6 Billion Water System Improvement Program (WSIP) to Rebuild Its Bay Area Regional (Hetch Hetchy) Water System (System) and Provide Bond Funding for It if Needed April 2, 2019 California State Senator Jerry Hill (D-San Mateo) introduced California Senate Bill 699 in the California Legislature on March 27, 2019 to extend two California laws (AB 1823 and SB 1870) for this vitally important System to protect the health, safety and economic well-being of water users who depend on the System and to provide funding for it, if necessary. To date, State oversight of the WSIP provided by the Legislature has evaluated the impact to public health and safety resulting from adopted changes to the WSIP, increased clarity of seismic and other criteria for project design, provided independent, expert review of critical seismic design; and increased reporting about seismic reliability of vital projects in the WSIP. Two laws, AB 1823 (introduced by then Assembly Member Lou Papan) and SB 1870 (introduced by then State Senator Jackie Speier), were enacted overwhelmingly in 2002, providing new protection for 1.8 million residents and 40,000 businesses and community agencies in Alameda, San Mateo, and Santa Clara counties that rely on the System. In the same year, the Bay Area Water Supply and Conservation Agency (BAWSCA) also was formed (AB 2058-Papan) to represent the water interests of the customers in the three counties. They use two-thirds of the System’s water and pay two-thirds of its costs. San Francisco’s water customers use and pay for one-third of the water. After 16 years of planning and construction, the WSIP is 97 percent complete and to this point has cost $4.4 billion. Completion of the remaining projects is estimated to cost another $365 million, with two major projects not yet finished. Both projects are vitally important for water users, and completing the projects will provide many continuing jobs. The Alameda Creek Recapture Project, currently scheduled for completion by November 2021, is designed to recapture 6.4 million gallons of water per day, which will first be intentionally released from the new Calaveras Reservoir in Alameda county and/or by-passed around it to sustain fish in the Creek below. Estimated budget for this project is $34 million. The second project is the Regional Groundwater Storage and Recovery Project with a current budget of $139 million. This Project is designed to store local rain water underground in San Mateo County so that it can be withdrawn in drought years through as many as 16 wells to supply 7.2 million gallons per day to water customers. Current State oversight of the WSIP provided by AB 1823 is set to expire on January 1, 2022 and the bonding authority provided by SB 1870 will expire on December 31, 2020. SB 699 proposes to extend the State oversight to January 1, 2026 and bonding authority through December 31, 2030 since WSIP is not yet complete. These protections for water customers remain critically necessary. BAWSCA will work with Senator Hill and other legislators who represent districts in the three counties and with all the water customers represented by BAWSCA, to support extension of the State oversight of San Francisco’s WSIP and extend authority to issue bond funding for it if needed. ##### 155 Bovet Road, Suite 650, z San Mateo, CA 94402 z ph 650 349 3000 z fx 650349 8395 z www.bawsca.org Exhibit II 525 Golden Gate Avenue, 13th Floor San Francisco San Francisco, CA 94102 T 415.554.3155 Water Power Sewer F 415.554.3161 Operator of the Hetch Hetchy Regional Water System TTY 415.554.3488 August 30, 2019 Assembly Member Rudy Salas - Chair Senator Richard Roth - Vice Chair Joint Legislative Audit Committee 1020 N Street, Room 107 Sacramento, CA 95814 The Honorable Michael Gardner, Chairman The Honorable Mia Marvelli, Acting Vice-Chair Alfred E.

  • What's on Tap? San Francisco (Pdf)
    SAN FRANCISCO1 San Francisco earned a water quality and compliance grade of Poor for 2000 and 2001. Factors in this grade included the following: WHAT'S Although San Francisco’s source water is generally very well protected, the city had ON TAP? high levels of cancer-causing contaminants called total trihalomethanes, or TTHMs, by-products of the heavy use of chlorine for disinfection of its tap water. San Francisco Grading Drinking is one of the few large cities in the United States with TTHM levels still in excess of a Water in U.S. Cities new EPA tap water standard that went into effect in January 2002. San Francisco also EARLY RELEASE has potentially dangerous high spikes in the levels of these chemicals in its tap water. CALIFORNIA EDITION The city applied for and received a two-year extension from the EPA for bringing the system into compliance with this standard. The San Francisco Public Utilities October 2002 Commission (SFPUC) should not have allowed this problem to continue into 2002. The city says it is taking steps to reduce its TTHM levels by 2003, but its “solution,” a switch to chloramine disinfection, is a half-measure that will only moderately reduce TTHM levels and will not kill chlorine-resistant microbes. The EPA announced the reduced standard more than eight years ago, in July 1994, after extensive regulatory negotiations resulted in an agreement with the water industry—a process of which San Francisco was well aware.3 The final rule was issued in 1998.4 Under NRDC’s grading system, any water system that exceeds the new EPA standard for chemicals that cause cancer and potentially cause miscarriage and birth defects can receive a water quality grade no higher than Poor.

Dutton, Senate Minority Leader Greg Maw, Senate Republican Policy Director For providing gainful employment that I enjoy. Gregory P. Schmidt, Secretary of the Senate Bernadette McNulty, Chief Assistant Secretary of the Senate Holly Hummelt , Senate Amending Clerk Zach Twilla, Senate Reading Clerk For an orderly house and the lists that made this book possible.

Jessica Billingsley, Senate Republican Floor Manager For extraordinary patience with research projects that never end. Richard Paul, Senate Republican Policy Consultant For hospitality and good friendship. Wade Teasdale, Senate Republican Policy Consultant For understanding the importance of Bradley and Dilworth. A Note from the Author An important thing to keep in mind as you read this book is that there is information missing. In the first two decades that California’s legislature existed, we had more individuals serve as legislators than we have in the last 90 years.1 Add to the massive turnover the fact that no official biographies were kept during this time and that the state capitol moved seven times during those twenty years, and you have a recipe for missing information. As an example, we only know the birthplace for about 63% of the legislators. In spite of my best efforts, there are still hundreds of legislators about whom we know almost nothing.
