  • 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.

Vassar Dedicated to Jane Vassar For everything With Special Thanks To: Shane Meyers, Webmaster of JoinCalifornia.com For a friendship, a website, and a decade of trouble-shooting. Senator Robert D. 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. E. Dotson Wilson, Assembly Chief Clerk Brian S. Ebbert, Assembly Assistant Chief Clerk Timothy Morland, Assembly Reading Clerk For excellent ideas, intriguing questions, and guidance. 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.
