2.4 million people in the San Francisco Bay Area consume Tuolumne River water. The Tuolumne River Trust advocates that the City of San Francisco, which manages the Hetch Hetchy Water System, act as a good steward of the River. We encourage the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) and it's wholesale customers to pursue a sustainable water plan that: a) makes needed system repairs; b) includes an environmental improvements component to fund restoration and protection efforts; and c) meets new water needs through conservation, efficiency, and recycling. We expect San Francisco and neighboring communities to serve as a model for other regions of the state and country.
