Why should the restoration of Hetch Hetchy Valley be explored now?
The San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) is beginning a multi-billion dollar overhaul of its water system. While many of the elements in its Capital Improvement Program involve fixing old pipes, some elements involve system expansion and significant changes in how the SFPUC will store, move and treat water. The changes provide an opportunity to simultaneously consider alternatives that would allow for the restoration of Hetch Hetchy Valley.
