In accordance with Section 73502(c) of the California Water Code, the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) is pleased to submit the Annual Report describing progress made on the implementation of the Water System Improvement Program (WSIP) during Fiscal Year (FY) 2010-2011.
The WSIP is a multi-billion dollar, multi-year program to upgrade the SFPUC’s Regional and Local Water Systems. The program will deliver capital improvements that enhance the SFPUC’s ability to provide reliable, affordable, high quality drinking water to its 26 wholesale customers and regional retail customers in Alameda, Santa Clara and San Mateo Counties, and to 800,000 retail customers in the City and County of San Francisco, in an environmentally sustainable manner. The proposed WSIP is structured to cost-effectively meet water quality requirements, improve seismic and delivery reliability through the year 2030, and meet water supply objectives until the year 2018.
Section 1 of the attached report describes the overall progress made on the program during FY 2010-2011 (July 1, 2010 through June 30, 2011) and Section 2 focuses on the major programmatic initiatives undertaken during that time period. Included in Section 3 is a summary of changes made to the WISP individual project schedules. The achievements and challenges encountered in the pre-construction and construction phases of the program during FY 2010-2011 are summarized in Section 4. Finally, Section 5 of the report highlights the current status of the specific projects mentioned in California Assembly Bill (AB) 1823.
