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) 2011-2012.
The WSIP is a multi-billion dollar, multi-year program to upgrade the SFPUC’s Regional and Local Water Systems.

The 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 2011-2012 (July 1, 2011 through June 30, 2012) 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 while implementing the program during FY 2011-2012 are summarized in Section 4.
