recess brief as promised after reconvening the land use commission and madam clerk call item 3. >> item 3 is the hearing on the reduction of water usage. >> okay. i i'm the author of the hearing request about the watering usage by the cities and steps to take lyricsly and otherwise to improve water conservation in san francisco colleagues as you recall our current brought is a crisis we must contestant with the strategy policies to make sure we're maintaining our city awhile skooefrp water this is sacrifices like not being able to water everything we want to water and today, we'll hear with

the current operational usage by the city departments and the individual city departments are doing to respond for example, the puc will address us as well as the rec and park to be sure we're striking the right balance for the open space parks in our city and being responsible with the long responsibility for the entire region we're pushing ourselves to have better water conservation policy even if we get blasted we water this b will not be the last drought water is innovate an end less resource we've acted like water is imtent

in nature and our usable water is 2009 there are limits we're seeing the limits they will be continued to be tested we're lucky to have clean and hetch hetchy but even hetch hetchy has it's limits we need to take action in the short time and the long time to reduce the water uncle and being nor strategic and make sure we're preparing for the future san francisco is in many ways the forefront of water conservation thanks to the puc for its cutting-edge work we consume less water a than another areas we must do better in addition, we need to mash we're continuing to been overall city uses of water going beyond our department

we need to be talking about issues like like the metering of building our multi you buildings have one meter for the entire building so individual offices or apartments or condo individuals have absolutely no incentive to conserve water other than the general desire to conserve water we know that individual metering what about a way to make sure that people have the right incentive to conserve water there are challenging around the multi unit building in addition water reuse and recycling is a very, very important potential source of water conservation allowing us to reuse water for no non-quoteable oozed uses other

than washing and drinking yet although we've made progress the water use in san francisco we have a long way to go to make sure that we're maximum missing our use of water so we'll be hearing from various city departments about those issues again both the city departmental use of water and whether to be moving toward strong steps to encourage all san franciscans to use less water so colleagues if there's 0 no additional comments i'd like to i'm going to turn it over to the water commission steve richie is here mr. richie. >> you thank you very much supervisor wiener i'm city clerk the general manager for water

and the representatives and we have colleagues here i'll give the large overview and they'll focus on departmental live ever performance and the citywide conservation moving forward if i can have the slides up please. >> where are we now the 3 years period of 2012 to 2013 is the driest for us the water year starts october 1st and we just ended the water year the drive it period and the flow deficit down stream from the pedro dam has to the been this low since the war when washington crossed

the delaware we continue is is r to ask volunteer to stop users water and managing the rectify storage we're well prepared to move up into the future this is a dhart i use rounding with our reservoirs storage and we're at about 78 percent maximum storage that's a drinking water and part of the reason we have this water bank in don pedro with the water distribution the second red error is down 42 percent we've been able to preserve the water in hetch hetchy in good shape going forward and all the 0 reservoirs is 59 percent and

this time last year we're detain where we were since the drought continued and again, this is relative to other agencies. >> when do i anticipate the water bank to go down to zero or low enough number to have significant impact on hetch hetchy the last time was 1987 through 99 drought that was the low point this year in that drought that dropped down to zero three or four times so we could get e end up 52 percent and long run last year but again, it is actually come up 45 thousand feet from the summer next slide shows our 1278 wide deliveries the red and blue lines are a 5 year average we've

smoothed it out and the blue is the 2013 and the dwr is 2014 demands and the dash black line is we what we need to achieve the 10 percent it was up somewhat early in the drought but from june 1st on the performance has been occupying by your customers people have gotten the message they have to conserve and now last week the demand was 25 percent down from last year people have gotten on board for the drought this is necessary we're very, very happy with our customers. >> overall that is san francisco or the - >> san francisco and our wholesale service everybody together we like to look at the system everybody has done

they're part. >> so for the entire area the water enterprise serves about down 25 percent. >> yes. overall this year it aufrnlz occult to 10 to 12 percent reduction we've called for plus a little bit more so people are doing good the current actions we're doing we're continuing the requester to the demand wide and close to the announced for the retail customers we're implementing a water enforcement program we're letting people know if theirs wasting water we're going to do something about it we're reporting to our water board and working with the city departments especially large

users and irrigation and kwep with our that wholesale customers. >> if you're going to get to this in terms of clarify what the rules are for individuals whether it's small business owners or property owners we have a lot of questions about am i allowed to wash my sidewalk the state realize that are promulgated we've go forward the fact that cities exist so the urban watering of the lawn you can't let it run off we have a lot of heavy uses and people and other stuff on our sidewalks i know can you let us know the rules for homeowners and small business owners. >> this is the next slide it

shows the basic rules that's been adapted the first thing is basically, you can't over water landscapes h that one we've had on the book as a registration in san francisco that's been a rule in san francisco for many times you can't law water to flow off whether or not your irrigating or not the second one is that actually wash motor vehicles you have to have a shut off valve so this is an easy one to comply with the third one is relate reflect to san francisco for waters on driveways and sidewalks to deal with the fact that the upper has to deal with human waits and animal waste and

sticky food waste are material and it's a public health hazard people are allowed to use the water but still have to deal with the dirty situations. >> so you have a shop owner on castro or fulsome street or third street or whether they might be do they you know water or wash hopefully in an efficient way their sidewalks is it they're generally allowed to do that or a lot look to see what's on there you have to i don't know where the urine is on the sidewalk i know it's somewhere you might not be able to see it but keep the sidewalk clean. >> observe examples we have

people to report to 311 we'll send a notification to them your recorded do the right thing to do and a groceries owner that had to deal with things that accumulate outside so we tacked to i taxed to that shop owner and asked him to sweep up what he can and you can't have vera minute around your shop and they used to steam clean the hard spaces all the time about two or three times a week now their sweeping everything and recused tare power washing down to once every two weeks they're more efficient it's easier to do it

now you don't have to dig in and fought with the nasty substance is if you have reason to building it's truly offense and cilician then clean it up supervisor kim. >> i judge had a quick question on the notice he will i know a lot of buildings have it you mentioned you can get that there the puc. >> yes. >> how will you procure that. >> well call our customer services on golden gate avenue we'll talk about the material and the equipment and we have literature and cail our water simply hotline and so
