finally, the bay area needs to lead on this issue to counter balance central valley interest. and the central valley, agriculture has been a poor ste ward and they have over used ground water and planted what urt kro pz and used fake science to assert that water flows don't matter. and argue that they don't have enough water while at the same time planting new orchards. the bay area needs to be a leader with a week's notice we turned out 40 people at the sfpuc on meeting. >> we have 300 letters. >> thank you. >> thank you very much. >> last speaker, adrian covert? >> thank you. >> i am with the bay area council and i just want to mention that i think that the plan is good intentions. but there are significant details that are lacking that caused us to have some significant concerns about the plan. without any details about how
3:41 pm
the plan would be implemented. our concerns are mostly around the future of housing in the ability to provide affordable housing for a growing population, in san francisco. and in the bay area. sfpuchopo, estimates that it's users could face cuts up to 50 percent during the droughts with the rationing beginning needily at the first sign of drought, this level of rationing could be avoided through a couple of ways, and one will be making billions of dla rz in investments and recycling and supplies, and those costs will be born on to the payers, and for which no planning of that magnitude has been considered. also, the other way around it would be to conserve at levels unheard of in the developed world. the bay area water users already use if they were their own regions, the less, and the least amount of water per person of any region in california. residents in the combined san francisco service area use just
3:42 pm
54 gallons, per person per day over the last year, compared to the state wide average of 82 gallons, san francisco residents just used 41 gallons and a previous speaker and the great investments that they are using and since they used 90 gallons per person per day, and in la use about 80. if the sed and the document were adopted it could up and end the general plans and this is where the big concern is, it could up end the general plans around the communities that already use the extremely low quantities of quart per person and some of the areas are the most housing impacted regions in the bay area, and including san francisco and a lot of places in the sil con valley and so we are concerned that if the plans are put into place without the proper, and without the properly done, it would force communities around the bay area to reexamine their housing supplies plans and could impact the region's ability to grow. so we could encourage the board
3:43 pm
respectfully to join with the bay area council and encouraging a voluntary tar settlement gret to safety these discussions. in ethank you very much. >> i think public comment is over. >> is there any other speaker who would like to give public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. >> supervisor fewer would you like to make concluding remarks. >> i would like tocy thank you for coming out. i think that we have a lot to deliberate over, i think that the testimony was excellent and i think that i actually got a deeper understanding of what is what we are facing with this proposal and that i think that this is an item that i believe that will come before the full board at one time. if i'm correct, is that -- right? >> i think so. but any way, we thank you for coming out today. very informative. >> yeah.
3:44 pm
>> i would just end by thanking everyone who came out to educate us about this issue. it is incredibly complicated. you know, and intuively i would say that given the extremity of the climate change and the extreme weather, that planning for an 8 year drought does not seem unreasonable to me. that the puc is taking those steps given you know, what we are seeing, and in our society, and in the fact that as we speak, the epa is being des mated and so at least in the immediate future, i don't, i don't see great change in the positive direction with regard to climate change. it was confusing to me as a policy maker, is the different science on what level of flow will actually solve the problem which needs to be solved. we need to protect the salmon
3:45 pm
and the bio diversity of their habitat. and i again, want to mention that i am worried that if the settlement is reached and we figure out what the appropriate flow is, that we need to make sure that we work together to make sure that that flow remains in the river and is not diverted towards other sources. and while i understand that the advocate see the settlement discussions as delayed tack i can, i hope that they bear fruit and that we can come to some agreement. but i really thank everyone for their time coming out today. and educating us on those issues thank you so much. >> and supervisor so i would like to make a motion to file this hearing. >> okay. >> supervisor fewer has made a motion to file this hearing without objection, the hearing is filed. madam clerk are there any other matters? >> there is no further business. >> thank you so much, good afternoon, everyone. >> thank you very much.
