the house/senate regional wear-out system your our employees joy excessive salaries but working for the city and county of san francisco give us employees the unities to contribute their ideas and energy and commitment to shape the city's future but for considering a career with the city and county of san francisc tord to order. can you please rise for the pledge of allegiance. [ pledge of allegiance ] >> president turman, i'd like to call roll. >> president turman: please

do. [ roll call. ] >> clerk: commissioner turman, you have a quorum. also present with us today is the chief of police, william scott, and for the department of police accountability, miss sandra marian. >> president turman: okay. members of the public, welcome to the may 2nd, 2018 regular meeting of the san francisco police commission. this evening, we have a long closed session calendar, so -- which is likely going to be very time-consuming, so due to the complexity and the length of closed session, public comment is going to be limited to two minutes. and with that, i'm going to turn it back over to secretary kilshaw for the first item.

>> yes. thank you, secretary kilshaw, i'm going to interrupt the president of the commission tonight because this is a very special night, and it is a very hard night for some of us. tonight is president turman's last night on the commission, and he may not know this but tonight is a very special night for him. i have with me a proclamation from the mayor of san francisco, and julius, he may not know it, but today is julius turman day in san francisco. [applause]. >> president turman: it would have been nice to know that at the beginning. >> well, you know, plenty of time left in the day. i'm going to read the proclamation. it's actually very appropriate. whereas the city and county of san francisco traditionally recognizes individuals who have made significant and remarkable contributions to the vitality

of our city, and the dedicated and vital work of l. julius turman sincere rerepresenting the city of san francisco at its best. he has served the city and county of san francisco in various capacities, joining the police commission in 2011, stepping into the vice president, and then serving as the president of the body over a year. president turman might run commission meeting with a pragmatism of suffers no fools demeanor, he has been witness to comments delivered as jives, poems, raps and beats, whereasture mass was instrumental in overseeing the police reform efforts, successfully revising several key policies, including use of

force, body worn cameras, written communications and complaints against officers, ensuring the department operates the highest national standard, and whereas recruitment is often an arduous process, turman exercised his acute judgment of character, supporting chief william scott after a tremendously long and collaborative journey that included public input as well as filing key positions at the dpa and the commission office. whereas according to the sometimes ungodly hours of the julius turman e-mail which we've all received, he doesn't sleep, ladies and gentlemen. he's been known to land in your box that seems to need no more than 45 minutes of sleep a night, which means that the remaining 23 hours and 15 minutes are split between his time at his firm and helping the sfpd reaches the highest

pinnacle, making sure every person knows in the department how important his or her service is, and everybody feels safe and able to live their best san francisco life. therefore be it known that i mark e farrell do here by proclaim may 4, 2018 to be l. julius turman day in san francisco. [applause]. >> and we're not done yet. we have some special guests here, too. so on behalf of the san francisco police commission, i'm not going to read this certificate of appreciation. this is to you, julius, for your hard work, and for everything you've done as a commissioner, and you know, i give this to you with great pride. you know, our friendship. i see former president susie

loftus is here today. you know, in my career, i have served with some notable and incredibly successful people. on this commission, president loftus, president sparks. i've served in the department of justice with judge ryan, robert mueller. i served in the d.a.'s office with kamala harris, and you're there in my life as people who have defined who we are and who the city is. i have to tell you from the day i first met you, i found you to be honest. the first day you meet someone, you go he's okay, or no he's a blankety-blank. you know, in a city that believes in a lot of identity politics, you are a michigan wolfe

wolferine, a former u.s. assistant attorney out of michigan, a managing partner of a law firm. you are a family man, your whole family comes out to celebrate with you. you're a great person, and a great police commissioner. you're really going to be missed. you're a great commissioner, and on behalf of the commission, i'm going to miss you, buddy. i think former commission president loftus has a few words she'd like to add. >> commissioners, good evening. i don't think this is the public comment section of the agenda, otherwise this would have been my first time to make public comment to the police commission. >> two minutes and you're out of here. >> your time is up. i wanted to give you that opportunity, president turman. it's so wonderful to see everybody, hello. president turman, i'm here for you. i haven't been back since i left the commission a year and a half ago, but i couldn't miss a chance to come back and honor

what you've given to this city. i think it was former chief greg sur who used to remind us sometimes, you know, julius is a really fancy lawyer, and he would ask how much you actually get paid every hour. i think it's high up there. as a government lawyer, please don't tell me. i don't want to know. but over the seven-plus years you've been on this commission, the hours that you have spent in discipline hearings, in time when we've been in closed session struggling with some of the biggest issues this police department has faced, you have been dedicated every single moment so what is best for this city, what is best for this department, and you have shined in your integrity, president turman. you make the decisions for the right reason, you care deeply about this city, and you have given a tremendous amount. it was an honor to serve with you, and thank you for the kindness and the partnership you showed me and you've shown all of your colleagues over the years because you've made things better, and the city is

very grateful. thank you. [applause]. >> president turman: are we done now? >> i think we're done now. president turman wants to get back to the agenda, and i'll -- >> president turman: i was just going to say thank you to everyone, and i will come back during commission comments and make my comments, so thank you so much. thanks so much. >> should we tell him now? we were going to save this, but you're invited to come back to every police commission and talk in public comment moving forward. >> president turman: thank you so much, but you know, be careful what you ask for. all right. madam secretary, we'll start with the first line item. >> line item one.

[agenda item read]. >> president turman: commissioners, in your packet are the meeting minutes from those dates, march 14, april 4, april 11, and april 18, 2018. hopefully, you had a chance to peruse them. if you have any comments or revisions to them, please let us know. if there are none, then i will entertain the appropriate motion. >> move to accept. >> second. >> president turman: all in favor? any opposed? thank you. those minutes are adopted. next item, secretary kilshaw. [agenda item read].

>> president turman: okay. chief, did you want to say anything further? >> nothing -- nothing further. >> president turman: okay. all right. so as i understand it, la casa de la madres is receiving this from dignity health, and they've sent us $10,000 connected with participation in the bayview domestic violence high risk program. i'll entertain the appropriate motion. >> move to accept. >> second. >> all in favor cler. >> clerk: can we have public comment on that, commissioner? >> president turman: i'm sorry. public comment on that, item 2. seeing none, public comment is now closed.

with public comment now closed, i will reopen the floor for the appropriate motion. >> i think you just call the question. >> president turman: okay. call the question. all in favor? any opposed. okay. that is now approved. secretary kilshaw. [agenda item read]. >> president turman: good evening, chief scott. >> good evening, commission, commissioner turman. i'll start out with crime trends for this week and start off with violent crime. homicides are down 28% from this time last year. we had 13 homicides as of the last reporting period. our shootings -- shooting victims, i'm sorry, are down 17% with a total of 39 year to

date. homicides with firearms, we've only had six for the year, which is 54% below where we are last year, and our toting gun violence is down 25%. our total violent crimes, that includes all the part one violent crimes, we're down 36%, and part two violent crimes, we're down 14.55%. auto blaerz are down 25%, which is equivalent to 2,000 less auto burglaries than last year, and all the strategies that we've put in place will continue, and hopefully, we can continue to push that down in the right direction. in terms of special events, items of interest, the department continues to provide opportunities throughout the city as part of our youth engagement efforts. our youth wilderness hikes is

one of those things. this happened this past week, and that was at our lady of visitacion. students went to angel island, and st. john's students went to mou mount -- i'm having trouble pronouncing this. tamalpais. one event to report this week, our peace parks is a continuing effort. i spoke about this in a prior meeting. it's a collaboration with rec and parks and the san francisco police department to give programming in some of the parks around the city in concentrated in various rec centers, so it's really gotten off to a good start. we believe this is part of the solution to address some of our violent crime, giving young people activities and programs in the parks, so that will

continue. the next peace park event for this week is tomorrow -- actually, tomorrow through sunday from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at hearst park in the ingleside district. and cinco de m 5 yo events occur this sunday at 10:00 a.m. it's an annual street events celebration. we don't -- we anticipate we'll be adequately staffed for that event. and that concludes the report for this week. >> president turman: thank you. chief. any questions for the chief? hearing no questions, thank you, chief. let's go directly to the report by dpa director henderson.

[agenda item read]. >> certainly. we are currently at 258 pending cases. last year this time, we were at 407 cases. i'll continue to -- every week to that similar update when we meet. we are still at 34 cases that are past the 270-day point. as a reminder, the majority of those cases are cases that are being tolled from other civil or criminal pending charges. we are continuing to fill folks in the management positions so we can continue to process the contract that we had from the department of technology to take over our department and bring the department current, both with software and with hardware. our -- the majority of the investigation unit right now is at a training, one of the things that folks had asked me to do was to provide more

training for our investigators, so i've sent the majority of the investigative team to aele training, which is use of force training, so they're in vegas right now, but i'm sure they're watching us on sfgov tv. this week, one of our lawyers who are here in the audience with us today, samra marian, spoke on dr. maeshrshall regarding violence -- biased policing. those are my updates for this week. >> president turman: thank you, commissioner henderson. sorry -- director henderson. any comments, questions for director henderson? no? okay. hearing none, let's move to the

next item, please. [agenda item read]. >> president turman: well, as commissioner mazzucco has said, today is my last day with the police commission, and this is -- the kind of work we do here, i guess you can never say, my work is done because there is plenty to always do. but it's been seven years. i'm proud to have had the opportunity to serve with such talented, intelligent commissioners. out of all those list of priorities -- high ranking officials that commissioner mazzucco named in his remarks, i want to tell you that susie

loftus, who was my friend and in whose foot steps i followed was probably the most instrument in helping me learn how to do this job. and this has been good work. i'm proud of the san francisco police department. i'm proud of its leadership and its chief. i'm proud of the department of police accountability. every day, they strive to make transparency and public interface, and the work we do even more accessible to the city and county of san francisco. and the people you don't see behind -- the behind-the-scenes people, you don't see what they do every day, the people who serve on our commission staff, the people who advise us from the city attorney's office, and

others who work hard to make sure we live up to the mandates of the charter of the city of san francisco. they deserve our highest respect and thank you. and thank you to the citizens of san francisco who have constantly given me reminders in many, many forms of what they believe san francisco should be, and i hope to some measure i have lived up to that in the last seven years. thank you for the time, the attention, and the ability to serve. thank you. commissioners, and i'll say -- commissioner dejesus, i'm sorry. >> commissioner dejesus: so i also want to say thank you to commissioner turman. you've been refreshing, you've been plain speaking, you've been pretty blunt with us. it was refreshing to have that

bluntness, but you also had understanding of complex and difficult issues that we faced. you know, you and commissioner loftus led us through some pretty trying times in the community and some trying community meetings, but i think most of that was successful, and we have come away with a body of policy for this department that really moved us into the 21st century, and we have to continue that march into the 21st century and best practices, and hopefully by doing this, we're going to be changing the culture of the department. so i want to thank you for your dedication and long hours. as you said, people have no idea what goes on behind the scenes, so thank you so much. >> president turman: thank you. commissioner hirsch? >> commissioner hirsch: i also want to thank you. i've only been on the commission for a year, but you've been the president for that year. and i've learned a lot from you, actually, in the year. ands and as i told you, your bedside

manner can be rough, but your heart and your mind is admirable, and i appreciate your leadership. >> president turman: okay. next line item, secretary kilshaw. [agenda item read]. >> president turman: anything anyone needs to schedule? >> no. >> not for me. >> commissioner? >> president turman: go ahead. >> i was just going to mention for the members of the public, the commission will be dark next weekend. we do not have a quorum. >> president turman: and please check your website because we're not quite sure how long we will be dark. so there are some commission appointments that need to be filled to bring the quorum levels back up to speed, so please make sure you're

checking our website. >> we should be clear with the public. it's not that the commissioners here are not willing to attend. we are willing to attend, but we will not have a quorum with commissioner turman leaving -- the president turman leaving. we have two commissioners pending reappointment, and we have two -- we have two openings, so we don't have a quorum. as soon as the board of supervisors moves on that, then hopefully, we can recon convenient oreconvene our meetings. >> president turman: all right. public comment on-line items 3-a through d. any public comment? 3-a through 3-d? hearing none, public comment is now closed. [ gavel ]. >> president turman: secretary kilshaw, public comment. [agenda item read].

>> clerk: please limit your comments to two minutes. >> president turman: any general public comment? >> hello. hi, everyone. good evening or good -- you know, i just wanted to say i'm sorry that you're leaving also, and i know we had a few brushes

together, but thank you for being here. and i also want to say i want here last week, and i know last time you were on the board, you said you were going to have a letter written for dpw. you weren't here, so the vice president said he would sign it. but i guess they had to wait until you got back. >> president turman: i signed the letter today. >> okay. thank you. and the other thing is can i use the overhead, as i come every time to talk about my son who was murdered august 14, 2006, we still have no -- no closure, no one's come forth. i bring the names all the time of the people who murdered my son. thom

thomas hannibal, marcus carter. we're still looking for closure, and i always talk about our posters being out there, say where was you when i was murdered? we still need to see you for our children to be out there, so the perpetrators can see their victim. thank you. >> clerk: thank you. >> president turman: thank you. any further public comment? all right. hearing none, public comment is now closed. next line item, secretary kilshaw. [agenda item read]. >> president turman: all right. so ladies and gentlemen, members of the public, what

we're about to do is we are going to consider our closed session agenda which has some personnel matters on it. now, what we're doing now is we're about to vote as to whether or not to go into closed session. we're giving you the chance to give us public comment on that-dwthat that -- the vote as well as whether or not we should go into closed session. so with that, public comment is now open on that. any public comment? all right. hearing none, public comment is now closed on item six. [ gavel ] [agenda it [agenda item read]. >> so moved. >> second. >> president turman: okay. all in favor? any opposed? all right.

ladies and gentlemen, we thank you for attending the first half of the open session. we are now about to go into public -- or closed session. we'll return after

>> clerk: commissioner, you're back in session on an open record and you still have a quorum. >> president turman: okay. next line item. [agenda item read]. >> move not to disclose. >> second. >> president turman: all in favor? all right.

nondisclosure, we are in -- that is a unanimous vote. thank you. >> clerk: item nine, adjournment, action item. >> well, i'm going to move that we adjourn in honor of commission president julius turman, who you are he going -- who's going to have julius turman day in san francisco, so i think we should have a par aid -- parade. a lot of good things was said tonight about julius, but one of the best was integrity, and he was able to make good decisions despite disparate political forces. he's totally a straight shooter. so god bless, and i'd >> the meeting will come to

order. welcome to the may 9, 2018 of the regular meeting of the public safety and neighborhood services committee. i am supervisor receive sheehy, chairman. to my right is supervisor ronen and supervisor yee subbing for supervisor peskin. >> if you wish to have a motion to excuse, it would be in order now. >> do i have a motion? without objection. the clerk is john carol. and i would like to thank leo and michael from sfgov tv for staffing this meeting. mr. clerk, do you have any announcements? >> yes, thank you, mr. chairman. the completed speaker cards should be submitted to the clerk. items acted upon will appear on the may 15, 2018 board of supervisors agenda unless otherwise stated. we are in receipt of a presidential action memo dated

may 3, temporarily assigning south korea supervisor yee in place of supervisor peskin. >> today's meeting will be calling item four out of order. could you please all item number four? >> a the implementation and progress of the police department property crime unit to present information on the structure and practices of the neighborhood property crime unit as well as the regular updates of their progress. >> thank you. we will hear from ellie miller hall from supervisor stefani's office. >> hello. we just ask --

>> and the clerk with public comment is over. >>ened i make a motion to continue the item to the call of the chair. >> without objection. raw a >> now would ke take item number one. go to thego to the regular agen. >> to go to the regular agenda. >> to enter into a bonefied labor agreement with an organization. >> i am going to ask to continue the item, but i have a couple of amendments that i would like to make. so one for my colleagues. so the amendments that we are

making into the records with the amendments that we are making. page two, line 17, where we remove a statement that the applicant will enter into and abide by the terms of the labor peace agreement to read that the condition and the permit awarded under article 16 to abide by the terms of the either the following prior to award of such a permit. and then under line 23, the labor peace agreement. and 24, collective bargaining agreement with a bonefied labor organization. so i think those are the two amendment

amendments. i will be offering another amendment that the city attorney is drafting to change on page one, line 17. through 22 to remove that and change that to save bonefied labor organization meaning a labor union that represents or is seeking to actively represent cannabis workers in the city. so if you are prepared to take without objection. >> the motion to amend would be in order after we have taken public comment on the item. >> a great. is there any public -- and we are going to continue this, by the way. is there any public comment on this item? >> thank you. >> hello to everyone. haven't seen you in some time. good to see you. and so we have been working with

labor on this and the industry is facing a lot of challenge with regulation and compiling giant checklists with the state and as a box they need to check and not fully understanding the relationships they need to get into and what they are signing. so we're educating our members on both the retail and nonretail side on this issue. and we're in support of the continuation. and also in support of with this environment from something that would be required to apply to something that is required before the final permit is issued to give us three, six, nine months, in many cases a year depending on the project and how controversial it may be to work and find the best cultural fit. if you are a cull -- if you are a cull activator or retailer. we are going unregulated to

regulated and to organized labor is a whole different thing. we are all just learning as we go. and i would like to thank the supervisor's office and the labor organizations that have been talking to from the comprises thus far. and i support the continuation. >> thank you. please, no applause. if this is the agreement, you can do the happy fingers. and thank you. can i get kristin? i think i have a comment from kristin from teamsters medical 7. is there anyone else who would like to make public comment? public comment is closed. so public comment is closed. thank you. the one mement that -- the one amendment we have in writing, can i take that without

objection? and i think we will continue it to the next meeting. >> the next regularly scheduled meeting is the 23rd of may. >> we have a special on the 16th, right? >> do you want to go to the 16th? >> a let's try to continue to the 16th. >> without objection. >> >> motion from supervisor yee i am hering is to continue as amended to the may 16 meeting to the public safety and neighborhood services committee. >> correct. >> okay. >> and then i think we're ready for item number two. so mr. clerk, the item two is the safety of the drinking water and testing standards for san francisco groundwater supply project. >> i will turn it over to supervisor yee. >> thank you very much chair sheehy. colleague, today i am holding a follow-up hearing from the first

hearing on may 24, 2017, on this safety and testing of the san francisco public utilities commission groundwater supply project, which blends water with groundwater. i originally called a hearing last year because i heard from several constituents citywide regarding their questions and concerns with regard to the safety of the blended water. starting in april 2017puc began testing very small amounts of blended water. which impacted districts one, two, four, seven, and 11. and as background, p.u.c. spent a decade testing the use of ground water in the supply. we requested the p.u.c. to slow down the blending amounts and continue testing. originally they planned to pump

one million gallons per day for the first full year of operation which would have been about 3% of the water supply in the sunset and central reservoirs. however, as p.u.c. will tell us today, they have significantly scaled back the blending amounts to less than .3 million gallons per day. to slow the process and to insure we are doing the right thing. since then we have conducted even more significant community outreach and as far as the office has heard, the level of concern from the community members has significantly decreased. i believe this is a good sign. understand that the fourth ground well is tested. and today we are here so that

the assistant general manager of p.u.c. steve richie can report back on the data they have collected. are you coming up first? come on up. >> yes, if we could have the slide please. good morning. i am assistant general manager steve richie of the public utilities commission. good morning, supervisors. thank you for the introduction. and thank you also for this hearing where i was identified as stevie richie. my wife is the only person who calls me stevie. i don't know who you have been talking to. >> that was me and it was very embarrassing. >> anyway, in today's

presentation, i will give the material that we presented last year. and it is good to refresh everybody. and to talk about the regional water system and specifically about groundwater in san francisco, and specifically a status update on the ground water supply project. and then i will add in another project that we have been working on that is getting ready for testing and will begin testing later which is from the last of the presentation. and this is the overview of the system. and the maps showing all the different kinds of supply that we use. and we serve 2.7 million customers in the bay air. and from the reservoir in the 5 bay area and the reservoirs we have and so there is a splend of the supply, and there is barely

waters and we get about 15% of the local supply from the bay area reservoirs. we share that water supply with the wholesale customers outside of san francisco. and this shows a timeline of how the system was developed over time. and basically i want to emphasize that the wholesale customers use about 2/3 of the watter from the system and they pay the cost of getting that water to them, which is about 2/3 of the cost for everything outside of san francisco. we serve up to 184 million gallons per day to the folks by contract. so they cover 2/3 of the cost outside of san francisco and san franciscans cover 1/3 of the cost. one of the reasons that we're into dealing with local water is we have risk to the regional water supply. the first is drought which reduces the amount of water available.

police station and employment growth. and while people are using less wat water, the population increase will drive up the demand for water. and recycles water and groundwater. conservation, i won't dwell on that. we are among the most frugal water users in the state in san francisco, and people have done a great job of conserving here. we broke ground on the west side recycle patter and reirrigating golden gate park with recycled water in another couple of years. we have the nonpolitical program and mandates that the developments of certain size produce their own water for toilet flushing and irrigation and water transfers, purified

water, which is taking waste water and converting it ultimately to drinking water around desalination and we are always looking at the possible option, but one of the key ones is groundwater thatment cos from the ground is sometimes known as well water. ground water is stored in underground reservoirs called auk weer if aquifers and deep sands that are historic sands that have been deposited over the my millenia. and note that 80% of californians rely on groundwater for part of the drinking water supply. groundwatter is a common place use in california. the basin extends from san

francisco south and diagonally cuts across the peninsula. from 1930 to 1935, the west side basin provided drinking water for san francisco before the regional water system was completed. it has provided drinking water to davey city, south san francisco, and for over 100 years. so it is a well utilized basin already, and i will get more into how we're going to change the use of that basin. the question i am asked all the time is why are we going groundwater and why now? number one is to reduce our vulnerability with the current supply such as earthquakes and climate change. this is to help reliably meet the long-term supply needs of the city. one of the things we all understand is you should be utilizing the local resources as well as distant resources and that diversity strengthens the ability of the system. and we need to be ready in advance of the need, not afterward. it takes a decade or more to develop the new water supply projects.

in this case i think the supervisor commented we had spent 10 years on this project. the 10 years before that we were doing investigations throughout the westside basin. in my estimation, we have been at this 20 years. and in groundwater, it is local, accessible, and high kauqualityo it works on all those counts for us. and the san francisco project will be pumping ground water from wells that are screened at 270 to 460 feet below the ground surface. and the groundwater is blended with the regional water supply at the sunset reservoir rs and i will talk about what the specific blend has been over the last several months. that blended supply is distributed to about half the city via the existing water distribution system. this trigger here -- this figure shows with the back line with the outline of the west side groundwater basin, so that is the source area for the groundwater. the orange circles on there are the four phase one groundwater wells that have now been

completed, and the two yellow diamonds are the phase ii groundwater wells we will be constructing soon and the total of six wells pumped up to sunset and sutro reservoirs and the blue shaded area of the distribution zones that will receive the groundwater, and they are literally a function of how they function in our system to go to the reservoirs and distribute it by gravity. and the areas that are not shaded and that are intermixed are sold by smaller reservoirs and that are expected to sutro or sunset reservoir. and i think that's pretty much it. pipelines are shown as well going up the sutro and sunset. this is a good, quick snap shot. the treatment blending strategy

which has been approved by the state includes the disinfection added at the well station and that is for disinfection going into the distribution system so that nothing will regrow there. and one of the characteristics of ground watter is because it passes through by percolation at such an extensive amount of sand for filtration purpose, it usually is a high quality from a back bacterialogical sense and it's in a larger distribution system. and adjusting the ph with sodium hydroxide to max the regional water supply to optimize for corrosion control to make sure we don't have any problems experienced like in flint. that is just horrible examples of corrosion control is an important part of anything we put into to change the supply. and blending groundwater with watter from the regional water system supply into the reservoirs before distribution to the customers.

sunset playground, and south sunset and central golden park have been constructed and test and approved as supervisor yee noted, we just completed the eight-week test of the central golden gate park well near the end of april. so those have been successfully through the testing programs individually. we will now enter a period coming up in the future of starting to test them in combinations with each other. and these wells have been coming on heavily along the line and that is in a small amount of groundwater since april of last year. that is when we first started to add groundwater and we have taken it very slowly for the reasons that the supervisor mentioned and also, frankly, for getting our staff really comfortable with operating new elements of the system. and they have really done a very good job about working through issues and so slowly adding over time. we are not in a hurry to get to

the one million a day level. that is the goal of the first full year of operation. what we get to say when that first full year start, and it hasn't started yet. we're basically making sure that the system really runs well before we start to try to rely on it more routinely. so i am going to give some progress report on what we have actually done, answering the questions of how much groundwater have we delivered as a result of the water quality be okay, and have we continued our community engagement. and we're pumping groundwater and delivering as planned from april through december of last year. we pumped a total of 5.4 million gallons of water. that is the total of 5.4 million gallons of water which is a very small amount when averaged out per day. there was a lot of starting and stopping as we dealt with different problems in the system, and from january through april of this year, we pumped about 30 million gallons of groundwater in total in that period as we got to the completion of the testing for

all the wells. again, much less per day than the one million gallon number, and again, this is a testing phase to make sure we get the system operating just right. the short-term goal is to deliver an average of one million gallons a day for the first full year of operation, but we have not started that first full year of operation. we are continuing to monitor and test and the results meet standards approved by the state. the water quality front and we completed the water and testing as required by the state water board. we continue this monitor rg and testing as the wells continue to blend groundwater with the regional water supply system. we have the data system and that is supervisory control and data acquisition to control what sen source and what is going on in the system and alarms with the automatic shutoffs built into the project to insure that blended water meets all state and federal water quality standards. if we start to approach in the concentration of any parameter

something that is going well outside the norm, we have automatic shutoffs. we want to make sure the system is really protective. one of the things that we have been doing and people say you may not be able to read the details of this, but you may not be able to read the details of this. this is a screen shot of what we have been putting on the website twice per month which is the water quality data from the blended water and for the groundwater that requires blending. basically we roll up the data twice per month and includes what the average blended water is over time. you will see that pie chart there in the corner showing the period and .1% groundwater. 14.8% and the water treatment plant from the peninsula. and the blue segment there is the valley water treatment water combined. those are the blends there over

time. and this represents the last two weeks. i want to talk about that blend that is an important factor of all this so that folks need to understand to show how the water supply blend change over time. the thin deliver and the blue color which is groundwater. there is a pale color that is what is from the tail county and from hetch hetchy and the almeda county reservoirs. for the two weeks prior to september 20, 2017, getting about 62% of the supply from hetch hetchy and alameda and about 38% from san mateo county reservoirs. this is because of different operational things that we're doing in the system. and as you moved into the end of the year, we were getting about

78% from hetch hetchy and alameda county and 22% from san mateo county and the slim .3% from groundwater. in march of this year, we were doing about 70% from hetch hetchy and alameda county and 29% from san mateo reservoirs, and about 1.1% groundwater. then this is the most interesting one here for the period that ended on april 1 of this year, the amount from hetch hetchy and alameda county was only 20%. it was a very small piece of the pie by comparison because we had actually taken the hetch hetchy system offline for maintenance during that period. so the vast majority of the water in san francisco was actually coming from the san mateo county reservoirs at that period about 78% and about 2% groundwater during the heavy testing period for the central golden gate parkwell.

again, the blend changes not constantly, but it is changing every few weeks as we do something different in the system. and we worked really hard to make sure there are no things that people notice. generally people don't notice the changes in supply and that is something strange happens like happened back in 2016. we had algae in the reservoir and that ended up with a two-week period where there was nothing we could do because it was all in the system. we had taste and odor issues. once we got it out of the system, things were back to normal and just as a quick aside, we are starting work on a project to actually o zinate the water which is the silver bullet for dealing with the taste and odor issues, so we should never face than again once we complete that project. a look at the water quality data -- >> i can just -- excuse me.

the groundwater into the reservoir at a certain rate. as i look at the pie charts and increasing to 1.1 groundwater with the increased gallons coming from the reservoirs. >> is that correct? >> and the san mateo county reservoirs with the crystal springs and that is where the majority of that watter is coming from. and so this increases over time for us. and blended in with that water. and with the concentrations coming in. >> that is why i am a little confused.

if i am looking at the two chart, it is almost doubling the percentage of ground water. >> from 1 to 2.1. and the percentage of the san mateo reservoir border has gone from a little bit more than double. >> from about 29% to about 78%. that is because we went from 29 to 78 to indicate that the groundwater should have gone up even more. and this is basically the total supply and each of the charts presents 100% and with san mateo county and 70% and hetch hetchy and 1.1% was groundwater. >> and the groundwater is blended into with the supplies

in the reservoir. >> the percentage of groundwater in your san mateo reservoir should be consistent. >> not necessarily because we had cut way back on the hetch hetchy supply there in the april 1 period. and we peaked up the delivery from the san mateo side and with the demand -- >> a let me try another way. >> the demand in the two periods is about the same -- >> i get it. i am focussing on the ratio between groundwater and san mateo. if you do the math, this is just guessing on the math right here. the 1.1% with 29.4% with that

groundwater coming from san mateo, right? >> it is in comparison to just the san mateo county water, but from the same set of pipelines, a certain amount of hetch hetchy and alamedo county water as well. that is part of the blend. not just san mateo, but all the water that is blended coming into the city. >> okay. >> so it's that you could say basically the golden part and the pale part together is what's coming into the city across the city line into san francisco. regardless of the source of which was the water coming from outside of san francisco. >> can i just because i started asking -- >> sure. >> -- and this has nothing to do so much with the drinking water itself, but there-
