hetch hetchy is about a quarter of it.hetch hetchy and the other reservoir, they can stay relatively full. at the height of the recent throughout 2015, the sfpuc had enough water in storage to last three years. on the far right you can see that the water bank is starting to fill getting into 2016. bay area storage not included in this slide. 2016 again, that was an average water year. into the summer, the tuolumne storage was back up to 85%. the bay area little bit lower because it was being constructed. in 85%, we have enough water in storage to last five years. keep in mind, three years of water in an average year, used a year's worth. we added two years into our storage. this is really quite enviable. at the same time, the state was still technically in drought. there were communities that were really struggling. here we have five years worth of water in storage. they have been the -- then we have the big water year in 2017. we needed 373,000-acre feet to fill the reservoirs. obviously there wasn't place to put all that

good part of the bay area relies on hetch hetchy reservoir in the water that comes down there. and of course, we haven't had a lot of snow. so that's an issue to 43% of normal in the northern sierra nevada. 46% of normal in the central sierra nevada and the southern sierra nevada. 23 1% of normal right now. hetch hetchy is running at a 118% of normal right now, but they're not going get a whole lot of snow melt this year as compared to previous years. now, one thing we do have hope for, though, is another rain event. and it looks like it's all holding together right now. this is not going to be a drought buster. this is not going to prove everything, but it will improve things a little bit, of course, is a comes through. but here it is put into motion here the next couple days look pretty nice. we're going to see some sunshine and a few clouds in those clouds really gathering on friday into saturday. but it won't be until sunday and there comes barreling into the bay area. i think by sunday morning significant rainfall event rolling through the bay area and then looks like we'l

during his time as city attorney, he defeated an attempt to drain hetch hetchy, worked to close the cities last fossil fuel plant and unsuccessfully attempted to buyout pg&e is a san francisco infrastructure to create a municipal system. if they are confirmed to the new post, mayor breed would appoint a new city attorney. >>> days after former east bay assembly member rob ponto was sworn in as california attorney general, he now has a second challenger for his job. >> let me be clear, the newly appointed attorney general has voted for and supported policies and laws that are not only destroying the rights of crime victims, but are destroying public safety in the state. >> sacramento county district attorney anne-marie schubert announced her 2022 caide rmer r listed herself since 2018 as having no party preference. she recently rose to natiin golden state killer joseph d'angelo. there was also republican in the race, southern california attacks in defense attorney nathan hochman announced his candidacy last week. >>> still ahead, lyft makes a major strategy move, the deal designed to make s

the most people for and i see commissioner scott laughing at hetch hetchy. because they are out of sight and out of mind. and special communications to them and acknowledging them and understanding what their needs might bereally outstanding opinion and also thank you for bringing in the retiree groups. we're here, as my other hat is to be involved with the retired employees of the city and county. and we are here and anxious to collaborate with you on communications, so that people understand once they retire, they're not really gone from the city and they're not gone from the process. a lot of them think they just sit back and collect their benefit the and don't have to worry. and then there are changes and they -- they're suddenly surprised. they say, oops, what happened. and we're all about getting that information out in advance and working with you. and so this communications plan is really exciting and wonderful and very inclusive. i want to thank you for your efforts. we're looking forward to more coming from you down the road. thank you so much. >>

that would be return to hetch hetchy. sorry, return to pg&e and just to give you a scale of the number of people currently benefit from the moratorium in place. next slide. one thing we're tracking is where customers are located applying for the program. so these two maps show census track level information and the darker shaded areas are areas where a higher percentage of customers are applying as a percentage of total applicable accounts. in the case of residential is a total in each census tract. this allows us to overlay demographic information. as you all know we have a real marching order to consider racial equity and there's a whole lot of work within our agency to think how our collections process and discount programs have a disproportionate racial impact. it would not surprise anyone to see the highest number of applicants are from our southeast parts of san francisco where we know we have more low income communities and more black, indigenous and people of color households and want to take a sharp eye how the r

so from hetch hetchy generation, we'll be connecting to the kaiser grid, and from the kaiser grid through the pg&e system through the potrero substation, where we will interconnect with pg&e. from the potrero substation, we would build our own line underground at 230,000 volts, and then, we will have our own substation called david [inaudible] substation, from there to the bctd or the distribution system, where we will be serving all the customers that i identified in the previous slide. next slide, please. so we're presenting this for your approval today. there's a need to interconnect with the pg&e transmission system because we do not have any other points where we can interconnect to. without the interconnection lines or without the connection to lines for pg&e, there's no way we can power or provide the energy to the bctd. so here's the current status of the bctd project. the infrastructure project, meaning the distribution and transmission site, we are about 50% complete. that's where the conduits on the streets have been built. the davidson substation is about complete. in order to

at its center or two men, john muir who argued that his gorgeous valley and hetch hetchy in the national park should be preserved. pinchot said that san francisco needed a new safe reservoir. so in san francisco applied for a dam in the hetch hetchy valley, pinchot was one of those who supported. >> the eventual decision to build the dam be a crushing blow to john muir. it would lead some to create a new agency to create -- to manage the national parks. >> i started out as a john muir guy. i had no idea what this is all about. i do go back and read the book. the first article of conservation was development. how would that be the first prince will of conservation? it was not until i got a spirit in working in communities that the central problems of economics and you will never solve conservation if you can never address the fundamental well-being of the community and he came t -- if you can't address those parts of the equation, you can't address anything. >> he was convinced it would only succeed if the citizenry felt they were paying a dividend to them. and so, he has to figure out a

you see says the city's reservoirs which includes hetch hetchy in yosemite, earn an average of 82% ofaximum which should be enough to last the summer, although the s up, you see always encourages people to conserve water. so far there are no plans in place to implement mandatory restrictions in the south bay, the santa clara valley water district has called for a 20% voluntary reduction in water use. but the district believes that they have enough water to meet demand at least for this year and in the east bay, the east bay municipal utility district which serves one 0.4 million customer says the reservoirs are at 80% full. so far they have not announced any plans to ask customers to cut back on water use. all right. back live now at the governor's signing today. he said that there could be additional instruction from the state. >> as the weeks continue at the drug gets worse at this point. unclear if orders from the state would impact what's happening at the local level. but for now in the south bay, charles clifford kron 4 news. thank you so much, charles. >> much more ahead here on

some places maybe have hetch. hetchy is to not so bad. certainly a concern and we're going be very careful with our waters we had in the dry summer months out there right now. nothing inside to bring any rain. just some clear skies and patchy fog likely to form along the coastline overnight tonight. but boy, there's just not much out there. huge dome of high pressure now building in overhead. that ridge brought you the nice warm temperatures today. we're up in the mid 80's and some of the valley's today. so well above the average for this time of year. and i think tomorrow maybe not in those temperatures down a few degrees but still above normal for this time of year outside right still fairly warm in places like san jose at 63 have a cocker. you're looking to 71 degrees outside right now. 70 in antioch, 65 degrees a little more. it's cooler actually approaching the coastline somewhat unusual, but the water's right along the coastline have been remaining very, very cold in the 40's in the 50's netscape those temperatures much cooler up to

and then the hetch hetchy. and lake merced, we can pull water out of the lake that holds 1.2 to 2 billion gallons. and we have a feed from sunset reservoir with a feed from north basin and the hetch hetchy regional water supply. during the up coming projects with the eser 2020 bond, we have the completion of the study that has to be presented to the board of supervisors by june 30th of this year. we have the completion of the neighborhood detailed analysis, again by june 30th of this year. we have to develop a comprehensive city-wide plan by december 31 of this year. and that will analyze whether the board of supervisors want to present another separate eser bond just solely for the a.w.s.s. system as well as securing additional post tenders to bridge the gap until we get the full up and running. i included a map from one of the draft. this broke san francisco down into five regions for the salt water pump station study. we have the southern dunes. you have the rocky area south to china beach. then you have the

and hetch hetchy, so it's really pardon to have fuel cell pencil out, given our cost of energy. >> thank you. thank you. that's super helpful. good to be reminded of that, discussions that we had in 2018. things that we were certain about then are not necessarily what we're certain about today. i agree that we need to be sort of flexible on this policy as technology changes, as thinking changes, and the idea that maybe, you know, we do want to keep the trolley buses because the power source is just easier to deal with. that's all my questions, chair. i'm happy to make a motion, chair, when we're ready. >> yeah. thank you. director heminger, you had more comment? >> yeah. just one little aside to julie. i'm sure that you're aware that the m.t.r. in tokyo makes its all trolley cars, so maybe you ought to get in the trolley business. we can take you into that. but your point and the point that a couple of our commenters have wanted to get on the table is the need for regional action here. we've got a lot of transit operators, and they've all got to comply with the same regulation. i know it

and they draw clean energy from the hetch hetchy dam.our hybrid buses are all -- well, they're all hybrid diesel and they run on renewable diesel. so overall our vehicle footprint is very small. transportation is the largest contributor to san francisco greenhouse gas emissions with making up about 45%. and within the transportation sector, muni is less than 1% of city-wide emissions. we are -- i think that is particularly significant because we carry between 25% and 30% of trips. the kind of bigger challenge i think we face is that cars and trucks make up about -- over 70% of that transportation sector footprint. so as we talk about how we make the muni fleet continue to make a very clean fleet cleaner, we also need it talk about the tradeoffs that has with other programs that help to get people out of their cars and on to more sustainable modes like walking, biking and transit. sfmta is very committed to procuring battery electric buses. we -- the m.t.a. board approved nine pilot buses that will be coming online later this year. in apr
