. >> thank you general manager kelly commissioner caen and other commissioners. i will update you again on the drought with the slides that are available if we could have those brought up please. there are good news in here and challenges ahead. first a lot of these things that are familiar pictures. this is the storage in our system. hetch hetchy as you can see has been steadily coming down this year as it does every summer and less than 80% full right now and 285,000-acre feet. water bank has been steadily rising as well because we have been generating hydro power water from cherry and converting to rafting flows in cherry creek and in the river and ends up in the water bank so the water bank grown about 38,000-acre feet from the low point and trying to bring it back up so it can do the job as in prior years but the storage is 59% currently. the precipitation chart -- again it's flattened out. you notice the other dry years about bump up towards the end of the years and rumor thursday and friday there might be rain and maybe be the bump up this year. we will se

availability so anything that we can do and i applaud commissioner caen's question as well and anything that we can do will be significant and important. >> mr. kelly, i would like to request that we put on the calendar to have an update maybe quarterly on these various items that you just talked about. i think it would be nice to be apprized of that. >> great. >> okay. >> and can you keep me on your mailing list? >> i knew you were going to ask that. >> thank you. >> okay. the next item is new irvington tunnel update. dan wade. >> [inaudible] >> oh i'm sorry. i didn't ask for public comment. it's a bad habit of mine. public comment. >> it's important to have public comment because the drought affects everybody. one of the things that i have noticed we can make statements in general about the drought. that's okay. and everybody's hurting. i have -- since we live in san francisco we have to be forward thinking and we're not forward thinking. the staff is not forward thinking. we have proprietary technology that can help us right now, not only in the central valley but here in san francisco, and nobody wants to be forward thinking. like you know prim
