and south of lake merced. so we don't know what the capacity of this aquifer is and it's been studied over and over and over again. you have spent millions of dollars studying this aquifer. what is the current water content of the west side basin aquifer, both north and south? is it 50%? 75%? 90%? we don't know. it's not on your website. the big question is at what percentage level would pumping be suspended? and what would be the protocol? who is going to have that switch that goes "stop?" we need to know that. i mean the community needs to know that, because lake merced now is a really an expanded community water resource. how many wells can presently pump water from west side aquifer? are these wells metereds? how much do they pump monthly and annually? and how do we know that the west side basin aquifer can support the 16 additional wells? as was stated in the slide, the vista grande project depends on solving water quality problems in lake merced and how are we going to do that? we are really interested i

on lake merced and how it all ties together. first, about the water supply projects. we committed back in 2008, in the adoption of the wsip to levels in surface that limited delivery to the watershed and commitment to diversity our current portfolio. in addition, we also had a systemwide shortage target of not more than 20%, our goal there. so we had to do things in times of drought as well to protect our service area. in looking at how things fit together at lake merced, there are a number of projects that actually affect the lake both its level and its water quality. there depicted in this very simple diagram, starting from the right to the left, there is the west side recycled water project, which doesn't affect the lake directly, but does affect your ability to do the san francisco groundwater project, the local groundwater project and the groundwater project has an effect on the level of lake merced. the groundwater recovery project is the joint project with daly city, et cetera and it affects the left of the lake. the sewe

there is a big sequence of merced formation. this is a base in deposit that was formed by the interaction at the end of the continental margin. >> this is just on top. this is the same material that we were looking at at the last site. you can see it is on our way to the last side. it is deposited here by wind. it is 40-50 feet thick. this acts as a big sponge. the water flows through and it gets in a lower formation and then the water level starts to rise and it becomes a reservoir for water. this is dissipated during the more dry months of the year. >> this forms a big long skinny basin and runs into san francisco. it is the coastal bluffs areas that are subject to erosion from the waves and the ground water that comes out and you start to lose this. this is the largest example of failure for a long part of the coast. it has been moving continuously for a long time. >> the ocean was at the same level as we are standing. in 1982, and massive slide occurred further to the north of and one day it moves 5 feet and by the second da

without storage and recovery project, which i talked about at the last meeting in relation to lake merced, the acqueer storage project we're doing conjunctively and shift to the groundwater in dried periods when the basin would have recovered. that is an important project making sure that we have dry-year water available. even with the projects there is a 20% shortage that i talked in the first slide. so if we did not akoch accomplishment these projects there is a shortage allocation plan among the customers and the 20% is systemwide. so that applies very little to some people. mr. jensen can talk about that. i'm not surprised there are. certainly in agricultural districts there is a much greater hit going on a regular basis it seems in the central valley. >> i don't want to move ahead of your presentation, but i will get to the conclusions. >> okay. the other things that i wanted to make sure that we were aware of in obligations are in the water supply agreement. where we agreed to deliver to the wholesale customers up to the amount of supply assurances, 184 million gallons per day. that

begin, when you have the large projects that have to do with a city, construction, you know, park merced for example, this project has been going on or waiting for development for over a year, year and a half. and it could as long as that into future. i think that the longer that you have to wait, the longer that you have the people wait, in order to make a contribution, the more likely it is going to be a contribution that is not going to have any influence. and i think that undue influence is really what we want to avoid here. and one year is good, but two years might even be better. that is my suggestion, thank you. >> thank you. >> good evening, david pilpal and i want to clarify as to mr. bush's point about the san francisco housing authority. my understanding is that the housing authority is a separate agency from the city created under state law and subject to hud requirements but not subject to city ordinances, although the mayor does appoint the members of the housing authority board or commission. and i don't believe that our ethics law extend to the san francisco housing autho
