my last question is just what steps can puc take as we launch clean power sf just to guarantee that it is clean power and that potentially wree not utilizing certain categories where we purchase renewable energy credits that may not come from clean sources. >> ya. well, as i mentioned before we rin the process now of developing a request for offers for our initial power supply for clean power sf launch and that request for offers will only ask potential suppliers to deliver the bucket 1 category 1 resources to the city to supply its cca program. under the program all resources that sell energy to resale seller have to be certified by the state and they also have to track the renewable energy credits they initiate with a state accounting system called regius. all of the projects and energy we transact with for the cca program are tracked in regius and we can retire certificates and account for specific serial numbers generated. when i talk about certificates these are category one resources. every bucket relies on renewable energy credits. that is the way that we are and all retail sell

puc. first i'll say i'm a huge supporter of clean power sf and excited if we can launch this in the fall and think that both the initiative measure and ballot measure before us today are trying to achieve i think great goals which is inform our customers about where the true source of pow er is coming from. i think we all share the goal of providing 2 clee power the customers. one of the questions i have, i know go solar sf is sited as something that may not be included in the measure and the reference to category 3 for the general public, i know you reference california puc code 399.16 so under sickz 3 of that porz thf code, what are some of the other categories that would fall under that? for example one of my concernicize potentially we can go outside california, we could obtain power that is potentially not clean and green so wonder if puc or [inaudible] can speak to that issue because i think is valid one the initiative measure was trying to address. >> i'm happy to take a stab at that. so, under california state rules and the code that you cited the state created 3 sort of buckets or c

sf and the rates- the not to exceed rates that you adopted. the new rate structure that has been adopted by the california puc for pg&e, redistributes costs between transmission and distribution functions, from high-usage tiers to the lower-usage tiers. the clean power sf program competes with pg&e's generation component of the rate, not the transmission and distribution component. so that generation rate was flattened several years ago for residential customers, which means that these customers pay the same rate for generation, regardless of how much they use. so the rate compression that the california puc adopted affects transmission and distribution costs, not generation, and the clean power sf program competes with the generation component of the pg&e supply -- of the pg&e bill. so we don't expect the adoption of these changes to pg&e's rates to affect the clean power sf program or its competitiveness or require a change in the not to exceed rates that you have already adopted. >> if we're -- if the customer is responsible for paying the pg&e portion won't that portion of their rate go up? >> yes, it will, but it's not going to affect our co

we have a number of twice get information from the puc through twitter and facebook and our website sf water.org. >> people should not drink water from pools or spas. but they could use it to flush their toilets if their source are not broken. let's look at those issues. >> sanitation is another issue and something people don't usually or like to think about it but it's the reality. very likely that without water you can't flush and the sewer system can be impeded or affected during an earthquake. you need to think about sanitation. the options are simple. we recommend a set up if you are able to stay in your building or house to make sure that you have heavy duty trash bags available. you can set this up within your existing toilet bowl and once it's used. you take a little bit of our bleach. we talked about it earlier from the water. you seal the bag completely. you make sure you mark the bag as human waste and set it aside and wait for instruction about how to dispose of it. be very aware of cleanliness and make sure you have wipes so folks are able to wash up when dealing with the
