i think it's the program that can generate excitement about sfpuc because i don't think that sfpuc is boring, and it should never be considered as such. how do we continue the work of providing renewable and inexpensive electricity to san francisco with the goal of reaching toward 100% and to develop new ways of consuming electricity than swapping out devices such as gas stoves and ovens or vehicles that use natural gas or petroleum, etc. because the future is electric, and i practice it. i'm here in my own electric home practicing what's called demand-based electric pricing, which is something you find in businesses and institutions all the time. i'm developing strategies in my home to minimize electric draw. i think it's important that we draw harder in our work of delivering renewables and storage, and we made a good farther with our contract last meeting about a battery storage project, but that should only be the start, so i want the cleanest and greatest and most affordable san francisco we can get for my beloved s.f. home -- >> operator: thank you, caller. your time has expired

i'm sorry the sfpuc has to deal with this. the college and city officials have ignored this expanded use and instead blame the victims, the neighbors. even driving us for pointing out the expands use and asking that regulations and contract provisions be respected. there's a clause in your contract the college is required to mitigate impacts on the neighborhood. that has not been respected. i want to thank mr. richie for engaging with neighbors and acknowledging that this is a problem for the college. thank you commissioners for listening. >> thank you. next caller. you have two minutes. >> caller: hi. i'm a resident of the neighborhood. i live around the corner from the entrance. i want to clear that the belmont heights -- who has been argue being this, they're not official h.o.a. most of the neighbors actually weren't aware that this was being a battle that was fought. there's a little bit of traffic, may be a few a week. people are parking legally on legal public streets, driving legally on public streets. little bit of con

of contracting processes that the sfpuc issues. community benefits are submitted through the solicitation process in a voluntary manner, so solicitors do not need to provide community benefits, but they are provided up to five points on our scoring process? so the community benefits bid in were evaluated by a community panel in our solicitation process and scored, so, you know, one initial comment is, you know, that they did submit the benefits and they actually have provided already a fairly significant amount of benefits during the covid-19 emergency in that area. you know, we don't have the ability to -- since they are voluntary, this isn't something that the department can negotiate. >> supervisor safai: well, maybe i'm reading the b.l.a. report differently because the b.l.a. report says [indiscernible] is that a mistake? >> well, they bid it in. because they bid it in, that was captured in the contract. >> supervisor safai: so i don't understand your statement. you're saying you can't require it, but you're giving additional p

i'm with sfpuc's water enterprise. and i manage the retail water conservation program. just a quick note, conservation assistance for communities in san mateo, alameda, and santa clara counties that receive water from the p.u.c. get conservation assistance through the bay area water supply and conservation agency or bosca for short. can i have my second slide. great. so we just want to give a brief presentation briefly on water supply actions and give an overview of our conservation program. we are entering the third year of worsening drought conditions. our total regional water storage is at about 60% of capacity and normally for this time of year, it's at 82%. so we're lower than where we want to be. we staff our going to our sfpuc commission on november 9th to declare our local water shortage emergency. and by doing so, that then enables us to access the resources that are only available during emergency time. we are also going to be asking for a regional systemwide 10% reduction water use from 2019, 2020 levels. i know it says 5% here, and i didn't get a chance to u

that is another reason why sfpuc has always been a leader in the re-use system.re the first city to launch such requirements is something we started the first municipality in the nation to require this for new and large development and now we have made that strengthen what we have and make it broader to include more buildings and businesses as part of that. along with water reuse we have other water recycling projects going on. those initiatives include our water recycling project that will provide about 2 million gallons a day for golden gate park and presidio and lincoln park and irrigation water and some of the golf courses as well will be using some of that water. san francisco will always be a leader in conservation. as you heard we're using about 40 gallons per person per day which is quite low for the day. which is low and denmark is using 22 gallons and i say do not water your lawns with precious water and while we're doing re-use an recycling, it's great that we are here and i'm grateful for the team that's been trying to work hard to make water conserva

affordability is a top priority for the sfpuc and the cleanpowersf program. as a local government program, cleanpowersf prioritizes the needs of our san francisco community, not corporate shareholders. we recognize the challenges many of our customers are facing especially in light of the covid-19 pandemic. that's why we delivered $3 million in direct bill relief to low-income customers last year and decreased cleanpowersf's rates last year during the winter covid surge. this also helped us promote the care and low fare programs, decreasing costs by as much as 30% on a total energy bill. in addition, sfpuc has been engaged at the state level to advocate for debt relief assistance to our customers, at the legislature and the california p.u.c. this past month, residential and small commercial customers with more than 60 days of energy charges past due were enrolled into new pandemic payment plans. low-income customers that qualify for the care and fare programs may also participate in the new arrearage programs. this provides forgiveness to customers who make t

we actually got that information from sfpuc, and what we found in san francisco, in the past seven years, the number has decreased from nearly 300 -- 288 -- laundromats to just 200, and i think that that caused us to reinforce and understand what's going on here. the legislation before you seeks to introduce this as an ordinance issue. probably to no one's surprise, they tend to concentrate in higher density neighborhoods. they tend to be higher concentrations of lower income people. we found that laundromats disproportionately serve census tracts with more diverse racial and ethnic populations, so everything, everything that we were learning about laundromats is this is a use that we should step in to save, and again, that doing so is going to help benefit lower income communities, more racially diverse communities, and certainly, the senior communities. when it was about tons of bubbles, we were inundated with dozens and dozens and dozens of e-mails, probably over 100 people said even if tons of bubbles closes, the next laundromat is a block over, but i'm not going to be able to do tha
