Eastside Recycled Water Project

The proposed Eastside Recycled Water Project would deliver high-quality recycled water to a variety of customers on the east side of San Francisco through a system of treatment, storage, pumping, and pipeline facilities. The goal of the Eastside Recycled Water Project is to save about 2 million gallons per day of drinking water that would otherwise be used for non-drinking purposes such as irrigation and toilet flushing. The development of recycled water allows the City to sustainably manage its water resources, and ensure a reliable water supply into the future.

San Francisco Mayoral Candidates Food and Water Forum

Although this meeting isn't taking place in D10, access to good, clean food, water, and green spaces are things that are important to all of us, and so I thought the meeting might appeal to people in the Southeast part of the city, too.

 

The Tuolumne River Trust and Restore Hetch Hetchy is co-sponsoring a San Francisco Mayoral Candidates Forum that will look at the intersections of water, healthy food, and green space in our city.  

Please join us in asking the next Mayor of San Francisco to lay out a vision for a healthy and sustainable future!

 

Our Food, Our Schoolyards, Our Water

Monday, September 26, 6:30pm-8:00pm

At the LGBT Community Center

1800 Market Street @ Octavia

Free event (RSVP here)

 

Regardless of who is elected, the next mayor will make big decisions regarding our food and water resources. At the forum, candidates will discuss their positions on hot topics including community gardens and urban farms, rainwater harvesting, stormwater management, recycled water, and a potential desalination plant in San Francisco Bay. The forum will serve as a great way to find out where the candidates stand on these important issues - and how they will affect the future health of the Tuolumne River!
