Susan Leal is no Engineer and cannot lead the SF Public Utilities Commission

by Francisco Da Costa
Susan Leal is no engineer and cannot and will not ever be able to lead the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission. So far, Susan Leal has failed us with the Clean Water Project and especially Hetch Hetchy. Now, without completing the Clean Water Projects she wants to deal with the Waste Water Projects linked to San Francisco and waste millions of dollars. Susan Leal makes $300,000 a year with perks and has a written contract without any qualifications. Time will tell.
At one time San Francisco could boast of good Engineers and good leaders. Most of these leaders lived in San Francisco and were proud to be San Franciscans.

In recent times we have implants with hidden agendas and one such person who has been a misfit is Susan Leal - attempting to address critical Clean Water and Waste Water projects costing millions of dollars and having no idea and less leadership - because she is NO engineer.

Susan prods and uses folks like Tony Irons who is her mouth piece. Tony Irons with help from Mayor Willie L. Brown Jr. helped complete the construction of City Hall when there was a stalemate with cost over runs.

Today, the Hetch Hetchy Project is in a mess and no one worthy their salt is taking on the SF Public Utilities Commission and especially Susan Leal a misfit.

Hetch Hetchy is a Engineering Marvel and has won the praise of some of the world's best engineers since it was built in the early 1920s. Now, a woman without any engineering expertise and less with leadership is wasting tax payers' money.

It is simply amazing, how so many San Franciscans are allowing Susan Leal a misfit to carry on her daily duties - while wasting millions of dollars on her cronies and consultants.

Daily the 900 miles of sewer pipes and the 1900 miles of clean water pipes are leaking and polluting our watershed. We are lucky that we do not tap into our watershed and wells to use drinking water.

We get our water from Hetch Hetchy - Sacred Water that was stolen from the First People. We waste this Sacred Water and we even use it to flush our toilets.

In years to come - water will be a very precious commodity.

Global warming will teach us a lesson - if we do not learn to conserve, we will bear the consequences:
