SFPUC pollutes San Francisco Water Shed.
San Francisco Public Utilities Commission continues to pollute the San Francisco Water Shed with its 1500 miles of clean drinking pipes and 900 miles of sewer peipe - most of them over 60 years old and leaking.
San Francisco Public Utilities Commission has fully knowledge that its over 1500 miles of clean drinking water are old and leaking at least over 70 percent of them are over 60 years old. The same if not worse the Sewer Pipes over 900 miles of them and over 70 per cent are 70 years old. Everyday millions of gallons of clean drinking water are wasted - simply put it is joke to tell people to conserve water when daily millions of clean drinking water is leaking and polluting the San Francisco Water Shed. Susan Leal and the SFPUC cannot figure that out. The same but this time the scenerio is even worse when it comes to the 900 miles of sewer pipes and filthy sewage leaching into the ground and polluting the Water Shed. We also have serious problems with the SFPUC not repairing, maintaining, and upgrading the whole Hetchy Hetchy system. One must remember the source of the water belonged to the Miwoks near Yosemite and the surrounding area. The land was stolen from them and the Sacred Water too. Now, San Francisco and the SFPUC takes this holy sacred water and misuses it. SFPUC can shout all it wants to conserve water but this cannot be done unless the clean drinking pipes and the sewer pipes are fixed and replaced. The United Nations should take note of this serious infringement on the part of San Francisco Public Utiliities Commission. Let us learn to walk the walk more - and less talk the talk. Also the United Nations and SFPUC should respect the Miwoks and all First People and that is not being done during the Dog and Pony shows during World Environment Day turned Week. Mayor Gavin Newsom has not addressed the millions of gallons of clean drinking water and raw sewage leaching into the Water Shed. The reason is simple the man is not educated on issues. Worse Susan Leal whom he has chosen surrounds herself with women that share her philosophy and most of them inept, ignorant, and very arrogant. William Carlin, Harlan Kelly, and other men continue to support Susan Leal because they have no balls. They fear the wrath of the woman who has been known to have fired people for NO CAUSE just because she does not like them. Susan Leal must be fired for her ineptness and being a puppet of Mayor Gavin Newsom. The constituents of San Francisco are fed up with SFPUC. The United Nations should study the way the Hetch Hetchy Project has adversely impacted the land, the air, and the water because of inept and corrupt people like Susan Leal.

OK, I can see how leaking sewage is polluting, but how can you say that "clean drinking water" is polluting the aquifer under San Francisco? This does not make sense.
Hetch Hetchy Valley was a Paiute food gathering area. The mountaineer Joseph Screech said that Paiutes were the tribe that owned Hetch Hetchy Valley.
