Presentation transcript:

SAN FRANCISCANS FOR SAFE QUALITY WATER OUR GROUNDWATER HAS HEALTH RISKS There are unsafe levels of nitrates, manganese, radon-222, pesticides & herbicides in our groundwater. They increase our risk for cancer, serious illness & birth defects. Testing every few months won’t help. Even “legal limits” are too high! GROUNDWATER ISN’T NECESSARY. Even with expected future growth & droughts, San Francisco can meet its drinking water needs well beyond 2040 with continued conservation and efficiency measures. It’s not an emergency water supply. A week after an earthquake or other disruption, a “Do Not Drink” order would be mandatory. STOP WASTING DRINKING WATER ON IRRIGATION, FIREFIGHTING & STREET CLEANING Use groundwater instead. VOTERS WERE MISLED Prop A was approved in 2004 for earthquake upgrades to our Hetch Hetchy system. There was no mention of spending $66 million to add polluted groundwater to our drinking water supply. We, the voters were misled by the SFPUC. Tell Your Friends & Neighbors!
