1. 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.
