SFPUC - Annual Reports Building on Our Strengths | Page 2
GENERAL MANAGER’S MESSAGE
The San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) is pleased to
present its Annual Report for the 2009-10 fiscal year that ended on June 30,
2010.
This report provides examples of how the SFPUC has continued to build
on its strengths–rebuilding water and wastewater infrastructure; advancing
green power and environmental initiatives; constructing a new sustainable
headquarters and engaging our communities.
Despite the economic downturn, we continued to maintain strong financial
health and to meet challenges with resilience. With the prudent management
of resources, including funds already secured through low-cost successful
bond sales, we moved forward the $4.6 billion Water System Improvement
Program and the development of the Sewer System Improvement Program.
We are also leading the efforts in developing renewable energy for
San Francisco. Our continued work ensures that our customers receive
reliable and high-quality water, power and sewer services.

Our commitment to sustainability has won national recognition. In FY 2009-10, the SFPUC received major awards for
environmental leadership from the San Francisco Planning and Urban Research Association and the National
Association of Environmental Professionals. Our three wastewater treatment plants at Oceanside, Southeast and Treasure Island also received Platinum and Gold awards from the National Association of Clean Water Agencies.
The SFPUC is recognized for fiscal transparency and accountability and is the recipient of two Government Finance
Officers Association’s awards: (1) the Distinguished Budget Presentation Award and (2) the Achievement for
Excellence in Financial Reporting Award for the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report.
We are proud to be your sustainable water, power and sewer utility.
