SFPUC - Annual Reports Stronger Today | Page 16

Our mission To provide our customers with high-quality, efficient and reliable water, power and sewer services in a manner that values environmental and community interests and sustains the resources entrusted to our care. Congressman John E. Raker of Manteca sponsored the Raker Act, a collaborative solution for water use on the Tuolumne River that allowed for construction of the Hetch Hetchy Project, a regional water and power system. In 1913, Congress enacted it, and President Woodrow Wilson signed it into law. Today, this system reliably delivers high-quality water to 2.6 million Bay Area residents, and generates clean hydroelectric energy to meet the municipal needs of the City and County of San Francisco.
