Annual Report for the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2014

Operating in Drought
In 2014, California experienced its third year of dry
conditions. A statewide drought was confirmed by
Governor Jerry Brown’s emergency declaration on
January 17.
By educating and working with our retail and
wholesale customers throughout the year, we saved
8 billion gallons across our regional system. If the
drought continues, this savings will allow us to stretch
our supplies into next year and minimize impacts to
our customers.
Despite challenging conditions, we delivered
217 million gallons daily to our customers.
We provided 100 percent of San Francisco’s
municipal power needs through hydroelectric,
solar and biogas generation. That’s an
environmental savings equal to 124 million
gallons of gasoline. And we cleaned 40 billion
gallons of wastewater for return to the bay
and ocean.
