2018 Initiatives: Expanding the OneWaterSF Vision
OneWaterSF Educator/School Education Program
Starting in 2002, the SFPUC has been engaging with San Francisco students to
educate them on the critical role they play in the resource cycle. Partnering with
the San Francisco Department of the Environment and San Francisco Unified
School District, this interagency collaboration has developed curriculum for
students in Grades K-6 centered on resource conservation and watershed
stewardship, administered field trips to water treatment plants and community
gardens, and created teaching materials and learning sessions for teachers.
To complement these efforts, this Initiative will support the development of
curriculum to reach grades 8-12 that will highlight the shift in how we manage
our resources and explore the OneWaterSF Vision and Guiding Principles.
These lessons will be designed to foster exploration and development of
career pathways in engineering and environmental design. This OneWaterSF
Initiative will demonstrate how the City is dedicated to reinvesting in the
future workforce and helping students connect to meaningful careers.
OneWaterSF in the Field

As we continue implementation of OneWaterSF, we want to ensure that the
OneWaterSF Vision and Guiding Principles reach all our employees, located
in San Francisco and beyond. The primary goal of this Initiative is to raise
awareness of OneWaterSF concepts throughout the SFPUC and help staff
identify how their work is contributing to the success of OneWaterSF.
OneWaterSF in the Field will deliver the Vision and framework of the program
to SFPUC staff through a series of roadshows and listening campaigns.
Representatives from the OneWaterSF team will gather feedback about
current projects underway that align with the OneWaterSF Guiding Principles
and identify champions across all Enterprises and Bureaus who can serve as
advocates of OneWaterSF. This Initiative will ensure the continued growth of
OneWaterSF while showcasing project successes for the agency.
