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.
