Water conservation savings are estimated using the SFPUC Water Conservation Tracking Model. Savings are estimated lifetime cumulative
water savings up to 30 years. 516 million gallons roughly equals 1,584 acre-feet of water. An acre-foot is the standard metric used by many
water agencies to report lifetime water savings. One acre-foot is roughly equivalent to a football field filled with one foot of water.
