Ed Harrington: Challenges and Progress for the SF Public Utilities Commission and Bay Area Customers (7/14/09)

Ed Harrington, General Manager, San Francisco Public Utilities Commission

After consultations in San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara and Alameda counties, Harrington has brought in a new SFPUC era of Hetch Hetchy retrofit and rebuilding, water sales agreements, water conservation and reuse, climate change response, sewer master plan, GOSolarSF and a community choice aggregation program for power. He’ll discuss water, sewer and power issues and protection for rivers, waterways and watersheds.

This program was recorded in front of a live audience at the Commonwealth Club of California on July 14, 2009.
