Embedded within San Francisco’s program to retrofit our ailing Hetch Hetchy water system is a plan to divert up to 25 million more gallons of water per day from the Tuolumne River. The Tuolumne, with its headwaters in Yosemite National Park, is a federally- protected Wild and Scenic River and a California jewel. With the looming consequences of global warming, an ever-growing demand for water, and the need to sustain the health of our rivers, delta and ocean ecosystems, the conflict over water has taken center stage.

We invite Pacifica residents to learn how our community is connected to these problems and howe can be part of the solution.
