We have been follow how pristine the clean
water is - along the way - inferior, treated water
is added in the name of Hetch Hetchy water -
and closer to home - ground water - compromising -
the quality of clean drinking water -
and the Raker Act of 1913
Time passes so fast - not long ago in the year 2000 - some of us remember about the ENRON energy scandal - the Williams Electric Company - entities and agencies - charged in access by ENRON.
It just so happens now - San Francisco Public Utilities Commission - was entangled in the web of corruption - not on the front end but the back end.
San Francisco was owed millions - the Williams Electric Energy Company decided to settle the matter - by turning over 3 Combustion Turbines - in lieu of cash payment.
SF Public Utilities Commission - is known for its buffoonery - never ceases to amaze us all - instead of cashing on the 3 Turbines - Susan Leal the then General Manager of SFPUC - (now a consultant ) fired by Mayor Gavin Newsom - now embedded as a consultant - at 525 Golden Gate.
Her partner in this devious plan that did not materialize - Karen Kubick - ( now the Project Manager of the SSIP) to place the 3 Combustion Turbines near Third Street and 18th Street.
The two of them - were determined to place the 3 Combustion Turbines - by Third Street and 18th - and fire the 3 Combustion Turbines - using fossil fuel - to further adversely impact the community - spewing very harmful particulates.
We advocates had to fight to stop this nonsense.
Mr Richard Sklar -
a decent, fair person - who understood -
the plight of those that continue to suffer to this day -
while crooks fill their pockets -
thinking they can get away with murder.
Mr Richard Sklar passed away - he left a legacy.
The only SF Public Utilities Commissioner - who understood our plight - Richard Sklar - a former Ambassador to Bosnia - and once the General Manager of the SF Public Utilities Commission, the MTA - appointed by Mayor Diane Feinstein.
The paradox the SFPUC wasted millions storing the 3 Combustion Turbines in Texas - costing them in access of $300,000 a year - thisnonsense went on for years - with the Combustion Turbines - serviced - fired and turned on - to maintain some normalcy.
After some years the SFPUC idiots - realized they should sell the Combustion Turbines - use the money - for much need expenses.
This was closer to the years - when this Nation was undergoing the spiraling of our economy - the year 2006 to 2011 - SFPUC too had some serious problems - much as it has today.
SFPUC has created a cesspool - and it will drown in this cesspool. Make no bones about it. Soon people in high places - will beg to retire - rather than go to jail.
Millions could have been saved - but millions were wasted.
Right now we see the same at Mountain Tunnel, Calaveras Dam, Irvington Tunnel - the lack of maintenance and replacement of clean water pipes - over 110 miles all over San Francisco and more Sewer Pipes over 120 miles all over San Francisco.
High density skyscrapers dot the skyline - and adversely impact our dual sewer system - while there has been talk to do this and that - raw sewage continues to adversely impact many areas in San Francisco more in the Southeast Sector.
Huge pipes bringing clean water from the Hetch Hetchy Reservoir - most of the water uses - gravity - there are many pump stations - most of them brand new - and all experiencing problems - more with valves - many of them malfunctioning.
The $4.6 Billion Water System Improvement Project is near its end - started in 2002 - $2.2 Billion of the $4.6 came from our Regional partners that San Francisco provides clean drinking water.
Be it that many of the companies - especially those manufacturing computer chips - waste millions of clean drink water - used for their cooling systems and so on.
Again and again - at the many SFPUC presentation - idiots make presentation - and when they called upon to explain - some pertinent issues - have NO answers - the advocates are simply fed up - and no one goes to the SFPUC meetings anymore.
In the year 2002 there was a Ballot Measure - to revamp the clean water and sewer water system. The clean water system was named - a fancy name - the Water System Improvement Project (WSIP).
The SF Public Utilities Commission arbitrarily decided NOT to implement anything much - more, with the Sewer System Improvement Project.
Birds eye view of the Phelps Sewage Treatment
Plant situated in the Bayview - you can call
the treatment plant and take a tour -
residents and others are welcome to see things for themselves.
Allowing thousands to suffer in the Bayview Hunters Point and a radius of over 3 miles - that has been experienced unbearable stench day in and day out - the smell of rotten eggs - the air pungent - creating tears in the eyes.
This nonsense has been tolerated by the community at large - since the mid 1960s.
Now we have the Sewer System Improvement Project that started with an estimated cost of $6 Billion but really is $10 Billion - and the idiots behind this scheme - are opening fleecing the tax payers.
The digesters started with a cost less than $2 billion and now is nearing $3 billion. The SFPUC thinks - it can keep pushing the buttons of the taxpayers - more, those from the Bayview Hunters Point. They are mistaken.
The SFPUC owes the taxpayers more than $2 Billion in mitigation money - and now will have to fork that money - as and who we the people decide. A ballot measure has been designed - and this one move - will bring the SFPUC to its senses - more folks like Juliet Ellis - who has to go - she cause unnecessary problems - every single day.
The Controller Office and more Ben Rosenfield knows that millions are wasted - by the SF Public Utilities Commission.
Again and again audits done - clearly show how a Maintenance Manager - working at the Phelps Raw Sewage Treatment Plant - bought the wrong spare parts - costing thousands - so that expensive equipment and monitoring system - were stalled and could not be operated.
Air samples could not be collected - the entire operation in some critical sections of the Raw Sewage Treat Plant situated on Phelps Street - stalled.
General Manager Harlan Kelly was fully aware of the ploys and machinations. So was William Carlin - of course the dumb and crooked Juliet Ellis - knew about on going nonsense - and still are around wasting millions - more.
Instead of firing the crooks that still work at the plant and these crooks are mostly White.
The idiots that be - pressured a good man Tony Flores to take - early retirement.
They did that to Tommy Moala who was used like a dirty rag - and disposed with little fanfare.
Recently is has come to my attention - that Dwayne Jones who has been black listed - trying to hoodwink a contractor who won a contract - was told that the contract had to be re-bidded.
Those behind the sordid action - Dwayne Jones and Linda Richardson - with the blessing of Amos Brown - from the then SF Housing Authority. Go Figure.
Today, Dwayne Jones is embedded at 525 Golden Gate - represents some crooked Primes - bidding as a sub-contractor and all this is baffling to those that adhere to ethics, morals, and standards.
Where is the Contract Monitoring Division on this issue.
What sub-contractor - who has a tarnished record - dares to act like he is invincible?
Dwayne Jones will be investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation soon.
Dwayne Jones will soon have to visit - the SF Controller' s Office.
Other agencies that we have contacted - are willing to divulge information - linked to Dwayne Jones - a nefarious person - allowed to entire the Phelps Raw Sewage Treatment Plant to carry out his shady stinking - moves.
Why is he interrogating some of the Managers at the Phelps Raw Sewage Treatment Plant?
Dwayne Jones - pretending to know something about Workforce - many innocent youth and young adults at Young Community Developers - were used by Dwayne Jones - for ulterior motives.
Since the year 2000 - I have monitored Dwayne Jones - he does not have a sound track record - having pocketed millions - producing NO career jobs.
Right now there are entities who want to take on the Stationery Engineers Local 39 - by the corrupt, crooked Local 261 that has cheated and bluffed its own members.
Joseph Scott come to mind - and I have photographs of City Trucks attending meetings to endorse former Mayor Edwin Mah Lee - a very corrupt Mayor - who recently passed away -
all under the plain view of Local 261.
Imagine when Local 39 confronted those that wanted to interfere with them - and were determined to take on Local 261 - some crooks within the SFPUC have now chosen another parallel training model - to by pass Local 39 and have their own training and more.
I was listening to the last SF Public Utilities Commission meeting - where some grant money - was being doled out - to a Cafe situated at Mandel Plaza by Third and Palou.
The perennial Girls 2000 that cannot produce nor train - youth and young adults - and provide them career jobs.
No good come from Nancy Pelosi -
she should step down and fade away.
The SF Conservation Corps - that I helped way back in the year 1999 at the Presidio of San Francisco - that owes its allegiance to Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi - and other entities that prey on our youth and young adults - more from the inner city.
I remember feed our inner city youth - from the SF Conservation Corps - who came to work with having their breakfast and had no money for lunch. I took care of my folks then - as I do now - treat human beings - like human beings - not like dirty rags.
Again and again outsiders - who have no clue about the contamination and pollution - the entire area where the Green House were situated - news abate and mitigation - the AZUL company - cannot do that job - well. They are slated to do the abatement and mitigation. Yeh!
The SFPUC should bore holes - collect the soil samples - and provide us the results.
Never mind if some concrete covers the contaminated soil and the dirt and land - contaminants leech into the air and the watershed - and no one can fool all the people - all the time.
Our youth and young adults should not be put in harm way.
I am working on some documents linked to a Freedom of Information case.
The initial documents provide me - the tip of the iceberg - reveal to me - when one connects the dots - millions of dollars - meted out to crooks of a kind.
The corrupt, the scourge of the the Earth - embedded at 525 Golden Gate Avenue. God helps us all. Aho.
