A OVER $11 BILLION PROJECT - THE SF SEWER SYSTEM IMPROVEMENT PROJECT IS A MESS - WITH SERIOUS ISSUES - INSTITUTIONAL EXPERIENCE AND KNOWLEDGE - THROWN TO THE WINDS - THE STENCH AT THE EVANS SHOPPING CENTER - IS UNBEARABLE.

Plans are afoot to build -

5 digesters to replace the ones you see above -

the new digesters - started with a price 

of $1.3 Billion and has reached $3 billion and growing -

all tax payers money - thousands of dollars - wasted -

as a result of very poor management.

The vultures have descended from all over - to cheat, steal, and rob us " San Francisco Tax Payers " - of our hard earned money. The Sewer Systems Improvement Project - is being operated like a -  " Mafia Operation ".

The more you delve into the nitty gritty the more the cesspool reveals who contaminated and filthy it is - a creation of nefarious employees - more upper management - who have raked in millions - and filled their pockets. 

The SF Public Utilities Commission - more some of crooked  Staff do not blink an eye - while they endorse the " evil designs " of Michael Carlin, Juliet Ellis, Greg Norby, Dwayne Jones - others placed in strategic places - to do the " devil's work".

In recent weeks the Phelps Raw Sewage Treatment Plant - situation in the Bayview has had serious operational - issues.

The "Headworks" project is still in a " conceptual stage " - yet for some strange reason - at this juncture - some entity - as decided to give the SF Public Utilities Commission an award. As I said the Headwork Project is still being conceived - and the project will take some time to complete :

The - stench is unbearable - pungent smell of Sulphur - burning the eyes and throat - and all this and more - while the SF Public Utilities Commission - is actively pushing for further unwarranted rate hikes - to the sewage fees and the clean drinking water rates.

Raw sewage is being flushed into the Islais Creek - following the Phelps Raw Sewage Plant operational flaws and shut downs -  the stench from the untreated effluents - is felt around a three mile radius.

Such actions do not faze the newly arrived staff from far off place like Ross in Marin County - one Greg Norby - who is confused, confounded, bewildered, and has mostly dazed - may be more by the smell of pungent - Sulphur that the Phelps Raw Sewage emits - and adversely impacts a three mile area.

Here is one of many fiscal reports - that may aid the reader to know - what really is happening and how exactly the tax payers' money is being spent :

Assistant General Manager for 
SF Waste Water Enterprises

The recently hired Assistant General Manager

of Waste Water Enterprise -

Greg Norby

has no experience linked to the operations 

of the Phelps Raw Sewage Treatment -

a dual system - that takes the sewage and rain flow -

into the system - and has had serious issues 

in recent weeks - the treatment operations stalled - 
 Greg Norby singing the blues.

The operational breaking down at the Phleps Raw Sewage Treatment - under the charge of the new so called Assistant General Manager linked to the Waste Water Enterprise - who is regarded a seasoned racist - goes by the name Greg Norby -  treating the Union Workers and others with utter, disdain.

To add fuel to fire the SF Public Utilities Commission Greg Norby keeps reneging terms of employment.

Arrangements  deliberated upon and signed - fixed schedules - agreed as part of the  Project Labor Agreements (PLAs)  so that the Union Members - can work and perform well.

The Project Labor Agreement reneged  - causing issues of trust - adversely impacting the Union workers - who feel let down - and are now contemplating - going on strike.

As we speak the Union is planning on going on strike - and if this does happen - all hell will break loose.

Scheduling may not affect Upper Management and crooks like Juliet Ellis. Michael Carlin, Cathy How - who daily  adversely impact the lives of innocent workers  - working for the SF Public Utilities Commission - Upper Management failing to adhere to morals, less ethics, and for sure standards that matter.

Management in the past have been fired  for stealing, sexual discrimination, failing to perform and so on. The SFPUC has an affinity to attract such dubious entities.

At the Phelps Raw Sewage Treatment Plant a manager missed his authority to order parts and illegally selling the parts pocketing the money -  thousands of dollars.

All tax payers money.

Recently is was revealed to me - two brand new cement trucks were bought illegally - costing thousands of dollars.

One is missing - some one drove the truck out of the secured zone and has not returned it - all paid by tax payers money.

Crooks embedded at the Raw Sewage Treatment plant  - ta payers money - misused by crooks and thieves who were hired by the SF Public Utilities Commission - without careful screening and criminal checks. 

The SF Public Utilities Commission has an affinity to attracts thieves, crooks, and nefarious individuals.

Many of them charged - one Juliet Ellis by the Fair Political Practices Commission.

Juliet Ellis was fined thousands of dollars - asked to return $200,000  that she had transferred to her from Non-Profit  - called Green For All. 


One of the Cement Trucks has disappeared and the other was hidden in one of the building - still boxed - minus the tires.

Some nefarious entities - waiting for the opportunity - to put the tires on this brand new Cement Truck - and drive it away.

Such episodes make a good plot for a " B " movie - but should not be happening at the SF Public Utilities Commission.

However such happenings have been - going on "cheating and hoodwink operations " galore - all under the watch of Assistant General Managers - who are crooks, totally unfit, not experienced - and as I said lack morals, ethics, and standards that matter.

Leading that charge Juliet Ellis - who should be fired.

She is the Assistant General Manager of External Affairs - and has given herself titles such as Chief Strategist - when  she is unfit and for sure - not qualified.

Laura Spanjian

We still remember Laura Spanjian -

who is doing a great job in Houston in Texas - 
when Laura left - we never ever expected
the position to be filled by Juliet Ellis -
who was on the SF Public Utilities Commissioner -
and stepped down to take this position -
totally uncalled for - one that stinks to high heaven.

 

Now we have to deal with

Juliet Ellis who is not qualified -

and daily is wheeling and dealing -

she will be audited soon - her venture concepts -

using contractors - with added money tagged -

to use as Community Benefits as a ploy - 

aiding and abetting entities like 

Young Community Developers (YCD).

Juliet Ellis is a far cry from Laura Spanjian - whose vacant position was filled by Juliet Ellis - under dubious circumstances.

Juliet Ellis - a diabolical person - that should not be working for the SF Public Utilities Commission or the City and County of San Francisco. 

Juliet Ellis is an anathema to San Francisco - and the value we stand for.

William Carlin who is the Deputy Manager is now daily impacting the workers at the Phelps Sewage Treatment Plant - aiding and abetting his friend Greg Norby - who is unfit and treats the Union employees with disdain - blatant racism.

To add fuel to fire the Oceanside Treatment plant was totally shut down for three days - its Main Computer shut down - and the treatment plant stalled.

It took the SFPUC three days to fix the problem - and the situation has still being looked into.

The Sewer System Improvement Project has other issues that I will bring before the SF Public Utilities Commission - held every second Tuesday, Room 400, at SF City Hall.

San Francisco is hurting - the rents are high rocketing - the SF Public Utilities has wasted millions - and will soon not have money to carry on and complete - the current projects.

Never mind the high cost of steel, building material, one particular building - the piling needs to go to bed rock - that will cost millions more. 

It is amazing how these folks do business - wasting our tax payers money. 

Having the audacity to charge us more for clean drinking water and sewer rates.

The over 90 years old - very old pipes  - leaching are supposed to be replaced with brand new sewer and clean water drinking pipes - this work is going on at a snail pace - today only 10% of the totally miles of pipes - 1000 miles of sewer pipes and 1100 clean water - leeching into the water shed.
