SWRCB Storm Water Program SWMP San Francisco (134 words) |
 | Ownership of the separate storm sewers within the City and County of San Francisco (City) is divided between the Port of San Francisco for areas along the City waterfront and the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) for all other separate storm sewers within the City's jurisdiction. |
| The Regional Board and SFPUC staff was able to work with the Bay Keeper on their concerns, and the Bay Keeper later dropped the request for a public hearing. |
| Both the Port of San Francisco and the SFPUC are now covered under the general permit for small MS4. |
| Should Municipalities Get in the Wi-Fi Business? (978 words) |
| Last month, the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission took up the cause by taking the lead on the project with the city's Department of Telecommunications and Information Services, paving the way for community broadband to be another utility, like water and sewer services. |
| San Francisco can provide a base level of high-speed service to its citizens; the cable and telephone companies can focus on higher-priced commercial applications, or use the city's broadband infrastructure to help lower their costs. |
| One of the reasons I'm pushing San Francisco to move as quickly as possible on this initiative is that the telephone-and-cable lobby has already succeeded in passing state laws that prohibit 14 states from creating their own municipal broadband networks. |
