If I hook up to the SFWPA water system through the Project what benefits do I receive as a SFWPA water customer?

Palermo accounts would receive the following benefits for connecting to the SFWPA water system and becoming a SFWPA water customer: 

  1. SFWPA provides water service 24-hours per day/365 days per year to meet all water needs;
  2. Having SFWPA’s certified water professionals maintain the water distribution system, water service laterals, and state of the art metered connections for all customers;
  3. Having SFWPA’s certified water professionals replace old facilities including pipes, services, hydrants, valves, storage, backflow, and meters;
  4. Having SFWPA provide fire protection and emergency water service capacity to protect property and facilities and provide reliable service during all water year types;
  5. Having SFWPA provide water quality that meets all Safe Drinking Water Act standards, and utility billing services. All you have to do is manage your water use.
  6. Note that Palermo customers hooking up to the SFWPA water system would still be responsible for any future maintenance of the water service connection from the SFWPA meter box to the home or building.
