💧 H2O INTRO 💧 Meet Jennifer Lee of San Francisco Public Utilities Commission What if Bay Area residents had to reduce water use by 25%? Jennifer Lee, Utility Specialist at SFPUC, is tackling this critical challenge head-on. With new regulations diverting water for vulnerable fish populations and less available for reservoirs, Lee’s expertise is driving innovative strategies for water sustainability. She explains how San Francisco and its wholesale customers are investing in recycled water, groundwater, and potable reuse to diversify the region’s water portfolio. Beyond these efforts, Lee is leading the development of a regional grant program to encourage collaboration and fund local water supply projects. Her work underscores the need for creative solutions to ensure a resilient and sustainable water future for the Bay Area. Lee is an alum of the Water Innovation Leadership Development program of Duke University Nicholas School of the Environment and Duke Environment Plus
