Hetch Hetchy Capital Improvement Project

The waters that over 2.4 million Bayarea residents get from Hetch Hetchy was stolen from the First People the Miwoks when the Raker Act was passed in 1913. The filthy rich folk from San Francisco used undue influence in Congress to steal the land and water in the middle of a National Park called Yosemite - just so that the folks from San Francisco could get all the water and more from the Hetch Hetchy project. The First People always consider the pure, pristine, healing waters from the source very Sacred. Considering this a fact - I do mind people using Hetch Hetchy water to drink. I consider it an affront when it is used by the uncaring folks to flush their toilets. It is time we do not use good Hetch Hetchy water to water our lawns. It is time we do not use clean Hetch Hetchy water to wash our cars. And of course not to flush our toilets. There is much talk about sustainable practices - but those with forked tongues have always spoken about one thing and meant another. Time to restore Hetch Hetchy to its old glory. Time to tear down the barriers and the concrete walls that do not belong in the Sacred Hetch Hetchy Valley.
