The South San Francisco District, normally receives over 80% of its water from the SF RWS from 11 turnouts off the San Andreas and Crystal Spring pipelines, with the remaining water pumped from 8 local district wells. Cal Water had been participating in a Conjunctive Use Pilot Program during which the South San Francisco District had received 100% of its supply from the SF RWS. However, in 2007 Cal Water began operating its well again. The distribution system includes 15 pressure zones, 8 wells, 25 booster pumps, 14 storage reservoirs, 1,436 hydrants, and 160 miles of main.
