SFPUC – Community Benefits Division

Throughout our history, the SFPUC has strived to be a good neighbor and environmental steward in the communities where we provide high quality water, power and sewer services.  Our Agency has invested in 80+ initiatives to enhance the social, economic and environmental fabric of the communities we care so deeply about.

The SFPUC Community Benefits division manages our community investments. Our programs span Workforce Development, Education, Art, Environmental Justice/Land Use, Neighborhood Partnerships and Small Business Opportunities. Over the years, these programs have supported job and contracting opportunities for local residents and firms; SFPUC apprenticeship and internship programs; environmental literacy learning initiatives for youth; community gardens and more. 

We’re committed to being a good neighbor and addressing social and environmental issues through our Environmental Justice and Community Benefits Policies. These policies shape how we provide water, power and sewer services while ensuring the work we do every day positively impacts the communities we serve. Being a good neighbor is simply who we are and how we do business. It’s part of our DNA.

Position Description:

The SFPUC works hard every day to provide fundamental environmental benefits through our water, power and sewer services. We recognize there are challenges to providing these services as some parts of our community face a greater burden than others due to the location of our facilities in their neighborhoods.  We work with these communities to understand their needs and lessen the effects caused by our operations. At the SFPUC, we call this environmental justice.  We’re proud to be the first public utility in the nation to develop an Environmental Justice Policy which guides our efforts to support environmentally healthy and safe communities where we live, work, learn and play.

As part of our mission, we also maintain and preserve more than 590,000 acres of land to protect our natural resources and critical infrastructure.
