Longtime activist, former San Francisco supervisor and sworn enemy of polluting power plants says she’s made good on her commitment to the agency
Tuesday marked Sophie Maxwell ’s last meeting as a member of the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission.
As for her future, Maxwell said, “There’s a lot going on in the water industry, and the public needs to know what’s happening. I’ll probably be involved in that in some way. Companies are buying up water rights, turning it into a commodity, and that just should not be.” The federal government last month sentenced Kelly to four years in prison following his conviction on bribery and fraud charges. The state water board in 2021 issued a cleanup order against the SFPUC, forcing the third-largest municipal utility in California to spend $600 million to address chronic flooding in some of The City’s own neighborhoods.
Count even Joe Montana among the agency’s recent foes. After storms pounded Northern California in 2021 and 2022 and his house was among the dozens of Marina district homes that suffered unprecedented damage, the famed former 49ers quarterback joined a lawsuit filed last year against the SFPUC and The City, alleging their negligence was responsible.
