… Although it’s approximately 140 miles east of the Golden Gate Bridge, Moccasin is perhaps the safest, cleanest and quietest part of San Francisco. Most of the town’s homes and buildings are owned by the city and county of San Francisco. Every resident works, in some capacity, for the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission to operate the Hetch Hetchy Water and Power System. … Up to 200 million gallons per day pass through Moccasin on the way to citywide faucets and the plant generates about 295,000 megawatt hours per year.
