City’s Computers Gulp Frisco Water
San Francisco runs 100 gallons a minute to cool City Hall computers, enough for 500 families daily, while debates over saving water continue. City Supervisor Molinari proposes using an underground City Hall well and routing cooled computer water to the Fire Department reserve, potentially saving about 290000 gallons daily, but requires Board approval and city work to implement, likely not before the 1977 rainy season.
