Water is not directly diverted from Don Pedro Lake to the City and County of San Francisco. The City and County of San Francisco’s partnership in the construction of the current Don Pedro Dam benefits them through the relief from upstream flood control responsibilities and greater flexibility in its upstream water operations.
The Don Pedro Recreation Agency Board of Control meets monthly to discuss Agency business and set policy. The DPRA Board of Control consists of the following members:
| Ron Macedo | Turlock Irrigation District |
| Stu Gilman | Modesto Irrigation District |
| Margaret Hannaford | City & County of San Francisco |
