SAN FRANCISCO — A whistleblower claim filed against San Francisco City Attorney Dennis Herrera by his former deputy has been denied after review by the Santa Clara County counsel’s office, according to a statement from Herrera’s office.

She claimed she found signs of corruption in the city’s payments to replace sewer lines, many of them privately owned.
