Project Manager: Alisha Reinhardt Current Active Phase: Post-Construction Prior Approved Budget: $ 14,820,931 Proposed Budget: $ 14,820,931 Prior Approved Start: 02/15/2021 Proposed Start: 01/02/2020 Prior Approved Finish: 02/28/2027 Proposed Finish: 02/28/2027 Description
The Sunol Valley Chloramination Facility (SVCF) houses various treatment chemicals that are injected to the Alameda Siphons where they are blended with the Hetch Hetchy supply as part of the water treatment process. The facility is located in Alameda County as part of the East Bay system. The scope of work for this project includes the following three facilities: the Fluoride Facility; the Chloramination Facility, which handles sodium hypochlorite, aqua ammonia, and sodium hydroxide; and the Dechlorination Facility. At the fluoride facility, the work includes replacing chemical pumps, piping, valves, and related equipment; upgrading chemical lines; installing new monitoring devices; relocating valve manifolds; and modernizing control panels and system integration. At the SVCF Facility, fifteen chemical pumps will be replaced along with their piping and valves, new monitoring devices and control panels will be installed, the main control system will be upgraded, and additional safety equipment, such as a water heater, eyewash, and shower, will be added. At the Dechlorination Facility, carrier water pumps and chemical pumps will be replaced, piping will be reconfigured, electrical conduits will be secured, and the control system will be updated and tested to ensure proper integration. Overall, the scope focuses on modernizing equipment, improving monitoring and control, enhancing safety, and ensuring reliable operation across all three facilities.
Justification
The project was identified through condition assessments, operations staff observations, review of level of service, and subsequent feasibility studies..
The project will result in more reliable performance from East Bay Fields Facilities. If the project is not completed there will be additional maintence and repairs that have been very costly to date due to the various chemical metering pumps that have had issues over the years. This will cause unreliable chemical metering into the system.
Water LOS Goal(s) Supported: Water Quality.
Operating Impact
This project ensures better reliability at the Fluoridation (HFA) Facility, Sunol Valley Chloramination Facility (SVCF), and Dechlorination Facility. During the construction, the project will require some shutdowns of the various facilities to be coordinated with Operations. In addition, the chemical pumps will be replaced in stages, which will reduce the amount of available backup pumps.

Project Manager: Anthony Yu Current Active Phase: Pre-Construction Prior Approved Budget: $ 23,106,917 Proposed Budget: $ 19,042,993 Prior Approved Start: 07/01/2024 Proposed Start: 11/08/2018 Prior Approved Finish: 06/30/2034 Proposed Finish: 06/30/2036 Description
The Harry Tracy Water Treatment Plant (HTWTP) Repair and Replacement (R&R) project was established to provide the Water Supply and Treatment Division with funding for maintenance and repair of existing equipment, and for replacement or upgrades of worn, aging, or failed equipment at HTWTP. HTWTP is located in San Mateo County and provides treated water from the San Andreas Reservoir and Peninsula Watershed into the Regional Water System.
Funding is allocated for maintenance, design, engineering support, and capital expenditures above $5,000 that rely on in-house trades, purchase orders, and Job Order Contracts or formal bid contracts to accomplish maintenance, repair, and replacement work.
Funding for the construction of the HTWTP Equipment Protection Upgrades project has been shifted from the Buildings and Grounds Program to HTWTP R&R. The project is currently in the design phase, and construction is anticipated to begin in FY27.
Justification
Many of the projects were identified through corrective and preventive maintenance work orders, condition and needs assessments, consultant and internal inspections and analysis, and updated codes and regulations.
Water LOS Goal(s) Supported: Water Quality and Regional Delivery Reliability Operating Impact
This project will provide annual funding to maintain and repair existing equipment, replace equipment at the end of their useful life with similar equipment, and implement minor improvements to existing treatment processes to improve the efficiency and reliability of the water treatment process at the HTWTP. All work is coordinated with WSTD Operations and performed during scheduled facility outages or when the facility has sufficient operational redundancy in place.
Budget Change Yes Schedule Change Yes Scope Change Yes
Reason for Change
The variance in the scope for this repair and replacement project changed due to continuous refinement. The variance in the budget is due to work identified as R&R work being separated, combined, and placed into a new Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) currently titled HTWTP Phase 3. Additional funding for the construction phase of the HTWTP Equipment Protection Upgrades project was added, but the overall budget has decreased. The variance in the schedule is due to this R&R project being continuous.

This project is in response to Directive No.6, of Citation No. 02_04_15C_005 issued to the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) by the State Division of Drinking Water in connection with the events of March 3rd and 4th of 2015, when untreated water from the San Antonio Reservoir entered the Regional Water System (RWS). Directive No.6 requires that SFPUC shall evaluate the benefits of additional on-line data sampling locations throughout the RWS. Two locations, Stanford Tunnel East and Ravenswood Valve Lot, were selected with considerations of accessibility, connectivity, reliability, water conservation, and other operational aspects. Construction of the sampling station for Ravenswood Valve Lot was completed in December 2021. The second location, Stanford Tunnel East, is also needed for water quality's operational performance. There are two water transmission pipelines, Bay Division Pipeline 3 and Bay Division Pipeline 4 (BDPL3&4) at this location that require water quality monitoring. However, the Barron Creek Valve Lot location is preferred to the Stanford Tunnel location due to cost of construction, utilities connection, and required permits.
Justification
This project is needed to comply with SFPUCs responses to the Division of Drinking Water in connection with the March 2015 raw water incident.
SFPUC will be penalized with a substantial fee if not done. The purpose of the project is to provide online water quality monitoring for chlorine residual, conducvity, pH with temperature, and turbidity at Barron Creek Valve Lot for BDPL3&4 using NSF-6 1 cerfied, reagent-l ess, direct-pipe-mounted analyzers. Also, to provide needed electrical and instrumentation appurtenances in additon to secure pipe mounting, isolation, and safe access.
Water LOS Goal(s) Supported: Regional Delivery Reliability and Water Quality Operating Impact
This project will improve the water quality monitoring capability for the Regional Water System as well as address the 2015 citation from Division of Drinking Water. In the event of dirty water inside the pipe, city staff would be able to take water samples in problematic pipe segment and mitigate dirty water distribution.
Budget Change Yes Schedule Change Yes Scope Change Yes
Reason for Change
The variance in scope, budget, and schedule is due to restarting the project for Stanford Tunnel location in January 2025. No additional funds needed because the project location changed to Barron Creek Valve Lot.

The project is located in San Joaquin, California. The Tesla Treatment Facility was constructed to comply with the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s Long Term 2 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule and treats up to 315-MGD using ultra-violet (UV) disinfection and chemical feed systems. This project will be implemented in two phases: Phase 1 will upgrade the three existing Flywheel uninterruptible power supply (UPS) units within the electrical room with newer units that have newer battery technology that will reduce the footprint and replace 9 existing Ferrups UPS units with in-kind UPS units. Phase 2 will replace 5 sodium hypochlorite and 4 hydrofluosilicic acid progressive cavity chemical metering pumps with new diaphragm pumps and speed controllers; replacing buried and encased sodium hypochlorite feed piping due to groundwater intrusion; evaluate the need for a 3rd redundant heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) air handling unit for the Electrical room; upgrade diesel fuel systems and aboveground piping; install an awning over equipment; upgrade the generator day tank and fuel polisher system; and upgrade the domestic water system tank.
Justification
The Tesla UV Treatment Facility is equipped with a Flywheel UPS system that ensures critical loads remain functional in the event of a utility power interruption and before the facility's standby generator are operational. The flywheel UPS system is approaching the end of its useful life, is no longer supported by the manufacturer, and spare parts for repairs are no longer obtainable. The chemical metering pumps that were originally installed have been expensive to maintain due to rising costs for repair parts and thus are not preferred due to these higher maintenance requirements. Various systems at the Tesla UV Treatment Facility are aging and in need of replacement or repair to improve reliability.
Water LOS Goal(s) Supported: Regional Delivery Reliability Operating Impact
This project provides water treatment reliability for the Regional Water System. The facility operation will need to be reduced or interupted during construction to allow installation of the UPS units and upgrades to existing systems.
Budget Change Yes Schedule Change Yes Scope Change Yes
Reason for Change
This project has been separated into two subprojects. The variance in the project scope, budget, and schedule since the last approved Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) can be attributed to additional scope requested by Water Supply and Treatment Division (WSTD), updated cost estimates, contingencies and escalation, and increases in soft costs.

The San Antonio Backup Pipeline (SABPL) Valve Y-28 is in Sunol near Pond F3 East. The 54-inch diameter ball valve is used to discharge water into a temporary holding pond at Pond F3 East when the Coast Range Tunnel is flushed as Hetch Hetchy returns to service, when flow is diverted from Hetch Hetchy during an emergency, or when the Treated Water Reservoir at the Sunol Valley Water Treatment Plant is drained. The valve was designed to discharge at higher flow rates and is experiencing vibration and cavitation at lower flow rates.
This project will provide planning and design phase funding to remedy these issues. Proposed solutions include installing parallel throttling valves, installing additional throttling valves, replacing the existing ball valve, or relocating and using a different type of throttling valve.
Justification
SABPL Valve Y-28 is a 54-inch diameter ball valve that was designed for high flow rates but has been experiencing excessive vibration and cavitation when flow rates are less than 300 million gallons per day (MGD). If left unaddressed, the service life of the pipeline and ball valve will be reduced.
Water LOS Goal(s) Supported: Regional Delivery Reliability Operating Impact
This project will provide water transmission reliability for the Regional Water System to be able to discharge water into the holding pond under various scenarios. The valve will continue to deteriorate and reduce efficiency of the valve if a new design is not implemented to operate the lower flows.
Budget Change No Schedule Change Yes Scope Change No
Reason for Change
The proposed project schedule is delayed by 30 months due to lack of resources and the lower priority of this project.

In recent years, the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission’s (SFPUC) Sunol Valley Water Treatment Plant (SVWTP) has experienced more frequent taste and odor (T&O) events from seasonal algal blooms than had occurred historically. The project is located in Sunol, California and the project's objective is to install ozone treatment facilities as a long-term solution to control T&O events encountered in the raw water supply from both the San Antonio and Calaveras Reservoir sources. The scope of this project is to install a raw water ozonation system at SVWTP including the following major components: 10-inch through 66-inch diameter piping, elbows, and valves; Concrete Valve Vaults; Ozone Generator Building; Electrical Building; Loop Cooling Water Systems; Cryogenic Oxygen Tank Systems; Liquid Oxygen Vaporizer Systems; Ozone Generators; Ozone Injector Systems; Ozone Contact Basin; Ozone Destruct Systems; Pre-chloramination Facilities for Bromate Control; Instrumentation and Controls; Shop Space; Solar Panels; Standby Power Systems; High Voltage and Low Voltage Electrical Equipment and Distribution Systems; Minor Calaveras Substation Upgrades to support the Ozone Facility power needs; Underground Utilities; and Site Improvements. The project also includes the design of a Utility Water/Fire Protection (UW/FPS) Pump Station.
Justification
This project resulted from taste and odor outbreaks associated with algal blooms in San Antonio and Calaveras Reservoirs. The ozonation facility will reduce the the concentration of taste-and-odor causing compounds in the plant’s raw water. A delay in implementing the project would impact the reliability of the treatment plant operation to meet customer expections on water quality.
Water LOS Goal(s) Supported: Water Quality
Operating Impact
This project will improve the water quality, especially during warm months and during Hetch-Hetchy Water and Power shutdowns. Plant operation would need to be reduced and interupted at times during construction to allow for connections to existing sewer, raw water, treated water, and overflow pipeline, electrical and communication systems and chemical systems. The plant will likely need to operate at reduced capacity, run on backup generator power depending on the type of connection require.
Budget Change Yes Schedule Change Yes Scope Change No
Reason for Change
The variance in the budget is due to the higher construction bid value than anticipated; this revised budget was approved by the Commission in 2025 as part of the mid-year Capital Plan update. The variance in the schedule is due to allowing for longer construction duration and start-up testing period.

The Sunol Valley Water Treatment Plant (SVWTP) Long-Term Improvements project is located in Sunol, California, and treats raw water from San Antonio and Calaveras reservoirs prior to delivery to the water tranmission system. The primary objective of the project is to improve regional delivery reliability by addressing various SVWTP conditions and deficiencies. The construction scope of work will include the following: Wash water tank valve electric actuator and washwater tank (WWT), seismic upgrades (or replacement); Flowmeters for chorine contact tank piping; SVWTP lab remodel; Basement/tunnel lighting and controls; Replace variable frequency drives (VFD) on Basins 1 through 4; Road widening at chemical tank area; Washwater backwash flowmeter; New roof for SVWTP Admin Building and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) upgrades; SVWTP Server Room fire suppression system; Plant intercom; Plate settler washdown piping; Emergency eyewash station installation at chlorine contact tank; Repair bird netting deficiencies at Flocculation/Sedimentation Basins and filters, and install new bird netting for fluoride storage and chemical delivery dock; Replace main switchboards 1 and 2; remove ATS-1, ATS-2, and ATS-3 and incorporate functionality into new switchgear; add redundant 2MW standby generator with active particulate air filters; Incorporate ozone facility; Replace all GE power circuit breakers (not all are ARC flash rated); and washwater pumps soft starter system; and develop a master plan for the plant. Additional scope requested includes flocculation basin baffle wall replacement; washwater recovery pond pipe and valve replacement; new ammonia fill and vent recovery system; sedimentation basin scraper conversion to electric system; sedimentation basin 5 flood damage repairs; caustic tank evaluation and upgrades; and embassy fence and gates around plant boundary.
Justification
The proposed improvements were identified through condition assessments, operations staff observations, review of level of service, subsequent feasibility studies, and alternative analyses. Not completing this project would result in a higher risk of unplanned outages of the SVWTP and impede on the ability to treat raw water during planned and unplanned outages on the Hetch Hetchy system.
Water LOS Goal(s) Supported: Regional Delivery Reliability Operating Impact
This project ensures better reliability of the SVWTP. Plant operation would need to be reduced and interupted at times during construction to allow for replacement to existing systems. The plant will likely need to operate at reduced capacity depending on the type of replacement required.
Budget Change Yes Schedule Change Yes Scope Change Yes
Reason for Change
The increase in the project scope and budget since the last approved Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) can be attributed to the addition of master planning scope, additional scope requested by WSTD, increases in construction cost, escalation and contingencies for the added scope, and additional soft costs to support the added scope. The start of this project has been delayed due to prioritization of the CIP to meet affordability targets.

At the Sunol Valley Water Treatment Plant (SVWTP), the new flocculation/sedimentation basin built in 2013 as well as the other 4 existing basins that are each rated at a capacity of 40 million gallons per day (mgd) were not able to achieve their capacity under all operating and water quality scenarios.
A basin optimization plan was prepared to address these performance issues; it recommended adding a flocculant aid polymer system. The project will build a polymer feed facility that will serve all five sedimentation basins to optimize plant water production. The project is being deferred until after the Ozone project is installed and in operation, 2/28/2029. The water characteristic with the addition of Ozone will change and full-scale plant testing under the new plant configuration will be needed to make that determination. Upstream and downstream effects will be evaluated during the full-scale testing. The scope of this project will be revised after full-scale testing, and the project scope will be reevaluated at that time.
Justification
A flocculant aid polymer system is required to achieve a settled water turbidity below 2 NTU in each sedimentation basin when operating at the maximum basin flow rate of 40 mgd.
Water LOS Goal(s) Supported: Water Quality and Regional Delivery Reliability Operating Impact
This project ensures reliability and overall treatment efficiency of the SVWTP.
Budget Change Yes Schedule Change Yes Scope Change No
Reason for Change
The variance is schedule is due to the project being deferred and defunded until the Ozone facility is constructed and operational in 2029. The variance in the budget is due to minor budget adjustments as the project is completed and being closed out.

This project will increase the performance and reliability of the HTWTP by replacing the plastic underdrains of 6 filters with stainless steel underdrains.
The scope of work includes the following:
- Remove and dispose existing filter media and provide new filter media - Procure and install new stainless steel filter underdrains - Modify air distribution piping beneath underdrains
- Clean and recoat main air distribution piping
- Demolition work
- Concrete work
Justification
Twenty-one projects have been identified to improve the performance, efficiency and reliability of the Harry Tracy Water Treatment Plant (HTWTP).
However, one of the projects, the filter underdrains, has become a priority because two of the underdrains have recently failed and a third is showing signs of imminent failure. Although 21 projects have been identified, funding is only available for the filter underdrain project, which has been deemed the highest priority. The remaining projects will be deferred to a future round of CIP planning.
Operating Impact
This project ensures reliability and overall treatment efficiency of the HTWTP.

Project Manager: Alisha Reinhardt Current Active Phase: Pre-Construction Prior Approved Budget: $ 2,071,242 Proposed Budget: $ 2,071,242 Prior Approved Start: 09/01/2021 Proposed Start: 09/01/2021 Prior Approved Finish: 02/29/2032 Proposed Finish: 06/30/2032 Description
To address taste and odor and other issues associated with algal blooms in Calaveras Reservoir, the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) installed a bubble plulimnetic Oxygenation Systemme (Mobley) type hypolimnetic oxygenation system (HOS) in the reservoir in September 2005. Since then, the HOS has been operated to reduce anoxic conditions in reservoir bottom waters, and thereby prevent release of algal nutrients (internal loading) from the reservoir sediments. Based upon recommendations from the recently updated Algae Monitoring and Mitigation Plan, as well as changes in the reservoir bathymetry following completion of the Calaveras Dam Replacement Project (CDRP), the HOS requires upgrades to have proper oxygenation within the reservoir. The project will repair or replace the current reservoir's hypolimnetic dissolved oxygen (DO) system after an assessment to ensure the reservoir is receiving adequate oxygenation. Due to Calaveras Reservoir filling completely during the 2022/2023 winter season, the algae rates and dissolved oxygen rates have not been an issue. Additional monitoring/condition assessment of the reservoir is taking place to understand how the higher water levels will change the reservoir nutrients and conditions prior to the design of the new system.
Justification
The project will result in reliable performance of reservoir operations and water quality.
Water LOS Goal(s) Supported: Water Quality Environmental Stewardship Operating Impact
Quality of the water in Calaveras Reservoir is affected by the undersized oxygen system in the reservoir.

Inspection and Repair R&R
Facility Category: Water Transmission Program
Project Manager: Eric Choi Current Active Phase: Pre-Construction Prior Approved Budget: $ 52,806,903 Proposed Budget: $ 88,242,236 Prior Approved Start: 07/01/2024 Proposed Start: 06/01/2024 Prior Approved Finish: 06/30/2034 Proposed Finish: 06/30/2036 Description
This project funds the inspection and minor repair and replacement (R&R) of large diameter pipelines and tunnels. Periodic internal pipeline inspections are essential to minimizing pipeline failures. The Water Supply and Treatment Division (WSTD) has developed and follows a 20-Year Pipeline Inspection Program. This program provides a basis for prioritizing pipeline replacements.
The scope and activities under the Pipeline and Tunnel Inspection R&R project include:
repairing pipeline leaks, estimated at 1 leak per year; shutting down, de-watering, and disinfecting pipelines; maintenance of appurtenances, such as blow-off valves and air valves; minor repair of cement mortar lining or dielectric lining in short stretches; planning studies for pipeline rehabilitation projects;
using remotely operated vehicles and acoustic leak detection technologies; piloting studies of new pipeline inspection technologies; capital equipment purchases in support of System Operations, Distribution Operations, and Maintenance groups; renew license to perform hydraulic modeling for Distribution and System Operations’ support; inspecting the Stanford, Pulgas, and Hillsborough Tunnels; and electromagnetic inspections of prestressed concrete cylinder pipe (PCCP) to detect broken prestressed wires.
Justification
Periodic internal pipeline inspections are essential to minimizing pipeline failures. If pipeline inspections are deferred or not performed, the risk of unplanned outages and disruptions to water delivery significantly increases. In the worst-case scenario, undetected deterioration could lead to a pipeline rupture, resulting in substantial property damage and potential loss of life.
Water LOS Goal(s) Supported: Regional Delivery Reliability Operating Impact
Different sections of pipelines going out of service for inspections must be carefully coordinated to maintain water delivery. Prior to taking any pipe sections out of service, a hydraulic model must be performed to ensure that customer demand can continue to be met. The affected pipe sections must then be locked out and tagged out by the Distribution and Maintenance Groups. If the planned shutdown impacts the operations of any pump stations, the System Operations Group must ensure that the treatment plant is available to augment the water supply as needed.

There are approximately 20 miles of inactive pipelines of various sizes throughout the Regional Water System (RWS). The RWS consists of more than 265 miles of large diamter pipelines and tunnels spanning between Counties of Alameda, Santa Clara, San Mateo, and City and County of San Francisco. The RWS is responsbile for delivering water from the Hetch Hetchy system to approximately 2.7 million people throughout Bay Area and San Francisco. These inactive pipelines are located below public streets and San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) Rights-of-Way, where they had been abandoned in-place (often improperly, without filling of the pipe cavity). This project would either remove or slurry-fill those pipeline segments. The budget for this project is for planning and design purposes only.
Justification
This project funds the condition assessment and design for the removal of inactive pipelines. A master plan for removing of abandoned pipe would need to be developed and prioritized. Removal alternatives would subsequently follow. If the project is delayed, the inactive pipelines will continue to deteriorate underground. Over time, this deterioration could lead to pipeline failures and potentially cause sinkholes at the ground surface.

This project will implement the Corrosion Protection and Control Program as recommended in the Corrosion Control Master Plan, which was completed in August 2010. Over 40 sites throughout San Francisco, Peninsula, Alameda, and various counties were identified from the Master Plan and remediation will be implemented in three phases. The scope of work for each of the sites under each phase includes the following: furnish and install cathodic protection (CP) systems; install rectifiers and anodes at a depth of approximately 300 feet; install testing station for pipelines; install specialized galvanic and impressed current CP systems; install remote monitoring units; and install isolation protection systems.
Justification
Rather than replacing segments of pipelines, investments in corrosion protection are a cost-effective way to significantly extend the usable life of pipelines and appurtenances. If project is delayed or not completed, corrosion inside the potable water transmission pipelines woud not be easily detected without implementing a costly pipeline shutdown and physical inspection inside the pipeline.
Water LOS Goal(s) Supported: Regional Delivery Reliability Operating Impact
The project will mitigate the corrosion risks and increase the usable life of pipelines and appurtenances. It would also lessen maintenance and operational cost due to costly shutdowns and inspections.

The Water System Improvement Program (WSIP) Cross Connection Controls Project (CUW36501), completed in 2009, included assessments and mitigation measures for numerous sites across the water transmission system spanning the Hetch Hetchy, Peninsula, East Bay, and South Bay regions.
Mitigation measures include installing air gaps at blow-offs and air valves; installing backflow prevention devices; reconstructing or raising existing vaults; installing new vault covers; replacing existing air valves; and modifying, relocating, or removing existing blow-off facilities. Despite these efforts, both Water Supply and Treatment Division (WSTD) and Water Quality Division (WQD) have repeatedly found non-compliant appurtenances and vaults during various site visits.
The objective of this in-house project, collaboration between WSTD and WQD, is to ensure that all operating air vacuum valves (AVV), air release valves (ARV), blow off valves (BO), and the vaults that house these appurtenances are meeting California Waterworks and American Water Works Association (AWWA) standards. These standards are to provide the minimum requirements for AVVs, ARVs, and BOs for water supply service, including material, design, inspection, and testing. It is critical that these appurtenances are in regulatory compliance and prevent cross connection in the drinking water system.
Justification
More than 1,400 appurtenances were installed throughout the Regional Water System (RWS), of which over 1,100 require mitigation. Mitigating all related cross connection hazards will allow the SFPUC to take proactive actions in minimizing risks of contamination for public health protection. If left un-addressed, these hazards could lead to backflow contamination, water quality degradation, regulatory violations, service disruptions, and adverse impacts on public health and safety.
Water LOS Goal(s) Supported: Drinking Water Quality, Regional Delivery Reliability, and Sustainability.
Operating Impact
As the project upgrades, replaces, and relocates air valve and blowoff appurtenances to meet current regulatory standards, cross-connection risks are reduced, improving water quality. Replacing aging assets also lowers repair and maintenace needs, while converting bottom blow-offs to top blow-offs with manhole access enhances efficiency and flexibility during dewatering or transmission main access. Updated Geographic Information System (GIS) and asset management data, including current conditions, photos, and geo-coordinates, support more efficient maintenance, faster emergency response, and data-driven operational decisions.
Budget Change Yes Schedule Change Yes Scope Change Yes
Reason for Change
The variance in budget and schedule is due to the increase in scope such as:
(1) 43 underground AVV sites have been identified that require Infrastructure Division’s support for right-of-way acquisition and mitigation in private or public properties, (2) project scope expanded to include replacement of aging appurtenance components and upgrading bottom blow-offs to top blow-offs during pipeline shutdowns; and (3) ongoing monitoring to ensure regulatory compliance.

This project will repair/replace regional pipeline segments that will be inspected over the next five years, including any emergency repairs that may be needed. In addition, this project will install new valves to provide for safe pipeline entry for the construction contractor and for future operational needs. The initial construction contract will be four years and combined with Project 10036840, Bay Division Pipelines Nos. 1-4 (BDPL1-4) Lining Repair. Subsequent projects and construction contracts may be initiated to parallel Water Supply and Treatment Division's (WSTD) inspection program. The scope of work for the initial construction contract is as follows: pipeline replacement by open trench; internal and external pipeline repair work; protecting sensitive (wetland and creek) areas; protecting utilities and infrastructure; traffic control; site/vegetation restoration; paving restoration; and installing valves (inline and crossover) to provide permanent safe entry measures to pipelines.
Justification
WSTD’s maintenance and inspection program inspects the regional pipeline system on an ongoing basis. However, when repairs are identified to be needed following inspections and when emergency repairs are needed, a contractor is not readily available to perform the repairs. This project will increase system reliability by reducing the duration and number of outages because a pre-qualified, as-needed contractor will be available to complete repairs immediately following inspections or in emergencies. Not completing this project will result in a higher risk of asset failure and higher safety risk to workers entering pipelines.
Water LOS Goal(s) Supported: Regional Delivery Reliability Operating Impact
This project serves to minimize the duration of outages due to unscheduled pipeline shutdowns. The temporary pipeline shutdowns associated with the work would be coordinated with WSTD Operations to sustain water delivery within the Regional Water System.
Budget Change No Schedule Change Yes Scope Change No
Reason for Change
The variance in schedule is due to the addition of service connections improvement work along the project alignment. Improvements include the installation of additional gate valves and pipeline identified as necessary to achieve double-isolation safe entry for construction and future operational needs.

Facility Category: Water Transmission Program
Project Manager: Eric Choi Current Active Phase: Not Started Prior Approved Budget: $ 11,250,000 Proposed Budget: $ 11,250,022 Prior Approved Start: 07/01/2029 Proposed Start: 07/01/2037 Prior Approved Finish: 06/30/2034 Proposed Finish: 06/30/2043 Description
The Alameda Creek Diversion Tunnel (ACDT) is used to divert water from the Alameda Creek Diversion Dam into Calaveras Reservoir. It is an approximately 1.9-mile-long, 5.5-foot by 6.5-foot concrete lined tunnel. The ACDT is located within the Calaveras watershed, in the unincorporated area of Alameda County.
Alameda Creek Diversion Tunnel was inspected in January of 2018 and was found to have large open cracks and areas of large voids in the tunnel liner.
Voids are defined as areas behind the tunnel lining that is absent of in-situ rock or concrete/support material. In areas where the lining has degraded and the rock is exposed, the voids may have been formed by the unsupported ground failing or by the tunnel's hydraulic process.
Justification
A tunnel failure would affect the diversion of water from Alameda Creek into Calaveras Reservoir. If the tunnel were to fail, it could disrupt water diversion and result in a lost opportunity to replenish the reservoir during the wet-weather months.
Water LOS Goal(s) Supported: Regional Deliverability Reliability Operating Impact
A tunnel failure will impact diversion of water from Alameda Creek into Calaveras Reservoir. All work will be coordinated with WSTD Operations and performed during scheduled ACDT outages

Project Manager: Bryan Dessaure Current Active Phase: Pre-Construction Prior Approved Budget: $ 5,000,000 Proposed Budget: $ 5,000,000 Prior Approved Start: 07/01/2024 Proposed Start: 07/01/2024 Prior Approved Finish: 06/30/2032 Proposed Finish: 06/30/2032 Description
The project is located in Sunol, California. In April 2023 the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) terminated the construction contract for the Water System Improvement Program (WSIP) Alameda Creek Recapture project due to concerns regarding slope erosion and obligations of the quarry leaseholder, operating and maintenance complexity, and excessive change orders to redesign the facility around existing slope conditions. The project is being re-evaluated based on changes to the slope by the quarry operator for a more stable slope bank and more consideration for long term operation and maintenance. The planned facilities may include components like the previous design, including: four identical vertical turbine pumps mounted on floating barges located in existing Pond F2; four flexible discharge pipelines extending from each pump to a new pipe manifold located on shore; a pipeline connection between the new pipeline manifold and the existing Sunol Pipeline to discharge the recaptured water to the SFPUC system; throttling valves and a flow meter; an electrical control building; and general site improvements and access. Components may change based on the re-evaluation of the project during planning phase. Re-evaluation will include additional operation and maintenance components and changes based on final slope design by the quarry operator. The project will use the design/build/operate project delivery method and explore the possibility of adding long-term operation and maintenance scope as part of the contract. The project also assumes 2 years of operation and maintenance, then turn over of the facilities to the City.
Justification
This project has water supply as its primary goal and is necessary to meet the Level of Service (LOS) goals intended for WSIP. The project will recapture water that naturally infiltrates from Alameda Creek into an existing quarry pond. A new pump station and pipeline will be constructed to return flows captured in the pond to the SFPUC system .
Water LOS Goal(s) Supported: Water Supply. A delay in implementing the project would efforts to recapture and reuse released water from Calaveras Reservoir and bypassed around Alameda Creek Diversion Dam.
Operating Impact
The project provides reliability to water transmission. The project would require a shutdown of Sunol Pipeline to connect the new facility to the system. The facility will be new to the system and require maintenance from Operation staff.

Facility Category: Water Transmission Program
Project Manager: Alisha Reinhardt Current Active Phase: Post-Construction Prior Approved Budget: $ 15,616,662 Proposed Budget: $ 16,491,662 Prior Approved Start: 05/12/2016 Proposed Start: 05/12/2016 Prior Approved Finish: 03/18/2028 Proposed Finish: 03/18/2028 Description
The San Antonio Pump Station (SAPS) is one of the key facilities in the Sunol Valley and was constructed in 1965 and modified in 1990 and 2009. SAPS pumps water from San Antonio Reservoir to the Sunol Valley Water Treatment Plant when the elevation within the reservoir is lower than what can be fed by gravity. The existing motor control centers (MCC)—MCC-A, MCC-B, and MCC-C—have been in service since the 1960s and they are approaching the end of their useful life. To maintain reliable operation at SAPS, the scope of work for the project will include the following: replace the existing diesel generator with new propane generator; install new clean agent fire suppression system; replace existing lighting system and install new exit lighting; upgrade existing heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system; include architectural design to accommodate clean agent fire suppression; provide seismic retrofit of East Wing walls and foundation; install temporary motor control centers (MCC); demolish and replace existing MCC; demolish existing Main Control Panel (MCP) and Pump Status Control Panel (PSCP); replace existing underground power and control conductors; install new City-furnished Remote Terminal Unit (RTU) and replace Programmable Logic Computer (PLC) components; replace existing communication system for Control and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) rooms.
Justification
San Antonio Pump Station is integral to moving water within the Sunol Valley and the existing MCC are at the end of their useful life to be able to control the pump station. In additon, the facility is not up to the seismic code and could have issues under a seismic event. The project will provide reliability to the pump station to transfer water from San Antonio reservoir.
Water LOS Goal(s) Supported: Regional Delivery Reliability. Regional Seismic Reliability.
Operating Impact
During construction, the project will need to implement a temporary MCC system and there will be some shutdowns that will affect operations of the facility. The timing of the shutdowns will be coordinated with the Mountain Tunnel shutdowns to reduce the overall impact to the region.
Budget Change Yes Schedule Change No Scope Change No
Reason for Change
The variance in the budget is due to higher construction costs than previously estimated.

The San Antonio Pump Station is located in Sunol, California, and is used to pump water to the Sunol Valley Water Treatment Plant and to San Antonio Reservoir. This project will convert the two remaining San Antonio Pump Station (SAPS) diesel pumps to electric pumps to provide additional pump redundancy and to remove the need to operate and maintain diesel driven pumps. The SAPS substation will also be replaced and upsized to support the additional electric pumps and address aging electrical infrastructure. This project will install new or refurbished motor and/or pumps for P-8, P-9, and P-10 and replace the accumulator system.
Justification
Converting the diesel pumps to electrically driven pumps will provide additional operational flexibility and reduce maintenance costs associated with maintaining the seldomly used diesel motor driven pumps. A delay in implementing the project could lead to failure of existing system during planned or unplanned HH outages.
Water LOS Goal(s) Supported: Regional Delivery Reliability Operating Impact
The project will provide reliability to water delivery and reduces miscellaneous repairs and unscheduled outages. The pump station would need to operate at a lower capacity during construction until the new equipment is installed and tested. The project would not add capacity to the pump station. The new pumps may reduce the level or frequency of repairs required to keep the pump station functioning.
Budget Change Yes Schedule Change Yes Scope Change No
Reason for Change
The variance in the project budget and schedule since the last approved Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) can be attributed to escalation based on the updated schedule, updated cost estimates, and updated estimating contingency. The variance in the schedule is also due to the start of this project being delayed to start in Fiscal Year (FY) 28- 29 due to prioritization of the CIP to meet affordability targets.

The Bay Division Pipelines Nos. 1 through 4 (BDPL1-4) are water transmission pipelines responsible for transferring water from Hetch Hetchy across and around cities in the East and South Bays that then converge at Pulgas Valve Lot located in San Mateo County. This project will repair the lining in segments of BDPL1-4. The initial construction contract for this project will be four years and combined with Project 10035029, As-Needed Pipeline Repair. Subsequent projects and construction contracts may be initiated to parallel Water Supply and Treatment Division's (WSTD) inspection program. The scope of work entails the following: cement mortar lining (CML) repair; dielectric lining repair, including removal, handling, and disposal of existing coal tar lining; and installing valves (inline and crossover) to provide permanent safe entry measures to pipelines.
Justification
WSTD’s ongoing pipeline inspection program has identified segments of the BDPL1-4 that require lining repairs. In addition, this project will retain an as-needed contractor to repair linings identified to be deficient by WSTD over the next five years. Not completing this project will result in a higher risk of asset failure and higher safety risk to workers entering pipelines.
Water LOS Goal(s) Supported: Regional Delivery Reliability Operating Impact
The project reduces the amount of operational impacts to the Regional Water System due to unscheduled pipeline shutdowns. The temporary pipeline shutdowns associated with the work would be coordinated with WSTD Operations to sustain water delivery within the Regional Water System.

No. 4 Prestressed Concrete
Cylinder Pipe Repair
Facility Category: Water Transmission Program
Project Manager: Janet Ng Current Active Phase: Construction Prior Approved Budget: $ 54,750,530 Proposed Budget: $ 6,726,878 Prior Approved Start: 05/01/2020 Proposed Start: 05/01/2020 Prior Approved Finish: 12/31/2029 Proposed Finish: 02/28/2035 Description
This project will rehabilitate 1.25 miles of Bay Division Pipeline No. 4 Prestressed Concrete Cylinder Pipe (BDPL4 PCCP) in Redwood City. A high number of breaks at multiple locations in the spirally wound prestressed wire, new leaks, and wide circumferential cracks in the concrete core were identified.
Initially, this project was to rehabilitate the pipeline in two phases. However, due to the high cost of the initial repairs and the pipeline nearing the end of its useful life, it was decided to move directly into rehabilitation of the overall 1.25 miles of pipeline. Depending on the outcome of the planning phase and the selected alternative, the construction budget may need to be increased significantly.
Justification
Historically, when PCCP fails due to breaks in the spirally wound prestressing wire, the high-pressure failure can have catastrophic consequences. From recent inspections of BDPL4, a large number of wire breaks and circumferential cracks were discovered. In addition, several leaks have surfaced at circumferential cracks and where the pipeline transitions from PCCP to steel pipe. With the high number of wire breaks in multiple segments, leaks, circumferential cracks, and the pipeline nearing the end of its useful life, this 1.25-mile segment of BDPL4 will need to be rehabilitated or replaced.
Water LOS Goal(s) Supported: Regional seismic reliability, regional delivery reliability and water supply.
Operating Impact
The pipeline segment is currently being operated under a standby bypass mode, which restricts the utilization of the pipeline’s full conveyance capacity.
Budget Change No Schedule Change Yes Scope Change Yes
Reason for Change
The variance in the scope and schedule is due to the need to address the entire 1.25 miles of pipeline instead of a phased repair approach. The variance in the budget is due to rescoping of the project to better respond to increasing leaks. Budget will be revisited in next budget cycle when project scope is better understood.

This project will protect Bay Division Pipelines 3 and 4 (BDPL3&4) from the Union Pacific Railroad Company's (UPRR) additional rail loads at Hammond Way in Milpitas. The scope of work is as follows: Add a 600-foot slip line for BDPL3, add a 600-foot slip line for BDPL4, upgrade appurtenances to current standards, add valves for safe pipe isolation and entry for BDPL3&4, provide temporary safe entry measures, and the restore site.
Justification
UPRR will be constructing new tracks across BDPL3&4 at Hammond Way in Milpitas. BDPL3&4 will need to be protected from additional rail loads by slip lining (inserting a smaller diameter pipeline inside the existing pipeline and grouting the annular space) approximately 600 feet of both BDPL3 and BDPL4. Though this project has been deferred for 10 years, Water Supply & Treatment Division (WST) performed inspection of BDPL 3 internal pipeline in summer 2025 during shutdown. This project was deferred because UPRR’s planned construction changed; therefore, no urgency to move forward with this project at this time.
Water LOS Goal(s) Supported: Regional Deliverability Reliability Operating Impact
BDPL3&4 will be shut down alternately during construction. This needs WST Operations shutdown planning and budget.While the project is deferred, WST performed the BDPL 3 internal pipeline survey and condition assessment during BDPL 3 shutdown in summer 2025.
Budget Change Yes Schedule Change Yes Scope Change Yes
Reason for Change
The variance in the scope, budget, and schedule is due to UPRR deciding they will not be moving forward with replacing their tracks, hence deferring this project scope.

Facility Category: Water Transmission Program
Project Manager: Janet Ng Current Active Phase: Pre-Construction Prior Approved Budget: $ 90,000,000 Proposed Budget: $ 10,041,565 Prior Approved Start: 07/01/2024 Proposed Start: 07/01/2023 Prior Approved Finish: 06/30/2034 Proposed Finish: 12/01/2035 Description
The Palo Alto Pipeline (PAPL) is a 36-inch diameter pipeline that was installed in 1937. It was constructed with 0.25-inch thick steel plate with coal tar coating and lining system. PAPL is approximately 5.27 miles in length. It starts at Redwood City Valve Lot and ends at California Avenue in Palo Alto, California. PAPL is located in a busy urban corridor making repairs difficult. There is no service redundancy for PAPL, and leak repairs and shutdowns are very disruptive to wholesale customers.
A recent condition assessment in April 2024 revealed that the pipeline is in good condition and still has a remaining useful life of 100 years. Therefore, the project scope has been reduced to repair minor coating delamination and upgrade the appurtenances along this pipeline to current standards.
Justification
PAPL is not cathodically protected and corrosion has manifested into leaks at various locations. In addition, the coal tar lining system is problematic and contributes to taste and odor. If this project is delayed or not completed, drinking water quality, water supply and regional delivery reliability may be impacted.
Water LOS Goal(s) Supported: Regional Delivery Reliability
Operating Impact
Minimize the duration of outages due to unscheduled pipeline shutdown and maintain water delivery reliability to wholesale customers.

Facility Category: Water Transmission Program
Project Manager: Anna Y Lam Current Active Phase: Pre-Construction Prior Approved Budget: $ 25,784,556 Proposed Budget: $ 25,784,556 Prior Approved Start: 01/01/2025 Proposed Start: 01/01/2025 Prior Approved Finish: 12/30/2029 Proposed Finish: 07/31/2035 Description
The Pulgas Pump Station, Pulgas Weir, and Pulgas Balancing Reservoir, known collectively as the Pulgas Facilities, are located in San Mateo County. The Pulgas Facilities mitigate pressure fluctuations in the Regional Water System by maintaining the hydraulic grade line in the upstream Pulgas Tunnel and Crystal Springs Bypass Tunnel. The scope of this project includes the following major components: replace all knife gate and slide gate valves; replace all five vertical lift pumps; replace all switchgears and medium voltage starters; upgrade the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment and lighting; evaluate the feasibility of adding a flowmeter to measure the flow rate between the Pulgas Pump Station and Balancing Reservoir; and perform a short circuit coordination and arc flash hazard analysis after electrical upgrades have been completed.
Justification
Pulgas Pump Station is integral to the reliability of water delivery yet has been in service for decades without major rehabilitation. Condition assessments from the Water Supply and Treatment Division (WSTD) and outside consultants have identified various mechanical and electrical deficiencies, and rehabilitation is required to restore reliability and full functionality of the pump station. This project provides water delivery reliability and reduces miscellaneous repairs and unscheduled outages. Not completing this project will result in higher risk of asset failure and lower system reliability.
Operating Impact
The facility must continue to operate during construction. Temporary power may be staged outside of the facilities during the replacement of equipment due to the limited space available within the existing facility.
Budget Change No Schedule Change Yes Scope Change No
Reason for Change
The variance in the schedule is due to the current working durations for planning and design phases.

Rehabilitation
Facility Category: Water Transmission Program
Project Manager: Janet Ng Current Active Phase: Pre-Construction Prior Approved Budget: $ 82,812,600 Proposed Budget: $ 231,098,550 Prior Approved Start: 10/22/2016 Proposed Start: 09/12/2016 Prior Approved Finish: 06/30/2029 Proposed Finish: 02/28/2043 Description
Crystal Springs Pipeline No. 2 (CSPL2) spans from Crystal Springs Pump Station to University Mound Reservoir. It delivers potable water supply to San Francisco and several cities along the Peninsula. Reaches 2 and 3 of CSPL2 in the Town of Hillsborough, unincorporated areas of San Mateo County, the City of San Mateo, and the City of Burlingame are over 80 years old, with Reach 2 located on eroding slopes with difficult access and Reach 3 containing extensive lining failures.
This project will relocate approximately 1.5 miles of 60-inch diameter CSPL2 (portion of Reaches 2 and 3 that traverses through steep terrain with a narrow access road) into Crystal Springs Road by removing the abandoned-in-place 44-inch diameter CSPL1, reline approximately 2.2 miles of CSPL2 (remaining portion of Reach 3) with cement mortar lining, upgrade appurtenances to meet current standards, upgrade service connections, and install in-line and crossover valves for safe pipeline entry.
In addition, a portion of the Sunset Supply Pipeline (SSPL) that runs along a creek near CSPL2 was found to be exposed due to erosion. This erosion needs to be repaired to ensure the SSPL is not undermined.
Justification
CSPL2 traverses through steep terrain with a narrow access road which makes maintenance and repair difficult. The original coal tar lining is due for replacement, and coal tar is believed to be a taste and odor contributor. If the project is delayed or not completed, transporting equipment and materials to the pipeline for repairs will be difficult and the duration of repairs and outages will be lengthier.
Operating Impact
Minimize the duration of outages due to unscheduled pipeline shutdowns, and maintain water delivery redundancy. During construction, operational changes are not anticipated, except the pipeline will be out of service and redundancy lost.
Budget Change Yes Schedule Change Yes Scope Change Yes
Reason for Change
The variance in the scope, schedule and budget are due to the addition of service connection upgrades, repair of eroded creek banks at the Sunset Supply Pipeline and near the CSPL2, removal of coal tar lining to the highest level, and the addition of in-line and crossover valves for safe pipeline entry. This project, with the exception of the erosion repairs at the SSPL, will be deferred due to the higher than expected cost estimate received at 35% design and prioritization of the CIP to meet affordability targets. The erosion repairs at the SSPL will continue as an R&R project.

Crystal Springs Pipeline No. 2 (CSPL2) runs from Crystal Springs Pump Station to University Mound Reservoir. It delivers potable and emergency water supply to San Francisco and to several cities along the peninsula. Reach 5 of CSPL2 is 60 inches in diameter and located in the cities of South San Francisco and San Bruno between Millbrae Yard and Baden Pump station. It is over 80 years old and has extensive lining failures. This project would replace approximately 3.8 miles of coal tar lining with cement mortar lining, upgrade approximately 30 appurtenances to meet current standards, and improve access and shutdown flexibility for maintenance by installing manway structures and a new 48-inch diameter valve on San Andreas Pipeline No. 1 (SAPL1) near Baden Pump Station.
Justification
The original coal tar lining is due for replacement, and coal tar is believed to be a taste and odor contributor. The added access manways will facilitate future inspection and maintenance, and the new in-line isolation valves will provide safe pipeline entry and operational flexibility for Baden Pump Station. If this project is delayed or not completed, water quality issues may arise and regional delivery and supply may be impacted.

Redwood City
Facility Category: Water Transmission Program
Project Manager: Yolanda Quisao Current Active Phase: Pre-Construction Prior Approved Budget: $ 0 Proposed Budget: $ 17,085,011 Prior Approved Start: Proposed Start: 09/01/2025
Prior Approved Finish: Proposed Finish: 12/31/2032
Description
The San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) owns and operates Bay Division Pipeline No. 1 (BDPL1), Bay Division Pipeline No. 2 (BDPL2) and Bay Division Pipeline No. 5 (BDPL5), three potable water transmission pipelines in Redwood City that serve San Francisco and its wholesale customers.
At the Caltrain crossing, BDPL 1&2 show signs of deterioration and leakage, as evident from visual inspection. The pipes have been designated as vulnerable to failure that could adversely impact reliability and safe delivery of water to SFPUC customers and are believed to be subject to dynamic loads from Caltrain’s operating train/tracks that are above the pipes. These pipes must meet SFPUC’s current Level of Service (LOS) standards. The pipes are inside a concrete vault and a box structure in the project location, and the vault and structure show structural failures that could impact the pipes.
Caltrain has railroad tracks across Bay Division Pipelines No. 1 and 2 (BDPL1&2) in Redwood City near a culvert structure. The culvert structure underneath the railroad tracks that houses BDPL1&2 is in disrepair and requires replacement. This project will protect BDPL1&2 from Caltrain’s rail loads at Westmoreland Way and Pacific Avenue in the City of Redwood City. The scope of work is as follows: (1) slip line 600 linear feet (LF) of BDPL1; (2) slip line 600LF of BDPL2; (3) upgrade appurtenances to current standards; (4) Add valves for safe pipe isolation and entry for BDPL1&2; (5) provide temporary safe entry measures; and (6) restore site.
A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Caltrain is being negotiated for Caltrain to perform the design and construction with the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) paying Caltrain.
Justification
The culvert structure underneath the railroad tracks that houses the BDPL1&2 is in disrepair and requires replacement. BDPL1&2 will need to be protected from rail loads by slip lining (inserting a smaller diameter pipeline inside the existing pipeline and grouting the annular space) approximately 600 feet of both BDPL1 and BDPL2. Without the protection scope of work, BDPL 1&2 will fail in this section, delivery of drinking water and public safety would be impacted, and repair cost would be significant.
Operating Impact
BDPL1&2 will be shut down during construction. SFPUC needs to protect the pipelines from potential railroad loads and prior to Caltrain’s box structure retrofit. The pipes are inside a concrete vault and a box structure, shows structural failures that could impact the pipes.

Description
The San Antonio Pump Station (SAPS) Outdoor Substation provides utility power from the Calaveras Substation to the San Antonio Pump Station. It was installed in 1992 and is in need of rehabilitation to replace electrical equipment and components that are at the end of their useful life. The existing outdoor substation can no longer be adequately maintained or repaired due to its age and lack of spare parts and manufacturer support. The scope of this project will be limited to the components located within the existing outdoor substation walk-in enclosure and the 21.6kV-2.4kV transformer.
Justification
Recently, Station SAPS was out of service for over a year due to the failure of the SAPS 52H circuit breaker. The circuit breaker was recently replaced under an emergency contract. In addition, the 48VDC station battery and charger were also replaced. However, other critical components of the outdoor substation need to be replaced to minimize the potential for future unplanned SAPS outages.
Water LOS Goal(s) Supported: Regional Delivery Reliability Operating Impact
This project ensures reliability of water transfers to the San Antonio Reservoir and Sunol Valley Water Treatment Plant in the Sunol region of the Regional Water System. The consequences of not completing this project would result in a higher risk of unplanned outages of the San Antonio Pump Station, impede on the ability to impound Hetch Hetchy water at San Antonio Reservoir, and limit the source water of the Sunol Valley Water Treatment Plant solely to the Calaveras Reservoir.

Description
San Francisco County Jail #5, San Bruno Complex, receives water through a dedicated 10-inch cast iron (CI) pipe fed from a pump station at SFPUC’s Harry Tracy Water Treatment Plant (HTWTP).
The 10-inch CI pipeline, with leaded joints, was installed in 1932 (93 years old), approximately 2.5 miles in length. The pipeline, installed on steep slopes, follows rolling hilly terrain of the San Andreas watershed through sensitive habitats. Throughout the years, there were many leaks along the pipeline that created temporary service disruption to the Jail facility. Project scope:
-Abandon existing 10” cast iron pipeline and pump station at HTWTP. -Install new 10” service connection with City of San Bruno system at Sneath Lane. -Install approximately 2,300 ft. of new 10” ductile iron pipe from Sneath Lane to Jail facility.
Justification
-Most economical in both capital and total lifetime costs -Maintenance of 2,300 ft vs 2.5 miles of pipeline
-Improve water quality at Jail
Operating Impact
-Operations is simpler without the use of a pump station. -Higher degree of reliability in water supply.

The scope of work for the project includes: cement mortar lining (CML) repair; dielectric lining repair, including removal, handling and disposal of existing coal tar lining; installing valves (inline and crossover) to provide permanent safe entry measures to pipelines; pipeline replacement by open trench; internal and external pipeline repair work; protecting sensitive (wetland and creek) areas; protecting utilities and infrastructure; traffic control; site/vegetation restoration; paving restoration.
Justification
WSTD’s ongoing pipeline inspection program has identified segments of the various regional transmission pipelines that require lining repairs. This project would extend the useful life of the Bay Division Pipelines in support of regional water delivery and improve safe pipeline entry. Not completing this project will result in a higher risk of asset failure and higher safety risk to workers entering pipelines.
Water LOS Goal(s) Supported: Regional Delivery Reliability Operating Impact
The project reduces the amount of operational impacts to the Regional Water System due to unscheduled pipeline shutdowns. The temporary pipeline shutdowns associated with the work would be coordinated with WSD Operations to sustain water delivery within the Regional Water System.

This program funds projects that support operation of the Regional Dams, which include Calaveras Dam and James Turner Dam located in Alameda County; and Lower Crystal Springs Dam, Pilarcitos Dam, and San Andreas Dam located in San Mateo County. The program encompasses safety monitoring of the dams, inspections, condition assessments and evaluations, maintenance and repairs, equipment upgrades, and regulatory compliance.
Justification
This program maintains safe operation of the regional dams and reservoirs, and compliance to the California State Water Codes, Laws, and Regulations. One of more recent laws passed is State Bill (SB 92) in 2017, which requires dam owners to update inundation maps every ten years, and update dam emergency action plans annually, and grants the Department of Water Resources enforcement authority to impose civil penalty to dam owners for noncompliance.
Water LOS Goal(s) Supported: Regional Seismic Reliability and Regional Delivery Reliability Operating Impact
The Regional Dams are under the jurisdiction of the State of California Department of Resources. Reservoir operations may be restricted, and civil penalty may be imposed by the State for noncompliance.

Project Manager: Alisha Reinhardt Current Active Phase: Pre-Construction Prior Approved Budget: $ 12,486,370 Proposed Budget: $ 12,486,370 Prior Approved Start: 02/22/2023 Proposed Start: 02/22/2023 Prior Approved Finish: 04/30/2027 Proposed Finish: 12/31/2030 Description
The Upper Alameda Creek Diversion Dam (ACDD) is located on Alameda Creek approximately 12 miles south of the City of Pleasanton and approximately 2.5 river miles upstream of the confluence with Calaveras Creek. The ACDD is an Ogee crest spillway concrete gravity structure that is bounded by cutoff walls both upstream and downstream and sits on a concrete apron formed into the bed of Upper Alameda Creek. During the 2022-2023 winter, historical rains in the area caused flooding in Upper Alameda Creek, with peak flows occurring December 31, 2022. High flow rates in the creek dislodged and transported river sediment material downstream where it was caught by the ACDD. The trapped sediment clogged and damaged ACDD appurtenant structures. Additionally, ACDD lost electrical functionality making sluiceway and diversion gates inoperable. ACDD is also inoperable due to the sediment material blocking the gates. Repairs and improvements to ACDD are broken into short-term repairs and long-term improvements. Short-term repairs include priority repairs and further exploration work to be implemented first and to develop and inform the long-term repair needs. Long-term repairs are to be implemented through a larger contract to fully restore the facility to pre-storm conditions.
Long-term improvements focus on three primary categories, operational strategy, power and communications study, and facility improvements.
Justification
These improvements will bring the facility back into operation for diversion of water, sluicing operation, and fish ladder operation. If facility restoration is not achieved, diversion of water to Calaveras Reservoir will be impaired, the fish ladder will not be operational and not meet permitting requirements, and sluicing operation will not occur to transfer sediment downstream.
Water LOS Goal(s) Supported: Regional Delivery Reliability, Environmental Stewardship Operating Impact
During the winter season, the project will need Operations support to sluice the facility to prevent any additional sediment being trapped in the forebay. After completion of the project and the facility is fully operable, Operations will need to dedicate resources during the rainy season to prevent sediment from becoming trapped in the forebay, operate the fish ladder, and divert water under the optimal flow conditions.
Budget Change No Schedule Change Yes Scope Change No
Reason for Change
The variance in the schedule is due to reprioritization of projects within the CIP. The functionality of the sluicing facilities have been prioritized to prevent future issues, with remaining scope in the long-term timeline repairs.

The Turner Dam is a 193-foot-high zoned earthen embankment dam that was built in 1965. It impounds the San Antonio Reservoir in the East Bay and is one of the raw water source for the Sunol Valley Water Treatment Plant (SVWTP). It is a jurisdictional facility regulated by the California Division of Safety of Dams (DSOD). The project has completed alternative analysis and evaluation to address seismic and hydraulic deficiencies of the Turner Dam and San Antonio Reservoir facilities. Conceptual design for the selected alternative is currently in progress. The selected alternative includes retrofitting the embankment by adding a full height buttress on the downstream side of the dam and a crest raise, retrofitting the spillway, and installing new high-level and low-level outlet works on the right abutment of the dam. In addition, a detailed assessment of the existing outlet works, and left abutment hillside will be carried out to address DSOD’s concerns about slope stability and seismic vulnerability of the outlet works as a potential interim measure for emergency drawdown.
Justification
The existing embankment, spillway and outlet works at Turner Dam do not satisfy DSOD dam safety requirements. Some of the major deficiencies include potential for the dam embankment to experience significant cracking following a maximum credible earthquake (MCE), inadequate seismic resiliency of the spillway following an MCE event, inadequate hydraulic capacity of the spillway under extreme storm events, and inadequate hydraulic capacity of the existing low-level outlet works during emergency. Therefore, a project to improve existing conditions by retrofitting or rebuilding the facilities to remediate the deficiencies is required.
Water LOS Goal(s) Supported: Regional Seismic Reliability and Regional Delivery Reliability Operating Impact
Reservoir elevation would need to be lowered during construction, and this will require additional pumping at the San Antonio Pump Station or using Calaveras Reservoir as the backup source to supply water to SVWTP. The decreased storage would impact the ability to accommodate other system outages such as Hetch Hetchy shutdowns.
Budget Change Yes Schedule Change Yes Scope Change Yes
Reason for Change
The variance of the scope and budget is due to the baseline Fiscal Year (FY) 25-34 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) only including funds to complete the planning phase. Based on the Alternative Analysis Report, the scope of work for construction includes full buttress of the dam with crest raise, spillway retrofit, and new high-level and low-level outlet works. The schedule increase is due to the design and construction phases being delayed due to prioritization of the CIP to meet affordability targets.

The San Andreas Dam is a 107-foot-high earthen embankment dam originally built in 1870 and then raised twice to its current height. It impounds San Andreas Reservoir on the Peninsula and is the only raw water source for the Harry Tracy Water Treatment Plant (HTWTP). It is a jurisdictional facility regulated by the California Division of Safety of Dams (DSOD). The project has completed alternative analysis and evaluation to address seismic and hydraulic deficiencies identified during condition assessment. Conceptual design for the selected alternative is currently in progress. The selected alternative includes retrofitting the existing dam with a full height downstream buttress along with constructing a new spillway and a new outlet tunnel on the right abutment.
Justification
The existing embankment, spillway and outlet works at San Andreas Dam do not satisfy DSOD dam safety requirements. Some of the major deficiencies include the potential for significant deformation and cracking of the embankment following a maximum credible earthquake, inadequate hydraulic capacity for the spillway under extreme storm events, and lack of a dedicate low-level outlet for the emergency drawdown releases.
Therefore, a project to improve existing conditions by retrofitting or rebuilding the facilities to remediate the deficiencies is required.
Water LOS Goal(s) Supported: Regional Seismic Reliability and Regional Delivery Reliability Operating Impact
Reservoir elevation would need to be lowered during construction. To maintain water delivery to HTWTP, additional or more sustainable pump operation at the Crystal Springs Pump Station will likely be required to replenish the reservoir storage at San Andreas Reservoir, and at the HTWTP raw water pumps to pump water to HTWTP.
Budget Change Yes Schedule Change Yes Scope Change Yes
Reason for Change
The variance of the scope and budget is due to the baseline Fiscal Year (FY) 25-34 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) assuming improvements would be required to the existing spillway only. However, after the completion of the Alternative Analysis, the scope of work has increased substantially to include a dam embankment retrofit, new spillway, and new outlet works. The variance of the project schedule is due to the completion of design and construction being delayed because of prioritization of the CIP to meet affordability targets.

Description
The San Andreas Dam, built in 1870, initially released water through the San Andreas Outlet Structure (SAOS) No. 1, which conveyed flows through a tunnel east of the reservoir and then into San Francisco via a pipeline system. Two additional outlet structures, SAOS No. 2 and SAOS No. 3, were constructed later. SAOS No. 1 and its outlet tunnel (Bald Hill tunnel) were abandoned after the two new outlets were constructed. Seismic retrofits of SAOS 2 and SAOS 3 were completed in 2013 as part of the Crystal Springs-San Andreas Transmission System Upgrade Project. Today, reservoir releases flow through tunnels into 72-inch pipelines (SAPL 2 and SAPL 3) downstream of the outlet structures, then to the Raw Water Pump Station at the Harry Tracy Water Treatment Plant. While these facilities provide sufficient capacity to safely draw down the reservoir, their reliance on the pump station and treatment plant means SAOS 2 and SAOS 3 do not function as a dedicated drawdown outlet, as required by DSOD.
This project aims to provide dedicated outlet serving as an interim measure until the full San Andreas Dam Facility Improvements project is completed.
A new outlet system will be constructed, consisting of a blowoff from the San Andreas No. 3 pipeline to provide a dependable method for reservoir evacuation during emergencies. This reservoir currently does not have a dedicated emergency release outlet besides sending flows to HTWTP.
Justification
The existing outlet works at San Andreas Dam do not satisfy DSOD dam safety requirements for a dedicated outlet for emergency drawdown.
Therefore, a project to improve the dam's ability to safely evacuate flows under an emergency event is required.
Water LOS Goal(s) Supported: Regional Seismic Reliability and Regional Delivery Reliability Operating Impact
San Andreas No. 3 pipeline would require an outage to connect the new pipeline to the existing pipeline.

The Pilarcitos Dam is a 103-foot-high earthen embankment dam originally built in 1866 and then raised in 1874. It impounds Lake Pilarcitos on the Peninsula. This is the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission's (SFPUC) oldest jurisdictional facility regulated by the California Division of Safety of Dams (DSOD). The project has completed conceptual engineering design for two alternatives: (1) new dam, new enlarged spillway and new outlet works through dam abutment, and retrofit of existing forebay and Pilarcitos Tunnel No. 1; and (2) permanent reservoir restriction, new enlarged spillway with a lowered crest and retrofit of existing forebay and Pilarcitos Tunnel No. 1, which is not going to be constructed under Pilarcitos Outlet Works Upgrades project. Additional planning phase studies are required prior to starting the design phase for a preferred alternative. These studies include condition assessment and alternative analysis for Stone Dam, which is a non-jurisdictional structure located 2 miles downstream of Pilarcitos Dam, and its appurtenant structures; further evaluation to determine if removal of Pilarcitos and Stone Dam could be considered as an alternative; and potential refinement of permanent reservoir restriction as well as needs of the long term outlet works following completion of the Pilarcitos Outlet Works Upgrades project.
Justification
The existing embankment, spillway and outlet works at Pilarcitos Dam do not satisfy DSOD dam safety requirements. Some of the major deficiencies include the potential for significant deformation and cracking of the embankment following a maximum credible earthquake (MCE), inadequate hydraulic spillway capacity under extreme storm events, and inadequate seismic resiliency of the outlet works under an MCE event. Therefore, a project to improve existing conditions by retrofitting or rebuilding the facilities to remediate the deficiencies is required.
Water LOS Goal(s) Supported: Regional Seismic Reliability and Regional Delivery Reliability Operating Impact
The reservoir will be drained completely to facilitate construction and flow diversion into the regional water system will cease during construction.
However, the existing diversion system downstream at Stone Dam will continue to be able to capture some watershed runoff to serve wholesale customers. Any runoff during the wet seasons throughout the construction duration may need to be captured and routed into the regional water system as a part of water management during construction.
Budget Change Yes Schedule Change Yes Scope Change Yes
Reason for Change
The variance of the scope, budget and schedule change is due to the scope in the baseline Fiscal Year (FY) 25-34 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) changing to include construction of approximately 6-miles of permanent access roads, and improvement to the existing stone dam facility to meet operations need of the Pilarcitos Dam. In addition, the total project budget has increased substantially due to an increase in construction cost for alternative two. The project schedule increase is due to the design phase being delayed because of prioritization of the CIP to meet affordability targets.

Description
The Pilarcitos Dam is a 103-foot-high earthen embankment dam originally built in 1866 and then raised in 1874. It impounds Lake Pilarcitos on the Peninsula. This is the SFPUC's oldest jurisdictional facility regulated by the California Division of Safety of Dams (DSOD). The existing low-level outlet works at Pilarcitos Reservoir are east of the dam and include the Forebay Tower as the intake structure, Pilarcitos Tunnel No. 1, and the Pilarcitos Tunnel No. 1 Outlet Structure on the downstream end near Mud Dam on San Mateo Creek. Currently, the only functional intake at the Forebay Tower is the upper intake. A lower intake has been abandoned and is buried under reservoir sediment. The Forebay Tower is an unreinforced masonry structure.
A condition assessment determined that the Forebay Tower is inadequate under seismic loading. An upgraded outlet system will be constructed to provide a dependable method for reservoir evacuation during emergencies and to enhance reliability for operational and environmental releases.
Justification
During a meeting with the DSOD, the agency requested prioritization of a near-term outlet works reliability improvements for safe emergency drawdown.

Reservoir Facilities Repairs
Facility Category: Water Supply and Storage Program
Project Manager: Ryan Freeborn Current Active Phase: Pre-Construction Prior Approved Budget: $ 12,082,000 Proposed Budget: $ 33,592,334 Prior Approved Start: 09/01/2023 Proposed Start: 01/01/2023 Prior Approved Finish: 06/30/2031 Proposed Finish: 06/30/2031 Description
The Merced Manor Reservoir is located in the Parkside neighborhood of San Francisco, bounded by Ocean Avenue and Sloat Boulevard, and 22nd and 23rd Avenues, and shares the block with San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) Central Pump Station. Merced Manor Reservoir is an open-cut, in-ground, embankment-retained reservoir originally built in 1935. The Merced Manor Reservoir is part of the SFPUC Water Storage System, which stores potable water for the regular circulation of water around the water supply system and for supplying high-pressure Emergency Firefighting Water as part of the Emergency Fire Water System. The project’s performance objective is to remain operational after a seismic event. This facility is categorized as an essential facility per the SFPUC General Seismic Requirements (GSR). The roof structure of the Merced Manor Reservoir was inspected and evaluated for seismic reliability by SFPUC structural engineers in 1995. It was determined that seismic strengthening and repair of the roof structure is needed. This project is to implement the recommendations from the seismic evaluation and inspection of the roof structure of Merced Manor Reservoir. Scope for the project will include performing a structural evaluation of the existing roof structure per current seismic code, developing a design for seismic strengthening and repair, and construction.
Justification
Seismic strengthening and repair of the Merced Manor Reservoir roof structure is needed to ensure the function of the reservoir and the ability to deliver water to the Merced Manor zone after a major earthquake. Based on the condition assessment of the Merced Manor Reservoir Facility, the structure is currently in serviceable condition for routine operations. However, some structural elements, including the perimeter wall, the perimeter end-bay segments of the roof system, short columns, and potentially the outlet tower and valve house, are expected to experience significant damage in a major seismic event. Consequently, it is unlikely that the reservoir can remain operational after the design earthquake. In conclusion, the structural systems appear to lack seismic reliability required to meet the project’s performance objectives.

Sunset South Basin: In a 1996 study, the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) recommended seismic strengthening of the roof structure and other associated reservoir structural elements at the Sunset Reservoir South Basin. However, due to subsequent prioritization decisions made by SFPUC under WSIP, those recommendations were deferred. Because the the study is now over 22 years old, the recommendations should be reviewed and updated prior to developing and implementing a structural improvement project. The South Basin contains less dam embankment compared to the North Basin; therefore, an analysis of the embankment based on up-to-date geotechnical and seismic inputs are recommended. Additional data should be obtained to better characterize the embankment fill, foundation materials, and piezometric conditions. The reservoir roof structure and other structural elements should be strengthened, based upon previously performed studies, and would bring the structural components to current standards.
Justification
This project provides funding to implement recommendations from AECOM's Report, "Structural and Seismic Performance Review for DSOD Jurisdictional Reservoirs", dated August 7, 2018. The report includes seismic rehabilitation recommendations for four reservoirs under Division of Safety of Dams (DSOD) jurisdiction, including Sunset South Basin, U Mound South Basin, Stanford Heights, and Summit Reservoir. The funding will support additional investigation and/or risk remediation measures, including an assessment of the seismic risk level for the reservoir's embankments as well as structural elements including the reservoir roof, divider walls, liners, gate towers, inlet outlet conduit, and other ancillary features.
Water LOS Goal(s) Supported:
Operating Impact
Replacement and repair work may cause a short duration outage of the reservoir; however, impact should be minimal based upon operational work-arounds. However, if the reservoir embankment or structures fail, it would result in a significant impact to Operations to reliably supply water to the distribution zones.
Budget Change Yes Schedule Change Yes Scope Change No
Reason for Change
The variance in the project budget is due to budget reductions to meet affordability targets. The variance in the schedule is due to budget constraints.

The University Mound Reservoir is located between Felton, Woolsey, Bowdoin, and University Streets. It is comprised of two basins termed the North Basin and the South Basin. The University Mound South Basin was constructed in 1937 and supplies water directly by gravity. In a 1996 study, the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) recommended seismic strengthening of the roof structure and other associated reservoir structural elements. However, due to subsequent prioritization decisions made by SFPUC under the Water System Improvement Program, (WSIP), those recommendations were deferred. Because the reservoir study is now over 22 years old, the recommendations should be reviewed and updated. The recommendations and subsequent improvements will bring the structural seismic condition up to current standards. The funding will support additional investigation and/or risk remediation measures, including an assessment of the seismic risk level for the reservoir's embankments as well as structural elements, including the reservoir roof, divider walls, liners, gate towers, inlet/outlet conduit, and other ancillary features.
Justification

Sunset Reservoir is located near the ocean in San Francisco and is one of the regional reservoirs that is owned and maintained by the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC). It is also one of the reservoirs that stores the drinking water from Lake Merced Pump Station. The purpose of this project is to replace the 10-foot existing fence with a marine-graded or non-corrosion material and anti-climb fence product that complies with SFPUC security design guidelines.
Justification
The existing Sunset Reservoir perimeter fencing is beyond its useful service life and in need of replacement. The fencing has corroded and is at risk of substantial failure. Failure to replace the fencing will leave the reservoir grounds unprotected and easily accessible. The fencing could fail and cause unintended property damage and/or personal injury.
Water LOS Goal(s) Supported: Regional Delivery Reliability Operating Impact
When completed, a new security fence would prevent unauthorized intrusions that would interfere with day-to-day operations in the facility. Security for the facility and city staff safety is critical. It also minimizes the cost of having a security guard during office hours and off hours.
Budget Change Yes Schedule Change No Scope Change Yes
Reason for Change
The variance in the scope, budget, and schedule is due to updated construction costs and City staff labor cost. The project is currently in Planning Phase, engineering estimate would be refined during Design Phase.

The project includes redevelopment of the existing Sunol Yard and construction of a Watershed Center near the Sunol Water Temple. The facilities are located in Sunol, California. The Sunol Yard is the East Bay operation and maintenance headquarters for Water Enterprise. Most of the existing structures at the Sunol Yard date back to 1930 and were converted from the original purpose to office and shop spaces. The structures contain lead-based paint, asbestos, bats, and bat guano, and did not meet current building, health, or safety codes. The project will demolish six existing dilapidated structures at the Sunol Yard and construct a LEED Gold administration building, shops, fuel station, backup generator system, truck wash station, paving and site restoration. The scope of Center (Phase B) will consist of the following: (1) Construction of a one-story LEED Gold facility that will include an interpretive display exhibit area, a freshwater stream profile aquarium, history display alcoves, a watershed discovery lab classroom, a community multi-purpose room, restrooms, an entry plaza, a reception area, patios, and administrative offices; and (2) Construction of a 2.5-acre discovery trail area with native plant landscaping, irrigation, meandering trails, seating areas and water and landscape features; (3) Site restoration of the Temple area forecourt; (4) Construction of new stairs and ramps to the picnic area; (5) Installation of underground utilities; (6) Site restoration and paving.
Justification
The San Francicso Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) Alameda Creek Watershed Center (Center) will be a gathering place for increasing the awareness and appreciation of the natural, cultural, scenic, historic, and recreational resources of the Alameda Creek watershed. Consistent with the SFPUC Water Enterprise Environmental Stewardship Policy, and as described in the SFPUC Alameda Watershed Management Plan, the Center will enhance public awareness and provide education opportunities related to water quality, water supply, conservation, and environmental stewardship issues.
Water LOS Goal(s) Supported: Regional Delivery Reliability and Sustainability The Sunol Yard construction is complete. The Center construction is 97% complete. Any delay would impact the completion of construction and opening of the facility.

The Sunol Yard serves as the central hub for East Bay operations, it houses various Water Enterprise staff and supports activities. In addition, it contains a range of maintenance shops and facilities located in Alameda County. The scope of this project consists of the following: replace backup power system and associated appurtenances; provide new truck wash systems; upgrade Temple Road Storage area, including fencing, equipment, and trailer zones; replace existing Sunol Yard perimeter fencing and gates; provide additional electric vehicle charging stations; provide a new shop for information technology (IT) personnel; provide new Water Supply and Treatment Division (WSTD) wing entry/exit door; and provide new storage space for IT (potentially include in new shop). This project will also include scope for completing the Town of Sunol Pump Station Upgrades, funded under the Local Water group.
Justification
The Sunol Yard was renovated in 2020 and demolished existing dilapidated structures and systems and constructed a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold administration building, shops, fuel station, backup generator system, truck wash station, paving, and site restoration. Several changes and additions were identified to further improve the reliability and functionality of the Yard. If the project is delayed or not completed, maintenance operations will be inefficient and there will be security risks for the area because there is scope to make the facility more secure. In addition, there is scope to include a backup generator for the facility to make the facility a reliable hub for East Bay operations during emergency events.
Water LOS Goal(s) Supported: Regional Delivery Reliability
Operating Impact
The project will improve the day-to-day operations by securing the facility and preventing future breakins during off-hours, and providing a reliable electrical backup. If the project is not implemented, the facility risks being impacted by PG&E power shutdowns and security issues.

The current San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) Water Enterprise radio system is past the end of its service life and needs to be replaced. SFPUC is a water and power utility provider to the state of California, the Bay Area, and San Francisco. Utility providers need voice radio communication systems that have adequate coverage and remain functional during a disaster. SFPUC has been working to implement the Water Radio Replacement Project (WRRP) to improve its radio communications and thereby improve water and power system reliability. The project is also adding radio stations to provide coverage to infrastructure that was previously not covered; a critical requirement from user interviews, a requirement from an SFPUC personnel safety perspective, and a requirement from SFPUC Divisions for infrastructure maintenance and operations perspectives. SFPUC has contracted Motorola Solutions, Inc. (Motorola) to perform the detailed system design, installation, configuration, and testing of the new radio system. The new radio system will consist of 37 fixed sites consisting of high mountain top repeaters, in-building repeaters, and dispatch consoles in control centers. All those sites are needed to reach hundreds of handheld and mobile radios.
This project will replace the existing legacy radio system with a Mission Critical Public Safety grade / P25 Phase 2 simulcast radio system.
Justification
The project is replacing antiquated radio infrastructure throughout six counties to provide increased disaster preparedness, emergency response, radio and coverage needed for the maintenance of the infrastructure, safety of personnel, and to prepare SFPUC's infrastructure and personnel for catastrophic events.
Water LOS Goal(s) Supported: Regional Delivery Reliability and Water Quality Operating Impact
The project will improve day-to-day radio communication in addition to providing critical redundant emergency communication capability.
Budget Change Yes Schedule Change Yes Scope Change Yes
Reason for Change
The variance in the scope, schedule, and budget is due due to the COVID 19 Pandemic, staffing changes, supply chain issues, radio site leases, site development, environmental review (California Environmental Quality Act [CEQA]/National Environmental Policy Act [NEPA]) and winter storm damage recovery efforts from previous seasons.

Facility Category: Communication and Monitoring Program Project Manager: Annie Li Current Active Phase: Pre-Construction Prior Approved Budget: $ 9,611,862 Proposed Budget: $ 12,983,431 Prior Approved Start: 07/01/2024 Proposed Start: 02/12/2025 Prior Approved Finish: 06/30/2034 Proposed Finish: 06/30/2036 Description
The Security System Renewal and Replacement (R&R) program is used for maintenance and repair of existing equipment and for replacement or upgrades of worn, aging, or failed equipment. The R&R program budget is used for maintenance, design, engineering support, and capital expenditures above $5,000 that rely on in-house trades, purchase orders, Job Order Contracts, or formal bid contracts to execute maintenance, repair, and replacement work. This program is continuous in order to adapt to the on-going needs that arise from corrective and preventive maintenance work orders, consultant and internal inspections and analysis, and updated codes and regulations.
The purpose of this project is to design, construct, and integrate security infrastructure for the Water Supply and Treatment Division's major facilities.
There are 5 categories of security protection, including fencing or physical barriers, locks (either physical or Lenel system), alarms, video surveillance, and short term security services (i.e., security guards).
Major facilities that would require security infrastructure to be installed are as follows:
(1) Sunol Valley Water Treatment Plant (SVWTP) security (gates, locks, and keys replaced with Lenel system); (2) Irvington Portal new gate operator;
(3) San Antonio Pump Station (SAPS) security system modification; (4) Alameda East new gate operator;
(5) Thomas Shaft new exit gate loop sensor;
(6) Tesla new intercom system and new exit gate loop sensor; (7) Capital equipment purchases in support of the System Operations, Distribution Operations, and Maintenance groups; (8) Sunol Valley Chloramination Facility (SVCF), which does not have a Lenel system in place; (9) Crystal Springs Pump Station (CSPS) inner gate Lenel reader and actuator; (10) Pulgas Dechlor Facility (PDF) level at building entries; and (11) Baden Pump Station (BPS) gate vehicle sensor and condition assessment on gate and actuator and renew if needed
Other upgrades related to this program will be developed through condition assessments and then prioritized and phased.
Justification
While some of the water system facilities have received security system upgrades through Water System Improvement Program (WSIP), but not all sites were covered, with some sites not fully funded for needed upgrades.
Water LOS Goal(s) Supported: Regional Delivery Reliability and Water Quality Operating Impact
The project will improve security at all facilities within Water Supply and Treatment.
Budget Change Yes Schedule Change Yes Scope Change Yes
Reason for Change
The variance in the scope for this R&R project is due to continuous refinement. The variance in the budget is due to additional R&R funding for maintenance, design, engineering support, and capital expenditures. The variance in schedule is due to extending through 6/30/2036, because this R&R project is continuous.

The Water Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system provides mission-critical automation, monitoring, and control of the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission’s (SFPUC) Regional Water System Operations. Programmable Logic Controlers (PLCs) are the critical component of the SCADA system that enable local process automation and remote monitoring and control. The existing PLCs do not support the current industry security standards and will be replaced with PLCs that comply with the latest regulatory and industry security standards. In addition, the associated programming and configuration software runs on older versions of the Windows Operating System that are no longer supported by Microsoft (and the SFPUC) and, therefore, expose the Water SCADA system to increased security risk. Project funding is spread across 10 years (2027-2036) to accommodate the end of manufacturer support while recognizing the limitations on concurrent operational outages to critical facilities. A prioritized list is available that provides upgrade locations, but it is not published here for security reasons. This project will upgrade about 93 regional sites for SCADA system PLCs and associated components and systems that are or will be discontinued and will no longer be supported by manufacturers.
Justification
SCADA is the software that allows Water Supply and Treatment Division (WSTD) operators to see and remotely operate the water system. If SCADA becomes unreliable, or is out of date, manual protocols must be put in place immediately. Without this project, SFPUCs SCADA and other systems would be vulnerable to cyber attacks and becoming obsolete as technology evolves.
Water LOS Goal(s) Supported: Regional Delivery Reliability and Water Quality Operating Impact
The reliability of SCADA is essential to operating the Regional Water System. The project is currently in Planning Phase. Approximately 150 combined local and regional sites needs to be upgraded for SCADA PLC system within 10-year period.
Budget Change Yes Schedule Change Yes Scope Change Yes
Reason for Change
The variance in scope, budget, and schedule is due to combining the local and regional sites for SCADA PLC system upgrades, which is approximately 150 sites combined total and scope of work is unique per site. Schedule extended to 6/30/2036, as this R&R project is continuous.

The Program Management project provides funding for planning and management support tasks that are programmatic in nature and support the Water Enterprise Capital Improvement Program (CIP). The Regional Program Management project is funded by Regional Water CIP for efforts that support the Regional projects and the Local Program Management project is funded by the Local Water CIP for tasks within the Local program. The Program Management project includes support funding for San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) staff performing strategic capital planning; program budget planning and management; project controls; quarterly report preparation; preparation of loan and grant applications and administration of such loans and grants; public outreach and communications; document control and management; workforce development; and other programmatic support tasks. The project also includes support for the City Attorney's charges related to the capital program but that are not project-specific in nature. The project also supports the Water Program Management Contract consultant and other professional services contract task orders that provide programmatic support to the CIP, including programmatic planning evaluations, system-wide analyses, safety and other programmatic initiatives, and other support services for the capital program that are system-wide and not project-specific.
Justification
The 10-Year Water Enterprise CIP requires significant planning and management activities that provide benefit to all projects within the CIP; this programmatic project assures program costs are captured and distributed appropriately across the CIP. First and second year funding are estimated for anticipated tasks and will be monitored to better account for real programmatic costs, needs, and justification. Second year funding includes an additional $1 million to fund the first year of the proposed 10-year Water Program Management contract. The budget request will be adjusted appropriately for the next 10-Year budget cycle to better accommodate programmatic needs.
Operating Impact
Programmatic support provides more consistency and optimization for planning and management activities, thus improving CIP delivery through greater transparency, controls, and work process efficiencies. Earlier and higher quality CIP delivery reduces operating and system risk through earlier and better optimized asset improvements.

FSP ID: Project Title 10015112: ROW Protection Facility Category: Watersheds and Land Management Project Manager: Dina Brasil Current Active Phase: Not Started Prior Approved Budget: $ 4,576,386 Proposed Budget: $ 5,380,128 Prior Approved Start: 07/01/2025 Proposed Start: 07/01/2026 Prior Approved Finish: 06/30/2034 Proposed Finish: 06/30/2036 Description
The purpose of this program is to support investments securing, protecting, and maintaining San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC)-owned water pipeline rights-of-way (ROW) and watershed lands, entitlements, and access, consistent with SFPUC policies. The SFPUC owns and operates water storage and transmission facilities in Tuolumne, San Joaquin, Stanislaus, Alameda, San Mateo, and San Francisco Counties within pipeline ROW or watersheds owned by the SFPUC in fee or by easement. This program provides funding to support investments in real estate assets under SFPUC jurisdiction and improves the ability to cost-effectively manage and maintain these assets, and the facilities they contain, in good condition.
Justification
During the implementation of the Water System Improvement Program, issues on SFPUC ROW became apparent, such as unpermitted encroachments and unauthorized uses by adjoining landowners that inhibited the SFPUC’s ability to access or use its ROW for operational purposes, and in many cases, posed actual risks to the safety of the SFPUC pipelines. While many of the issues were resolved, some issues still remain, and new issues continue to appear, that Water Enterprise and Real Estate Services staff need to address to ensure that ROW entitlements and access are retained.
Without funding for staff to inspect, monitor, and resolve ROW issues, the SFPUC risks losing the practical control of its property for operational use and endangers its facilities by failing to prevent structural encroachments from being constructed over its pipelines.
Water LOS Goal(s) supported: Regional Delivery Reliability
Operating Impact
SFPUC operations staff need access to SFPUC facilities at all times for routine and emergency inspection, maintenance, and repair work. The project provides resources required for the long-term management of SFPUC-owned ROW and watershed lands to ensure that the use of SFPUC lands by third parties is permitted and complies with SFPUC policies, thus safeguarding the SFPUC’s ability to access and use its property. Projects are the responsibility of Natural Resources and Lands Management Divisions, in coordination with Real Estate Services and Water Supply and Treatment.
Budget Change Yes Schedule Change Yes Scope Change No
Reason for Change
The variance in the budget is due to increased funding needs throughout the project. The variance in the schedule is due to work being ongoing and continuing through 6/30/36.

The San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) has identified landslide and erosion damage that has destabilized East Shore Service Road and West Shore Service Road and adjacent areas in three locations on San Francisco Peninsula Watershed lands situated along the San Andreas Reservoir in San Mateo County. This project is to evaluate and repair the damage, and to implement long term solutions for SFPUC staff and contractors to continue to use the roads to access, operate, and maintain SFPUC facilities and watershed lands. In addition, this project will install a new anchor system for the floating debris boom in San Andreas Reservoir upstream of the dam.
The scope of work includes the following actions.
At the San Andreas Service Road (North), grade and backfill the slopes from the access road to the reservoir's eastern shoreline in order to reestablish the embankment. Install shoreline riprap at all San Andreas Service Road erosion repair locations.
At the Ingoing Road (San Andreas Dam Gate) location, where the slope from the access road is eroded steeply to the shoreline, install a 475-linear-foot soldier pile retaining wall with tiebacks and restore the embankment from the retaining wall to the shoreline with engineered backfill and/or riprap.
Grind and overlay the roadway surface for the Ingoing Road. Install two new 35 foot-long to 40-foot-long culverts with associated concrete storm inlet structures
Replace and install new anchorage system for the floating debris boom that stretches across San Andreas Reservoir.
Justification
This project provides funding to support investments in watershed assets under SFPUC management and improves the ability to cost-effectively manage access to and protect water system infrastructure by maintaining roads and bridges in good condition. If project is delayed and constuction is not completed, public safety is jeopardized and city staff are unable to effectively managed the watershed facilities.
Water LOS Goal(s) Supported: Sustainability
Operating Impact
The project provides resources required for the long-term management of SFPUC watershed lands. While the project is being implemented, city staff and public entities will use alternate routes within the area.

The San Francisco Public Utilities Comission (SFPUC) Alameda Creek Watershed Center is located in Sunol, Californa and is a gathering place for increasing the awareness and appreciation of the natural, cultural, scenic, historic, and recreational resources of the Alameda Creek watershed. The Watershed Center is a one-story Net-Zero Energy LEED Gold facility that includes an interpretive display exhibit area, a freshwater stream profile aquarium, history display alcoves, a watershed discovery lab classroom, a community multi-purpose room, restrooms, an entry plaza, a reception area, patios, and administrative offices. The facility also includes a 2.5-acre discovery trail area with native plant landscaping, irrigation, meandering trails, seating areas and water and landscape features. The Alameda Creek Watershed Center Phase 2 project scope consists of the following: provide backup power system for the Watershed Center and nursery area; new overflow parking area; upgrades to Sunol Nursery Area, including new office space, shade structures, and permanent fencing; Sycamore Grove Trail improvements with pathways; rebuild Watershed Cottage; convert temporary facilities to permanent, including staging, trailer, and nursery areas; new exterior Muwekma exhibit, including identifing, developing, and constructing the reinternment site; new wheelchair lift at Sunol Temple; additional electric vehicle charging stations; front gate and security upgrades at four corners; Temple road upgrades, including 5-foot-wide resin pavement sidewalk on each side of road and entrance to Sunol Temple, turning radius improvements at driveways, and irrigation and landscaping improvements; Watershed Center shade structures; new 5,000-square-foot shop with office space for the radio team; replacement of 6-inch water line; abandonment of Pleasanton Well Pipeline; and Sunol Temple repairs.
Justification
Some scope items were not included in the original construction contract due to budget concerns and will be installed in this project. Other scope items were identified to improve the reliability and functionality of the facility. A delay in implementing the project will reduce the reliabilty and functionality of the facility.
Water LOS Goal(s) Supported: Sustainability
Operating Impact
The project will improve the reliability and functionality of the facility. The operation of the facility may be interupted during connections and upgrades to existing power systems and access may be limited to areas during construction.
Budget Change Yes Schedule Change Yes Scope Change Yes
Reason for Change
The variation in the project scope and budget since the last approved Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) can be attributed to additional scope requested by Natural Resources and Land Mnamagement Division (NRLMD), phasing of scope to install some scope in advance of other work, increases in schedule durations and cost estimates, escalation and contingencies for the added scope, and soft costs to support the scope additions. The variance in the schedule is due to construction work being deferred to Fiscal Year (FY) 36-37 due to prioritization of the CIP to meet affordability targets.

Project Manager: Tim Ramirez Current Active Phase: Pre-Construction Prior Approved Budget: $ 1,500,000 Proposed Budget: $ 1,500,000 Prior Approved Start: 07/01/2024 Proposed Start: 07/01/2024 Prior Approved Finish: 11/30/2026 Proposed Finish: 06/01/2029 Description
The existing access road used by San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) staff will need to be improved (e.g., widened) to create safe travel conditions for two-way vehicle traffic and improved line of sight. The existing paved area, currently used by SFPUC staff as a trailer/boat turn around to launch boats onto the reservoir, will need to be expanded to accommodate public parking and restrooms. Implementation of the project will establish authorized and limited public access for fishing in Calaveras Reservoir and provide an education opportunity and recreational experience while protecting drinking water quality, the existing facilities on site, and natural resources within SFPUC watershed lands. The project will also install new security fencing along the northern and southern boundaries to provide security as the reservoir level fluctuates. This will protect existing facilities and manage trespass onto the watershed and protect existing SFPUC regional water system infrastructure. The existing vehicle gate from Calaveras Road will need to be improved to accommodate regular authorized access. The specific restriction to numbers of vehicles and individuals will be developed at a later date. Note that NO boats will be allowed on the reservoir for public fishing or any other public purpose. Fishing will be from the shoreline only.
Justification
In order for the proposed project to be approved and implemented, the Alameda Watershed Management Plan needs to be amended, including the Final Programmatic Environmental Impact Report. In addition, the SFPUC drinking water permit from the State Water Resources Control Bord also needs to be amended based on a determination that public fishing would not affect the purity and safety of the water supply in Calaveras Reservoir for domestic use under Health and Safety Code section 117045. This project will be consistent with the amended Alameda Watershed Management Plan and existing state law related to fishing access.
Water LOS Goal(s) Supported: Environmental Stewardship and Sustainability Operating Impact
This project will be implemented to avoid any impacts on ongoing use of the existing Calaveras Reservoir boat ramp (e.g., regular limnology and monitoring efforts).

Description
The Natural Resources and Lands Management Division (NRLMD) manages and maintains dozens of facilities within the Alameda Creek and Peninsula Watersheds. These facilities include Watershed Cottages (employee residences), work centers, shops, storage facilities, and other structures necessary to manage and protect the many thousands of acres of SFPUC watershed lands. These facilities range in age from newly constructed to more than 160 years old, and many of them require replacement or extensive repairs to keep in service over the next decade. This program allows for the planning, design, and construction efforts necessary to support the repair, replacement, and/or new construction of Watershed Facilities, including but not limited to: watershed cottages (including appurtenances and supporting utility infrastructure), Alameda Creek Watershed Center, Sunol Native Plant Nursery, Pulgas/Sunol Temples, and other NRLMD-managed facilities that collectively support San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) Water Enterprise operations.
Justification
Funding provides for the repair and replacement of Watershed Facilities, including planning and investigation at several currently out-of-service facilities. Improvements will minimize existing hazards, allow for improved workspaces, and improve the overall condition of the Watershed Facilities.
Insufficient funding will result in deferred maintenance of critical infrastructure and may prevent NRLMD from meeting operational goals in the near future.
Water LOS Goal(s) supported: Regional Delivery Reliability Operating Impact
This program supports improvements that enhance operational capacity, including the efficient and effective operation of publicly-accessible facilities.
It also supports repair and replacement of watershed security facilities.

This program provides the resources to meet the long-term monitoring and permit requirements associated with Water System Improvement Program (WSIP) projects. Projects with long-term monitoring required by environmental permits include construction of the Bioregional Habitat Restoration (BHR) Mitigation projects and Revegetation of WSIP-construction sites. The capital component of meeting long-term monitoring and maintenance obligations associated with construction projects is generally limited to those required within the first 5 or 10 years after construction. Monitoring and maintenance obligations beyond this time frame, including perpetual obligations, are supported by Long-Term Monitoring and Permitting Programmatic funds. Note this program has two projects within it: Alameda Watershed Monitoring (10015234) and Peninsula Watershed Monitoring (10015235).
Justification
This program provides the resources to comply with terms and conditions in state and federal environmental regulatory permits associated with construction of WSIP projects. By providing the resources to comply with the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission’s (SFPUC) obligations from its state and federal environmental regulatory permits, this program will protect SFPUC’s credibility and trustworthiness, which will in turn minimize the cost of future SFPUC projects requiring environmental permits, and will also reduce risk and long-term costs associated with operation and maintenance of the SFPUC water system.

This project supports programmatic planning activities (that are not project-specific), as funding allows, such as development and updates of the Alternative Water Supply (AWS) Plan; annual progress reports; compliance with AB 1823; participation in regional planning, research, and regulatory updates; coordination for financing, legal, and contracting; and other program development tasks. This project also includes investigation of new project opportunities that may eventually mature into standalone Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) projects.
Justification
The scope of this project is programmatic in nature, including administration of the AWS Program and the preparation of planning and programmatic studies and related materials. This project includes participation in various advisory committees. This project includes staffing costs and other personnel costs (including City Attorney's Office and Water Quality Division) in support of the AWS Program. The projects that will be developed represent water supply options that can help meet long-term Level of Service (LOS) goals of the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) and provide dry and normal year supply reliability. All future work is subject to SFPUC approval. The extent of this programmatic work is dictated by available funding.
Operating Impact
This program identifies and communicates how alternative water supplies can augment deliveries from the Regional Water System. While operating impacts will be depend on individual projects, this program will likely introduce new supply sources to the Regional Water System. This will require careful collaboration with system operating divisions, depending on the location of proposed facilities. Those impacts are described under separate project narratives.

This project would provide an average annual supply of 1.06 million gallson per day (mgd) of recycled water to irrigation customers in Colma and Daly City via a new conveyance system that would extend from the new recycled water treatment plant down to Colma. These irrigation customers currently using groundwater would use recycled water instead and additional groundwater could be stored in the basin for use during droughts. San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) customers would benefit from the increased reliability of the South Westside Basin for additional drinking water supply during droughts.
Justification
This project supports the SFPUC's Groundwater Storage and Recovery Project (currently under construction) by making an additional 0.7 mgd of groundwater available in the South Westside Basin for drought supply. The project is envisioned to serve seven cemeteries and other smaller irrigation customers with new recycled water supply, replacing existing groundwater pumping from the Basin. This will free up groundwater, enhancing the reliability of the Basin. The project has been a regional partnership between the SFPUC, Daly City, and the California Water Service Company (Cal Water), in coordination with the Town of Colma and the irrigation customers who are located largely within Cal Water's service area. As a private water utility, Cal Water's participation in the project is subject to approval by the California Public Utilities Commission. If the project were not implemented, there could be additional risks for the Groundwater Storage and Recovery project because there would be more demands placed on the groundwater during droughts.
Water LOS Goal(s) Supported: Water Supply

PureWater Peninsula will bring 6 million gallons per day (mgd) of purified water into the Regional Water System. This is an indirect potable reuse project where tertiary effluent from Silicon Valley Clean Water would be treated to drinking water standards and conveyed to Crystal Springs Reservoir, where it would be blended with regional surface water supplies and treated again at the Harry Tracy Water Treatment Plant (HTWTP). The project entails the construction of a new advanced water purification plant and conveyance system. The advanced water purification plant would be located on Silicon Valley Clean Water property at Redwood Shores in Redwood City. The pipeline that convey the purified water would be from the new treatment plant at Redwood Shores to Crystal Springs Reservoir. A potential future Phase 2, including direct potable reuse and additional partners, is envisioned.
Justification
This project will provide 6 mgd of additional drinking water supply to supplement the Regional Water System and increase water supply reliability.
Without the project, the regional water supply customers would face even greater water restrictions during dry years.
Water LOS Goal(s) Supported: Water Supply
Operating Impact
Crystal Springs Reservoir is owned and operated by the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC). A new water supply in this reservoir would impact permitting, reservoir management, and treatment plant operations at HTWTP. The SFPUC will own and operate new infrastructure related to this project, including an advanced water treatment facility and pipeline to Crystal Springs Reservoir.
Budget Change Yes Schedule Change Yes Scope Change Yes
Reason for Change
The variance in scope is due to the inclusion of the full project. The variance in the proposed total project budget is due to inclusion of the full cost of the project, such as legal and right-of-way, design, construction, and construction management. The previous Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) included only budget for 10% design and environmental review. The variance in schedule is also due to fully loading the schedule through construction closeout.

This project is a partnership among the Union Sanitary Distrct (USD), Alameda County Water District (ACWD), and San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC). USD is the wastewater provider to Femont, Newark, and Union City and operates the Alvarado Wastewater Treatment Plant located in Union City. ACWD is the water purveyor to the cities above and a small portion of the City of Hayward. The project could provide a new purified water supply using USD's treated wastewater. The project includes the construction of an avanced water treatment plant near the Alvarad Wastewater Treatment Plant and a conveyance system that would deliver purified water to Qarry Lakes Groundwater Recharge Area in Fremont, which would be the first phase of the project. The secon phase could deliver purified water directly to ACWD’s water treatment plant, and potentially to SFPUC’s regional transmission system; however, exact location of the connection point has not been evaluated. The project is anticipated to be implemented across two phases. Phase 1 would provide up to 5.4 million gallons per day (mgd) and a potential Phase 2 would provide an additional
4.9 mgd for a maximum of 10.3 mgd of purified water.
Justification
Purified water produced by advanced water treatment at USD could be transmitted to the Quarry Lakes Groundwater Recharge Area to supplement recharge into the Niles Cone Groundwater Basin or put to other uses in the ACWD service area. With the additional water supply to ACWD, an in-lieu exchange with SFPUC could result in more water left in the Regional Water System. Additional water supply could also be directly transmitted to SFPUC through a new intertie between ACWD and the SFPUC Bay Division Pipelines.
Water LOS Goal(s) Supported: Water Supply
Operating Impact
If SFPUC receives water directly from the project, it would potentially impact operations of one of the Bay Division Pipelines. How or where the purified water could tie into the RWS has not been determined.

This project was initiated to identify a conveyance pathway to move 10,000 to 20,000 acre-feet of water in a critically dry year from Contra Costa Water District's Los Vaqueros Reservoir for the benefit of the SFPUC Regional Water System (RWS). Although the Los Vaqueros Reservoir Expansion project is no longer moving forward, this project will continue to explore the feasibility of receiving water from sellers in the Delta. Water transfers represent a comparatively feasible and scalable option for additional water supplies during drought conditions. The South Bay Aqueduct, owned and operated by the California Department of Water Resources, could facilitate water transfers to the RWS at San Antonio Reservoir.
Justification
Delivery to San Antonio Reservoir is currently identified as the most feasible means to convey transferred water from the Delta to the RWS. An existing South Bay Aqueduct turnout near San Antonio Reservoir could be refurbished and used to receive deliveries from Delta sellers. The existing turnout was built in the late 1980s and used briefly during the severe drought in the 1990s. The turnout is likely undersized for the SFPUC’s needs; project estimates reflect anticipated modifications to the existing turnout.

The San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC), Valley Water, City of San Jose, and City of Santa Clara are in the early planning stage of developing a joint purified water project that would serve the local demands of San Jose and Santa Clara during all types of water years, while also supplementing the water supply provided through the SFPUC’s Regional Water System (RWS) in dry years. An initial concept for a 10-million-gallon-per-day (mgd) advanced water treatment facility (i.e., purified water facility) using source water from the San Jose-Santa Clara Regional Wastewater Facility was studied prior to Valley Water joining the partnership in 2024. The project is currently being revised to include Valley Water, maximize utility, and ensure the critical needs of all partners are met. Project development is proposed only through environmental review and 10% design. If and when SFPUC and project partners agree to proceed with this project beyond planning, full design and construction will be included in the appropriate Capital Improvement Program cycle.
Justification
This project provides an opportunity to increase water supply reliability in the SFPUC's service area. This project also contributes to SFPUC's evaluation of whether it can provide permanent status to the City of San Jose and City of Santa Clara as obligated under the Water Supply Agreement between SFPUC and its Wholesale Customers. If this project is delayed or not completed, the SFPUC risks violating the aforementioned obligation under the Water Supply Agreement.
Water LOS Goal Supported: Water Supply
Operating Impact
Should this project be constructed, close coordination between the new purified water facility and RWS will be necessary. The new purified water facility will need new operators compliant with direct potable reuse regulations. The responsible agency and ownership of this new facility have not yet been determined, but some portion is expected to be provided by SFPUC. The new water supply will likely connect to the RWS via the Bay Division Pipelines (BDPL) #3 and #4. It is anticipated that existing staff from the Water Supply and Treatment Division (WSTD) and Water Quality Division (WQD) will coordinate with the new purified water facility operators, particularly to ensure adequate response time in the event that off-specification water is produced at the purified water facility, operational adjustments to meet water quality requirements, and that the capacity of the RWS can accommodate supplemental purified water flows at any given time.

The purpose of this project is to improve the performance of the Regional Groundwater wells and treatment systems in the South Westside Basin for reliable use during dry years. In normal and wet years, the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) will supply treated surface water to Daly City, San Bruno, and Cal Water to be used in place of their typical groundwater supply, thereby increasing the volume of groundwater in storage that can be pumped as supplemental water in dry years. This project will address emerging water quality issues that require treatment, provide additional reliability for treatment systems at the wells, and evaluate the potential for a consolidated treatment facility (through Alternatives Analysis only). If a centralized treatment alternative is selected, the estimated project cost could potentially be $250 million, which includes construction of approximately 14 miles of 8- to 24-inch diameter pipeline, a pump station, storage tanks, treatment facilities, and other ancillary facilities.
Justification
This project will build auxiliary water treatment facilities as well as other enhancements to increase the reliability and efficiency for maintenance and operation of the well stations. While an evaluation for providing centralized treatment is included in the project, the current budget only includes design and construction of facilities at individual well sites. If this project is delayed or not completed, water supply and regional delivery reliability may be impacted during a drought.
Water LOS Goal(s) Supported: Drinking water quality, regional delivery reliability, and water supply Operating Impact
Groundwater wells with water quality issues requiring additional treatment will not be able to provide service until construction of improvements is complete.

The San Francisco Water Division (SFWD) New Services Program budget line item funds all administrative and field resources necessary to deliver new and upgraded water services throughout the City of San Francisco. This includes SFWD administrative staff, field crews, and the Customer Service Bureau (CSB) staff who process applications for new service installations under the established flat-fee structure.
Under this program, customers submit applications to CSB for new or upgraded services based on their construction needs and approvals from San Francisco Department of Building Inspection (SFDBI). CSB reviews each application and assigns the appropriate flat-rate fee, which varies depending on the service size (ranging from 5/8 inch to 8 inches).
Once approved, SFWD is responsible for securing necessary permits from other City agencies and performing all field work, including excavation, installation, backfill, and temporary paving. Final paving and surface restoration are completed by SFWD’s as-needed paving contract, which is also funded through this program budget.
Overall, this budget supports the full lifecycle of service installation—from application processing to final restoration—to ensure timely and efficient delivery of water services citywide.
Justification
The New Service Program is essential to ensuring the timely delivery of new and upgraded water services and supporting reliable system access for customers. By fully funding the administrative, permitting, construction, and restoration activities required for New Service installations, the program maintains consistent service delivery and prevents workflow bottlenecks.
If this program is delayed or not fully funded, customers may face significant backlogs in service installations—including fire service connections, which create serious safety risks when a building is completed but lacks fire protection. Delays would also increase construction impacts and could result in unsafe or unmaintained work sites. Furthermore, postponement would jeopardize our ability to meet LOS commitments and could lead to higher long-term costs due to deferred restoration and contract inefficiencies.
Water LOS Goal(s) Supported: Responsiveness, System Reliability, and Customer Satisfaction Operating Impact
Without sufficient budget to support this work, SFWD staff will be unable to complete new service installations, directly preventing customers from receiving the water services required for building occupancy, fire protection, and operational use. Insufficient funding would force SFWD to divert resources away from core operational duties and other capital projects, creating service delays, increased workload pressures, and inefficiencies across multiple programs, including housing program. Ultimately, underfunding this work compromises LOS commitments, strains staffing capacity, and disrupts the overall reliability and responsiveness of SFWD operations.
Budget Change No Schedule Change Yes Scope Change No
Reason for Change
The variation in the project budget is due to inflationary pressures and significant increases in labor, construction, and material costs, which have raised the overall cost of delivering new service installations. Adjustments were also made to align with affordability targets while maintaining essential service levels. The variation in the schedule reflects the need to extend the project through the end of the 10-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) to distribute costs more effectively and ensure the program remains financially sustainable.

The Renewal Service Program is essential for managing and replacing linear assets within the potable water distribution system between transmission or storage facilities and final customer service connections in the City of San Francisco. This fund covers all administrative, permitting, construction, and restoration activities required for service renewals. The program also funds the repair or replacement of broken meter boxes, outdated or malfunctioning meters, associated piping, and all necessary sidewalk and roadway restoration.
When a water leak is reported through San Francisco Water Division (SFWD) Dispatch, crews are sent to investigate and repair the issue. In many cases, the condition of the existing service line, its age, or damage from a main break triggers the need for a full renewal to prevent recurring failures and maintain LOS standards.
Once a renewal is identified, SFWD is responsible for obtaining permits from relevant City agencies and completing all required field work, including excavation, installation, backfill, and temporary paving. Final paving and surface restoration are executed through SFWD’s as-needed paving contract, also funded by this program. This ensures that the system remains reliable, safe, and aligned with citywide service expectations.
Justification
The Renewal Service Program is necessary to maintain the safety, reliability, and performance of San Francisco’s potable water distribution system.
The program delivers value by proactively renewing vulnerable service pipelines, meter assemblies, and associated infrastructure before they escalate into larger failures. These renewals reduce emergency repair frequency, improve operational efficiency, minimize water loss, and extend the life of the distribution system. Additionally, by restoring sidewalks and roadways through coordinated paving, the program helps maintain public safety and reduces unnecessary rework.
If this program is delayed or not fully funded, the city faces significant risks, including increased water outages, repeated emergency leaks, accelerated infrastructure deterioration, and higher long-term repair costs. Delays also compromise LOS performance targets, strain field crew capacity, and create unsafe conditions in the public right-of-way due to unrepaired leaks, damaged meter boxes, or incomplete restorations. Ultimately, failure to complete these renewals undermines customer trust and poses avoidable risks to both the public and the water system.
Water LOS Goal(s) Supported: Water Quality, Delivery Reliabilty Operating Impact
Ongoing maintenance and renewal of existing water services are essential to sustaining reliable water delivery and ensuring the effective and efficient operation of the potable water distribution system. Without adequate funding for this work, SFWD would face increased emergency repairs, higher operational strain on field crews, and greater risk of service interruptions.

Beginning in Fiscal Year (FY) 22, the program began to further incorporate industry standards by modernizing the Geographic Information System (GIS) framework to the Utility Network, and integration with other enterprise business software. The GIS program will focus on (1) coordination with IT on enterprise GIS platform design and implementation needs for the San Francisco Water Division (SFWD); (2) migration of GIS data assets into the updated industry standard data model; (3) implementation of critical web and desktop solutions; (4) integration of enterprise business system; (5) digitization of all records, data optimization, and data modeling to move database schemas into industry-standard data models; and (6) training SFWD staff on the use of professional desktop and web tools.
Justification
SFWD is building an asset management system under the Linear Asset Management Program (LAMP). This long-term program will fund the management of the enterprise Geographic Information System (eGIS) as the hub and system of record for linear assets. SFWD's asset management system and eGIS platform are used in daily operations to analyze system water conveyance, locate facilities, manage preventive maintenance, respond to emergencies, and optimize field work through GIS data analysis. The GIS platform will be used for a wide array of applications that use innovative software, such as machine learning and pro-active leak detection software. SFWD's GIS applications will also include analysis of main breaks and leak information to assess the likelihood and consequence of pipe failures. The asset management system will also be crucial for hydraulic modeling and analysis. Other SFWD programs that will be determined by the GIS platform include the lead component program and integration efforts with Maximo and CC&B.
Water LOS Goal(s) Supported: Water Quality
Operating Impact
The lack of a long-term asset management program and GIS database will impact SFWD's daily operations by causing service disruptions to San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) customers, impacting response time to emergencies and fires, and causing liability problems if assets or facilities are improperly identified. Furthermore, GIS is currently funded by LAMP, and having outdated software can cause interruptions to the end users, impact the overall data maintenance processes, and delineate from industry standards. A delineation could result in significant unforeseen costs trying to achieve the most relevant technology. These costs will ultimately impact LAMP as well as the 15 miles of pipeline replacement goals.

To meet the timeframe and account for the limited resources, the SFPUC has designed and advertised WD-2889, "As-Needed Water Service Line Replacement Project". The Contract will allow CDD crews and plumbers to focus on service pipe replacement while the Contractor schedules construction activities, coordinates with stakeholders, obtains permits, performs excavation, backfill & pavement restoration, provides traffic control, and performs other construction and ancillary support work. The Contract is expected to replace approximately 1,300 user service lines by the end of 2026, well before the 2030 deadline. As of December 2022, WD-2889 has been awarded to JMB Construction Inc. for $26,663,850 and involves the following primary contractor duties. Permitting ; Earthwork ; Excavation, backfill, and street restoration ; Traffic Control ; Lead Whip Disposal. The program also encompasses other Federal and State requirements and includes the following work scope: Investigation of approximately 13,000 unknown services lines that are currently classified as unknown or galvanized material to confirm the actual constructed material types; Removal and replacement of all 2-inch and smaller galvanized service lines discovered during the repair of a service leak or when exposed during other planned or unplanned work ; All outreach and communication materials related to the program ; All water quality requirements including water pitcher and filter purchases and delivery to affected properties, continued communications with affected property owners and residents, water quality testing and monitoring, and other as-needed associated water quality activities.
Justification
In 2016, the California Legislature enacted SB-1398 "Public Water Systems: Lead User Service Lines"1 which compelled water agencies to inventory all service line materials and provide a replacement schedule for Lead User Service Lines (LUSL) and service lines with unknown material by July 1, 2030.
In 2021, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published the Lead and Copper Rule Revisions (LCRR), the first major update to the Lead and Copper Rule that was established in 1991. The LCRR requires service line inventory for both publicly and privately owned service lines, lead water quality sampling, water filter distribution and lead testing in schools. Therefore, the SFPUC City Distribution and Water Quality Divisions have developed the Lead Service Line Replacement (LSLR) Program to satisfy the State and Federal guidelines for the local water system (LWS), including preparing a water line service inventory, replacing water service lines affected by the regulations, and conducting water quality sampling.
Operating Impact
The lack of a dedicated funding source as well as a identified program may result in the State requiring CDD to replace all unknown services and galvanized services in an abbreviated timeframe of less than 10 years. This could result in State mandated requirements of renewing approximately 13,000 services, instead of a projected 1,400 services at a total cost of $231M, instead of $49M. This may result in very significant impacts over the next several years to the main replacement program, including reducing the number of miles that are planned, designed, and constructed.

In 2015, the California Senate adopted Senate Bill (SB) 555, which added language to the California Water Code requiring urban retail water suppliers to submit a completed standardized retail water loss audit for the previous fiscal year (FY) on October 1, 2017, and each year thereafter. The Water Loss Reduction Program has so far completed annual water audits; a procedure manual to help staff prepare annual water audits consistently; a request and approval for an updated Infrastructure Condition Factor appropriate for the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission’s (SFPUC) size and age; and field testing a significant sample size of the large meter (3-inch and larger) population, which will provide insight on current meter health. The program will continue to meet regulatory requirements, including completion of water quality and pressure management questionnaires, annual water audits, and enforcement of water loss standards. The program will also continue to make recommendations for improving existing staff practices to better document authorized water usage (e.g., 1-alarm firefighting, recording flushing durations). The Water Loss Reduction Program will focus on pressure management at pressure regulating valve locations and preventing missed revenue opportunities that may be due to a third of the total large meter population not performing according to industry accuracy standards. This large meter program within the Water Loss Reduction Program has the goal of reducing SFPUC's current apparent loss (estimated to be approximately $3 million missed revenue opportunity in the most recent FY23-24 water audit). This goal could be met by implementing meter field testing and repair, proactive meter maintenance, and/or field analytical equipment, which all would address apparent loss.
Justification
Based on the findings from over 400 water utilities' audits, the State Water Board published water loss performance standards for urban retail water suppliers in 2022, which included performance standards for apparent loss (due to data handling errors and erroneous meter readings) and real loss (due to leaks and main breaks).
Operating Impact
Since SFPUC began conducting the standardized water audit in 2014, it has documented a 10 percent increase in total water losses. For Fiscal Year (FY) 18, SFPUC reported water losses of 2,550 MG or 7,830 AF, which represents a potential retail revenue loss of $50M. Without improvements to its water loss reduction strategies, it is reasonable to estimate 10 percent or greater increases in water loss into the foreseeable future, and SFPUC will be at-risk for monetary penalties for non-compliance with State Board regulations.
Budget Change Yes Schedule Change Yes Scope Change Yes
Reason for Change
The variance in the scope is due to planning being added for proactive pressure management, including pilot testing. The variance in the project budget has been reduced to meet affordability targets. The variance in the schedule is due to the State Water Resources Control Board requiring water agencies to comply with water loss standards.

This project is a continuation of several tasks initiated to replaced obsolete and outdated water treatment assets in the San Francisco water distribution system. These assets include reservoir/tank mixers, sample boxes, sample stations, water quality analyzers, and chlorine stations (chemical piping, pumps, tanks and supporting utilities). This project also includes studies for circulation improvements, modernization of pump stations, chemical station improvements, and other water system improvements. In addition, the project will provide water quality improvements at Forest Hill Tanks and other sites, as needed. Short-term upgrades and rehabilitation and startup will be provided to smaller city chlorine stations (including Sutro, Stanford Heights, McLaren, and others) to eliminate the need to take reservoirs and tanks offline seasonally due to excessive storage, stagnation, and poor water quality. Other miscellaneous asset replacements as part of this project include testing new mobile chemical station for chloramine boosting, installing unleaded backflow devices, fire service retrofits for building, and contractor use, autoflushers and ot.her innovative technologies
Justification
This project will restore and update dilapidatThis project will restore and update dilapidated and unsafe distribution conveyance infrastructure, treatment facilities and equipment that is past their useful service life (chemical facilities, chemical tanks, injection pumps, piping, reservoir mixers, water quality analyzers, sample stations, etc). Several facilities within the distribution system have not been upgraded, including most major chlorine stations (Sunset, University Mound, Sutro, etc.), Old McLaren Pump Station, water quality analyzers and sampling stations in over 20 years. These infrastructure are critical for maintaining federal and state drinking water quality in compliance. Rehabilitatation and retrofitting San Franciscochlorine stations will eliminate the need to take reservoirs offline due to stagnation and loss of chlorine. Without these chlorine facilities, future projects such as potable emergency fire water systems and PEFWS pump stations water bagging, and groundwater wells could have limited functionality. Also facilities are critical for earthquake preparedness.
Operating Impact
No additional staff-hours expected for installing these asset replacements . . Safer work environment for staff, appropriate sized chemical stations may require less frequent chemical unloading. In-house planning, design and construction.
Budget Change Yes Schedule Change Yes Scope Change No
Reason for Change
The variance in the budget and schedule are due to this being an ongoing project with overall budget and schedule extended to match 10-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). Asset replacement and upgrades are expected to be completed in-house in-lieu of a separate chlorine station upgrades project. To accommodate these in-house facility upgrades, some of the budget was taken from the New Sunset Reservoir Treatment Facility project (10041692) and added to this project. An additional 2 year budget needs was added for ongoing asset management of water quality assets (treatment facilities, sample stations, water quality analyzers, etc.) and associated planning, design and construction.

The Main Replacement Program replaces and renews feeder and distribution mains for the 1,230 miles of pipe within San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) treated water distribution system within San Francisco city limits. Improvements include replacement, rehabilitation, relining, and cathodic protection of all pipe size categories to extend or renew pipeline useful life. Coordination with construction projects by other San Francisco City agencies, especially SFPUC Sewer and San Francisco Department of Public Works (DPW) Paving, is emphasized to optimize efficiencies and minimize customer disruptions. The proposed budget will include the following: (1) replacement of distribution pipelines at $6.6M per mile; (2) replacement of 1 mile of distribution pipelines with seismically reliable pipelines at $10.1M per mile; and (3) pipe relining at $5.2M per mile. The funding for Fiscal Year (FY) 26-27 and FY27-28 will provide for design and construction of 12 miles and 4 miles per year, respectively.
Justification
The Local Water Conveyance/Distribution System Program has an annual goal to replace or improve a target of 15 miles of water mains in San Francisco. This long-term program funds management of linear assets in the potable water distribution system between transmission or storage and final customer service connection. Due to the advanced age of the pipes (between 70 to 130 years), material, and history of repeated main breakswithin San Francisco city streets, the SFPUC has prioritized their replacement. Deffering this work would result in increased main breaks and associated service impacts and property damage.
Water LOS Goal(s) Supported: Delivery Reliability.
Operating Impact
Main breaks due to aging infrastructure cause service disruption and result in costly property damage and need for emergency repairs. Increasing the pipeline renewal rate will help prevent potential increased rate of main breaks, thus maintaining or slightly increasing operational costs to respond to main and service connection breaks. Service changeovers will result in temporarily loss of service for customers, which should only be a few hours.
Budget Change Yes Schedule Change Yes Scope Change No
Reason for Change
The variance is budget is due to a budget reduction to balance the priorities within the overall water enterprise CIP. The reduction in budget will result in a decrease in miles of pipe replaced which could result in a reduction in meeting the LOS goals.
The variance in schedule is due to this being an ongoing project with the overall schedule extended to match 10-year CIP.

The Emergency Firefighting Water System (EFWS), formerly known as Auxiliary Water Supply System (AWSS), includes several methods of delivering water to suppress fires during emergency situations. EFWS is vital for protecting against the loss of life, homes, and businesses from fire following an earthquake and from non-earthquake multiple-alarm fires. This project is a Water Enterprise contribution to the overall Potable Emergency Firefighting Water System (PEFWS) pipeline construction in the western side of the City. The scope of this projects is to install a new fire suppression water system that improves fire coverage for the Westside neighborhoods.
Justification
Upon full build out, the PEFWS will bring a seismically resilient high pressure firefighting water system to the western neighborhoods of San Francisco, while also creating a seismically resilient pipeline that can supply drinking water to the west side during non fire situations. The system will ultimately be capable of providing water to the San Francisco Fire Department (SFFD) firefighters at the high pressure needed to combat large fires after a seismic event.
Water LOS Goal(s) Supported: Drinking Water Quality, In-City Seismic Reliability, In-City Delivery Reliability.
Operating Impact
The operating impact is expected to be minimal since it will be managed as part of the overall transmission and distribution system.

This project includes asset and work management innovations, including design, development, and implementation of a San Francisco Water Division (SFWD) Asset Management Platform (AMP), Maximo Improvement Roadmap, Maximo-GIS interface, mobile workforce pilot project, New Service Customer Web Portal design and deployment, and improvements in materials management, including a barcode pilot project. The project moves SFWD from a reactive, paper-based way of performing work to a proactive and planned asset-based work management program giving field mapping tools to SFWD staff and with data presentation also provided to the San Francisco Fire Department for hydrant maintenance coordination work. The work was initiated under the New Services Connection Process Improvement Project (NSCPIP), which identified mobile Maximo and work management business process improvements as a key task to improve the customer experience with the New Service Application and Construction process. The Customer Portal has been designed and is preparing to enter the software Request for Proposal (RFP) phase for a third time in coordination with Department of Building Inspection’s permitting database implementation. The Maximo Roadmap was drafted in 2019 and a Pilot project for Hydrants was implemented in 2020. Additional budget will cover consulting services, project management, licensing, and software systems for additional technology improvements, such as inventory barcoding and GIS-Maximo interfacing, and funding to support SFWD’s asset management goals. In early 2026, the Water Enterprise (WE) aims to finalize a Strategic Asset Management Program (SAMP), outlining the goals of WE’s asset management portfolio. Implementation will involve standardizing asset classes and processes and building out the asset registries of the vertical assets owned and operated by the SFWD.
Justification
This project began in June 2016 under charter by two Assistant General Managers in response to continued customer complaints regarding the new water service application and installation process delays and poor customer communications as part of the NSCPIP. The mobile Maximo NSCPIP task is being piloted at SFWD using hydrant assets, with the remainder of this project budget dedicated toward a customer portal,asset and work management improvements, and SAMP implementation.
Operating Impact
The project provides data improvements and work records related to SFWD’s operating assets. It also provides the ability to track the status of all work requested using the enterprise asset management systems to minimize the loss of data or work requests and providing accountability and reporting regarding current staff responsible for work completion at each status step.

There are three phases of work associated with this project (Phase I, II, and III). Phase II has been completed and is not included as part of this project.
Lake Merced is an approximately 300-acre freshwater terminal lake located in the south west portion of San Francisco. The lake is a non-potable water source for the City of San Francisco to be used during emergencies. Under the Phase I improvements, the City of Daly , working in coordination with the San Francisco Public Utilities Comission (SFPUC), is proposing to implement the Vista Grande Drainage Basin Improvements project to address storm related flooding in the Vista Grande Watershed Drainage Basin while providing the benefit of restoring connection to the natural watershed of Lake Merced. The project would also divert approved stormwater flows form the canal into Lake Merced. The project scope for Phase I improvements would include the following: improvements within the Vista Grande Basin storm drain system upstream of the Vista Grande Canal; partial replacement of the existing Vista Grande Canal to incorporate a gross solid screening device, a constructed treatment wetland, a lake overflow structure, and diversion and discharge structures to route some stormwater (and authorized non-stormwater) flows from the Vista Grande Canal to Lake Merced; replacement of the existing Vista Grande Tunnel to expand its hydraulic capacity and extend its operating lifetime; replacement of the Lake Merced Portal to the tunnel; replacement of the existing ocean outlet structure at Fort Funston; traffic control of relocated roadway; and temporary relocation of SFPUC 16-inch water main.
Under Phase III, the project would divert highly treated recycled water from the new Westside Recycled Water facility into Lake Merced to increase and stabilize lake levels and improve water quality. The project scope for Phase III improvements include:
install up to 1,600 feet of 6- to 10-inch diameter pipe from the existing recycled water conveyance pipeline to divert water to Lake Merced; install appropriate pressure reducing valve to manage discharge pressure and volumes; install discharge structure in the north east portion of South Lake Merced; protection of utilities; traffic control during pipe installation; pavement restoration work; and potential need for site power.
Justification
The project would address historical flooding issues in the northern portion of Daly City and southwestern portion of San Francisco, which have potential to increase in frequency and severity due to climate change; re-establish historical basin hydrology; and provide a natural source of water to increase and maintain lake levels as well as recharge the underlying groundwater aquifer.
Operating Impact
Completing Phases I and III would allow the SFPUC to meet its goal of reliable emergency water supply, augment Lake Merced declining water levels, and recharge the underlying aquifer supporting local groundwater production.

The objectives of the San Francisco Westside Enhanced Water Recycling Project are to produce and deliver an annual average of approximately 1.6 million gallons per day (mgd) of recycled water for irrigation and other non-potable uses in the western area of the City. The initial set of customers to receive recycled water include Golden Gate Park and Lincoln Park Golf Course. Additional recycled water customers will be added to the system through separate projects that are currently included in this Captial Improvement Plan (CIP). The Westside project includes four subprojects. The construction of the first subproject, the Westside Recycled Water Pipeline (WD-2798), which involved the installation of almost 8 miles of recycled water transmission pipelines within City streets, was completed in 2018. The Westside Recycled Water Pump Station and Reservoir project (WD-2797) constructed a new 800,000 gallon reservoir and pump station in Golden Gate Park and was completed in 2024. The Westside Recycled Water Irrigation System Retrofits implemented the modifications to the irrigation systems in Golden Gate Park and Lincoln Park to bring them into compliance with regulations on the use of recycled water; this project was also completed in 2024. Contract WD-2776, Westside Recycled Water Treatment Facility, involves the construction of a new recycled water treatment facility within the SFPUC's Oceanside Plant. The new facility includes secondary effluent pumping, membrane filtration, reverse osmosis treatment, ultraviolet light
disinfection and a transmission pump station. In addition, new chemical storage and feed systems were constructed within the Oceanside Plant's existing chemical storage building.
Justification
The San Francisco Westside Recycled Water Project was originally part of the SFPUCs Water System Improvement Program (WSIP) and was specifically designed to meet the WSIP "water supply" level of service objective, which called for increasing water supply reliability and drought protection by developing alternative water supplies, including groundwater, recycled water for non-potable uses, and increasing conservation efforts. This project will provide an average of 1.6 million gallons per day of recycled water for irrigation on the westside of San Francisco, helping meet the water supply objective.
Operating Impact
A minimum operations and maintenance costs of $4.5M per year is anticipated to cover chemicals, staffing, power and other expendables.
Budget Change No Schedule Change Yes Scope Change Yes
Reason for Change
The variance in the schedule is due to longer construction duration to complete the treatment facility.

This project is broken up into two portions and the scope of work will include the following: Creek Crossing: Replace approximately 550 feet of 12 diameter pipeline crossing Arroyo de Laguna Creek with 12 diameter Ductile Iron Pipe (DIP) class 53;Open cut trench across the creek; New tie-in points with gate valves; Creek restoration and tree removal in pipeline alignment; Removal of existing Town of Sunol pipeline within the creek from bank to bank. Highway 680 Crossing: MOU agreement with Alameda County Transportation Commission (ACTC) to replace existing 12 diameter Town of Sunol pipeline under Highway 680 for $1.3M: Installation work completed in late 2022 and disinfection took place in early 2023, tie in to occur later this year in coordination with SFPUC plumbers.
Justification
Starting in 2000, the SFPUC has replaced the majority of the Town of Sunol pipeline system through the Town of Sunol Fire Suppression project. Only two segments of pipeline have not been replaced. This project will complete the replacement of the last two segments of the system by replacing the section of the pipeline that crosses the Arroyo de Laguna Creek (Creek Crossing) and the section that passes under Highway 680. The upstream section of pipeline that feeds both the potable line and the fire suppression line to the Town of Sunol is exposed at the Creek Crossing and in danger of failing where it passes under Highway 680. Pipeline failure at either location has significant consequences since all fire and potable water in the Town of Sunol is dependent on the continued functioning of this 12 line. This project will reduce the need for maintenance from pipe breaks and will also result in less main flushing, both of which are anticipated to lower operating expenses.
Operating Impact
Reduced maintenance from pipe breaks and less main flushing may lower operating expenses. All fire and potable water in the TOS is dependent on the rehabilitation of this 12" line.
Budget Change Yes Schedule Change Yes Scope Change No
Reason for Change
The variance in the schedule and budget are due to increased permitting requirements that delayed construction by one year due to seasonal environmental constraints.

This project will transform the Customer Service experience at the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC). It will modernize technology and optimize business processes to align with current and future Customer Service needs and bring increased operational effectiveness. The project has 3 main components: (1) migrating to a modern, flexible, cloud-based contact center solution; (2) migrating from the legacy "My Account" platform to a new digital self-service and customer engagement platform; and (3) migrating from the on-premises legacy Customer Information System (CIS), Oracle "Customer Care & Billing" (CC&B), to Oracle's replacement CIS solution, Oracle "Customer Cloud Service" (CCS) and Oracle Field Service (OFS). These are all significant changes across our Customer Service and IT infrastructure. The current systems are all between 8 and 20 years old. A lack of modern, flexible technology is making it impossible to improve Customer Service business processes, and restricts how customers access their data. This project will increase customer satisfaction, reduce frustration and improve SFPUC staff’s experience.
Schedule change due to data entry error.
Justification
The Customer Services Bureau (CSB) is responsible for the billing and collection of utility services and is the primary point of contact for water and wastewater customers. The CSB maintains over 176,000 water and wastewater service accounts, over 3,852 municipal and retail electric service accounts, and approximately 500 land-lease accounts totaling over $1 billion in annual revenue. The Bureau is also responsible for meter reading and field investigations, as well as responding to over 200,000 customer inquiries, complaints, and requests for services annually. The call center telephony and supporting applications are around 20 years old. Not completing this project puts SFPUC at risk because it will fall further behind in its technology and what customers expect from a modern utility. Customer's now demand modern access (txt, mobile, chat etc) to their billing and usage information, and this project will improve the customer experience, engagement and overall satisfaction. Not completing this work will increase customer frustrations, making it challenging to retain staff, and could impact our ability to collect revenue in a timely manner.
Water LOS Goal(s) Supported: Cost-effectiveness
Operating Impact
The current systems are all between 8 and 20 years old. A lack of modern, flexible technology is making it impossible to improve Customer Service business process and restricts how customers access their data. This project will increase customer satisfaction, reduce frustration and improve the experience of our staff. Two additional dedicated team members are required to support ongoing operations and three staff are required to support the project, with potential for extension. Ongoing product and maintenance support costs will transition to ITS and CSB Operating Budgets, appropriately. No other significant impact to daily operations or customer service are expected.

This project funds the planning, design, and installation of the Lenel security system and Milestone camera system to the local water facilities in the City and County of San Francisco that were not addressed during the Water System Improvement Program (WSIP) and upgrade facilities that were included to meet current water security standards. This will include not only access control and video monitoring but, also physical security such as fencing, lighting, and building access.
Justification
The Lenel security system and Milestone camera system, that were deployed during the later stages of the Water System Improvement Project (WSIP), were not implemented in a significant number of local water facilities, leaving security gaps.
Water LOS Goal(s) Supported: Sustainability
Operating Impact
Completion of the Lenel security system and Milestone cameria system to all local water facilities will allow the division to control access to remote sites and provide real time information on employee access. Video will provide real time assessment and after incident documentation of attempts and breaches of security and allow personnel to coordinate an appropriate response.

The Local Water Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system provides mission-critical automation, monitoring, and control of the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission’s (SFPUC) Local Water System Operations. Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) are critical components of the SCADA system that enable local process automation and remote monitoring and control. This program will upgrade about 50 SCADA system PLCs and associated components that are or will be discontinued and no longer supported by manufacturers. Program funding is spread across 10 years (2024–2033) to accommodate the end of manufacturer support while recognizing the limitations on concurrent operational outages to critical facilities. A prioritized list is available that provides the site locations but is not published here for security reasons. Engineering Management Bureau (EMB) and Department of Public Works (DPW), with ITS/SCADA Group support, will develop a contract to utilize a System Integrator with expertise in Control Systems for the local SCADA PLC upgrades. Work performed will include design, development, programming, and construction. EMB, DPW, and the System Integrator will develop the basic design for the upgrades and modify as needed based on specific site conditions.
Justification
he existing PLCs do not support the current industry security standards and will be replaced with PLCs that comply with the latest regulatory and industry security standards. In addition, the associated programming and configuration software runs on older versions of the Windows Operating System that are no longer supported by Microsoft (and SFPUC) and, therefore, expose the Water SCADA system to increased security risk.
Water LOS Goal(s) Supported: Sustainability/Effective Asset Management Operating Impact
With the implementation of the project, operations should become more efficient as a result of these improvements. Day-to-day and emergency staffing needs may decrease due to remote response capabilities. Response speed and effectiveness may increase. Monitoring capabilities may help optimize pumping and reduce energy costs. This project will also provide increased reliability and functionality of SCADA systems and enhance the security of the SCADA networks.

Description
This project provides funding to install City of San Francisco owned and operated fiber optic cabling and other communications systems to critical water facilities. The large bandwidth required by today's systems requires a fast and dependable communications pathway. City fiber rings San Francisco and provides a reliable system to transmit data from field facilities to primary operations centers, which include 525 Golden Gate, 1990 Newcomb Avenue, 900 Lake Merced Boulevard, and 1011 Turk Street (Department of Emergency Management). Data that can be transferred over the fiber network include Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA), cameras, security systems, and the business network. This project will increase operational capabilities, reliability and levels of service.
Justification
Current communications options do not provide sufficient bandwidth for current data needs and are susceptible to failure during a catastrophic event.
While portions of the fiber may also fail during a catastrophe, there are always two paths for the fiber to transmit data due to its ring style construction, providing inherent redundancy. Current communications options that provide adequate bandwidth are costly, making the installation of City owned fiber optic cabling cost effective over the life of the installation.
Water LOS Goal(s) Supported: In-City Seismic Reliability Operating Impact
Existing funding should be sufficient to meet the projects needs over the next two year budget cycle. Improved reliability and efficiencies to be achieved through higher bandwidth and network availability.

Latest DSOD letter does not require further action, and project will not be part of this CIP.
Summit Reservoir: Additional investigation to verify the conclusions of a 2017 seismic engineering evaluation should be conducted, including subsurface investigations, installation of piezometers, and laboratory testing of retrieved samples because of the limited subsurface materials and conditions information, particularly in the area of the embankment fill where the original inlet-outlet conduit was constructed. Planning for this project will begin in FY 25 to determine the scope of seismic improvements required and additional project funding will be requested in a future budget cycle.
Justification
This project provides funding to implement recommendations from AECOM's Report, "Structural and Seismic Performance Review for DSOD Jurisdictional Reservoirs", dated August 7, 2018. The report includes seismic rehabilitation recommendations for four reservoirs under DSOD jurisdiction, including Sunset South Basin, UMound South Basin, Stanford Heights, and Summit Reservoir. The funding will support additional investigation and/or risk remediation measures, including an assessment of the seismic risk level for the reservoir's embankments as well as structural elements including the reservoir roof, divider walls, liners, gate towers, inlet outlet conduit, and other ancillary features.
Operating Impact
Replacement and repair work may cause a short duration outage of the reservoir; however, impact should be minimal based upon operational work-arounds. However, if the reservoir embankment or structures fail, it would result in a significant impact to Operations to reliably supply water to the distribution zones.

Stanford Heights Reservoir: Due to the age of the previous 1993 analysis performed on the reservoir, an updated seismic stability and deformation analysis check of the embankment is recommended. Based on the stability analysis investigation, further design may be necessary. Planning for this project will begin in FY 26.
Justification
This project provides funding to implement recommendations from AECOM's Report, "Structural and Seismic Performance Review for DSOD Jurisdictional Reservoirs", dated August 7, 2018. The report includes seismic rehabilitation recommendations for four reservoirs under DSOD jurisdiction, including Sunset South Basin, UMound South Basin, Stanford Heights, and Summit Reservoir. The funding will support additional investigation and/or risk remediation measures, including an assessment of the seismic risk level for the reservoir's embankments as well as structural elements including the reservoir roof, divider walls, liners, gate towers, inlet outlet conduit, and other ancillary features.
Operating Impact
Replacement and repair work may cause a short duration outage of the reservoir; however, impact should be minimal based upon operational work-arounds. However, if the reservoir embankment or structures fail, it would result in a significant impact to Operations to reliably supply water to the distribution zones.

This project provides the Renewal and Replacement (R&R) funding necessary to maintain and replace the coatings of the potable water reservoirs and tanks managed by San Francisco Water Division (SFWD) in San Francisco to extend the useful life of these crtical assets. This project will fund reapplication of the existing waterproof coatings at the north basin of the University Mound Reservoir and the Sutro Reservoir to extend the roof warranties another 20 years to more closely align with the design-life of SFPUC CleanPowerSF program's upcoming solar photovoltaic (PV) system installation on these reservoirs. Previously, construction for the University Mound Reservoir north basin coating was anticipated to commence early FY24. Construction is now scheduled to commence early FY27. Construction for the Sutro Reservoir roof coating was planned for FY25. Construction is now planned for FY27. This project will prioritize replacement of the coating at La Grande Tank. Construction is anticipated to commence late FY27.
Most of the other storage facilities were completed around the same period and need to be recoated to protect the structural integrity of these facilities.
Justification
SFWD tanks and reservoirs that were upgraded during the Water System Improvement Project (WSIP) are currently, or in the very near future will be, in need of replacement of their exterior coatings and/or roofing. The useful service life of most of these coatings is approximately 10 years and many have begun to deteriorate in the last few years due to the harsh marine environment to which they are exposed.
Water LOS Goal(s) Supported: Delivery Reliability
Operating Impact
Replacement of exterior and roof coatings will substantially increase the useful service life of the potable and auxiliary water supply systems storage facilities in San Francisco. There are no impacts on day-to-day operations planned during implementation of this project.

Geotechnical Improvements
Facility Category: Water Supply and Storage Program
Project Manager: Jon Cantu Current Active Phase: Pre-Construction Prior Approved Budget: $ 6,635,419 Proposed Budget: $ 6,635,419 Prior Approved Start: 06/30/2021 Proposed Start: 06/30/2021 Prior Approved Finish: 06/30/2028 Proposed Finish: 06/30/2028 Description
Constructed in 1860, Lombard Reservoir is San Francisco’s oldest active reservoir and has continued to provide clean, safe, and reliable drinking water to lower Russian Hill and areas of North Beach and China town for over 165 years. Nestled between Lombard and Greenwich Streets to the north and south, and Hyde and Larkin Streets to the east and west, the Lombard Reservoir overlooks the world‑famous crooked portion of Lombard Street.
Portions of the northeastern slope at the Lombard Reservoir located at the intersection of Lombard and Hyde Streets experienced a slope failure in 2011 and two slope failures in 2016. The slope is about 40 feet high and inclines downward toward the north side with an approximate inclination of
1.5H:1V. Several large trees, utilities, and a concrete conduit box exist within the project limits. A 3-foot high concrete retaining wall exists at the toe of the slope along Lombard Street. The City installed a wooden fence on top of the retaining wall following the last slope failures as a temporary safety measure.
This project involves the design and construction of approximately 15,000 square feet of geotechnical improvements to stabilize the northeast slope of Lombard Reservoir and prevent future slope failures that could cause property damage or injury. Specifically, the work will address the slope along the south side of Lombard Street, from its intersection with Hyde Street extending about 200 feet west, and the slope along the west side of Hyde Street, from its intersection with Lombard Street extending about 100 feet south.
Justification
Project Justification (for Unifier): Failure to mitigate the slopes stability could lead to premature failure of the slope during major rain events due to soil saturation.
Water LOS Goal(s) Supported: Delivery Reliablity
Operating Impact
If slope instability is not addressed, a slope failure could occur, directly causing property damage or injury and potentially leading to reservoir inlet piping failure. There are no impacts to day-to-day operations planned during implementation of this project.

The Sunset Reservoir chlorine building contains a housing (25-feet x 20-feet) for three (3) 1,000 gallon sodium hypochlorite tanks, chemical injection pumps, piping, sample station, electrical/SCADA, analyzers, and telemetry. It is relied upon to maintain disinfectant residuals for the Sunset pressure zone serving approximately 43 percent of the city’s customers. It also has an annex storing caustic soda for pH adjustment of the city’s groundwater blend. The housing is antiquated and undersized, presents worker safety risk as well as corrosive environment that may lead to premature failure of equipment. This project will renovate the and enlarge and modernize the facility for safety, reliabilty and ensure its operability. Recent use of facility funds were used to rehabilite the existing equipment, add new chemical injection pumps, piping and other mechanical equipment to initiate the facility in November 2024. SFPUC has previously operated by isolating half of Sunset Reservoir, 90MG of storage, to maintain fresh water deliveries and comply with regulations. This project will ensure operations of full emergencystorage, and support future projects, including potable emergency fire water system, pump stations, water bagging, and groundwater treatment, as well as ensuring storage availability for earthquakes, and emergency storage.
Justification
This project has a high importance rating and will enlarge the brick and mortar facility that will serve over 40 percent of San Francisco’s retail customers. Facilities have not been updated since prior to chloramine conversion, which requires a different operating strategy to maintain chloramine residuals. This project will restore functionality, improve reliability, comply with future regulations, and add safety improvements.
Operating Impact
Additional staff-hours expected to provide stakeholder review of project plans, designs and support construction. No additional staff hours upon completion and initiation of the new facility. Safer work environment for staff, appropriate sized chemical stations may require less frequent chemical unloading.
Budget Change Yes Schedule Change Yes Scope Change No
Reason for Change
The variance in budget is due to funds being removed from the budget of this project and added to the Water Quality Distribution Improvements project (10036919). The variance in the schedule is based on the Water Quality Division (WQD ) projections to limit scope to rehabilitate the existing facility rather than site an entirely new facility and planning meetings with Program Management Bureau (PMB), Engineering Management Bureau (EMB), San Francisco Water Division (SFWD) and WQD.

This project will provide funding to complete the Automated Water Meter Program (AWMP) and for replacement planning and construction of the AWMP system Phase 2 by the end of Phase 1 useful life. The AWMP project installed telemetry on all water meters within the City and County of San Francisco to provide remote reading of customers water consumption. A separate project will be initiated for the replacement, titled AMI Refresh (Automated Mater Infrastructure Refresh). This project will involve replacement of the water meters battery powered telemetry unit and provide another 20 years of functionality.
Justification
Failure to replace the existing telemetry units will lead to their eventual failure. The resulting inability to remotely read the water meters and to bill customers will require that personnel manually read the water meters consumption and require additional staff.

The Automated Water Meter Program (AWMP) implementation began in 2010 and has a 20-year life expectancy, including the water meter. This program involved the installation of new water meters and telemetry which provided hourly consumption data remotely. The system provides hourly consumption every 4 hours, eliminating the need for meter readers and allowing for monthly billing to consumers. The hourly reads also provide a means to determine if the customer has a leak as the consumption during off hours will never reach 0 if there is constant use. Renewal rates are currently at about 3 percent annually, and that is expected to increase as the system ages. This project will provide funding for meters and associated meter components (excluding meter transmission units) for all new and renew water services in San Francisco.
Justification
Water meter renewal is critical to maintain meter accuracy and prevent bill estimations. Insufficient project funding may result in the following impacts: (1) inaccurate billing due to estimations based on previous water use patterns, which can result in loss of revenue; (2) inability to view hourly water consumption usage on the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission’s (SFPUC) MyAccount web portal and to receive leak notifications from our I-info system for early detection of leaks on the customer side of the meter; and (3) not having water meter data for a portion of customers also reduces SFPUC's ability to achieve certain water conservation and customer service objectives.
Water LOS Goal(s) Supported: Water Supply and Sustainability Operating Impact
Failure to maintain the water meters will lead to inaccurate billing, inability to bill, and loss of revenue.

There are approximately 1,200 large (3-inch to 10-inch) water meters in San Francisco. The accuracy of these meters directly affects not only local water ratepayers but also the funding of the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) Local Water Enterprise. This project will provide funding for Large Meter Renewals over an ongoing 4-year rotation to maintain meter accuracy. The Large Meter Renewal of each water meter consists of replacement of the Unit Measuring Element (UME) which is comprised of the entire rotating assembly and the register that indicates the volume of water used. The crossover valve in the water meter body will be replaced as needed after inspection.
Justification
The local water division will continue to staff and fund the replacement of the Unit Measuring Elements (UME) of these large meters over an ongoing 4-year period. Water meters will lose accuracy and slow as they age resulting in underreporting water usage and reducing revenue. Replacing the UME maintains the accuracy and dependability of the water meter and meets the levels of service goal of Sustainability/Effective Asset Management.
Failure to fund this program will result in lost revenue to the SFPUC Local Water Enterprise and inaccurate customer billing for the large water meter population in San Francisco.
Water LOS Goal(s) Supported: Sustainability/Effective Asset Management Operating Impact
This project will have no significant impact or cost on the operating budget.

This project will fund the procurement of backflow preventers for the newly acquired hydrant meters with automated meter reading capabilities for temporary water use throughout the City and County of San Francisco.
This project previously funded new hydrant meters to replace the existing inventory with meters that will report their usage directly to the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) to allow for monthly billing and reduce the labor required to manually read these meters.
Justification
Newly acquired hydrant meters need backflow preventers to provide water quality protection in case of a back siphonage condition (where downstream customer pressure is greater than upstream water system pressure. Failure to implement the backflow project will violate our agreement with the state water quality control board.
Water LOS Goal(s) Supported: Drinking Water Quality
Operating Impact
Water quality impacts on the water system may require additional flushing or in worst case scenarios, shut down of specific pipe segments, affecting water service to customers. Two additional employees are budgeted to manage and maintain this equipment.

The Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) system is a communications network that provides frequent water usage data to improve billing, leak detection and water resource management. The system includes meter transmission units (MTU) at over 180,000 retail customer meters across the City of San Francisco, close to 200 data collector units (DCU) and software-as-a-system to manage the meter data. The original AMI implementation began in 2010 and has a 20-year life expectancy. This project will provide funding to replace roughly 50,000 (MTUs in the AMI system with new units.
The project will target the oldest MTUs for replacement in the next 3 years. It will also fund ongoing annual replacements as the organization shifts to a continuous renewal model.
Justification
AMI implementation began in 2010 and has a 20-year life expectancy. Renewal rates are increasing, currently at 8 percent annually compared to 3 percent in the early years of operation. That rate is expected to increase as the system ages and eventually is out of warranty and end-of-useful life in 2030. This project supports the Effective Asset Management LOS goal by ensuring water meter data transmission for fair and timely billing of retail water customers. It also supports the In-City Delivery Reliability goals by providing the water meter data needed to assess whether customers are receiving water deliveries and the Water Supply and Community Support goals by providing automated leak alerts to customers. Failure to replace the MTUs will result in the loss of automated water consumption reads and subsequent inability to bill water customers on a timely basis. Water LOS Goal(s) Supported:
Effective Asset Management,
Water Supply,
In-City Delivery Reliability,
Community Support
Operating Impact
Failure to replace the MTUs will result in the loss of automated water consumption reads and subsequent inability to bill water customers on a timely basis, with potential impacts on revenue collection such as an increase in estimated bills, inaccurate bills and billing adjustments.
Budget Change Yes Schedule Change Yes Scope Change Yes
Reason for Change
The variation in scope is due to the project previously assuming a replacement of the existing system with an entirely new system, along with full meter replacement. The current scope assumes a "refresh" of the existing system. The variation in budget is due to the budget being reduced to meet affordability targets. The variation in schedule is due to an accelerated schedule to prioritize the oldest MTUs before they reach the end of their useful life.

Description
There are approximately 1,238 water service locations in San Francisco that are manifolded with multiple water meters (as many as eight in one location) for a total of approximately 3,264 water meters in the water system, originally intended to capture a range of flows from low to high. This project will provide funding to convert each manifolded service with multiple water meters into one large water meter service that would be technologically capable of registering a wide range of flows from low to high.
The project will be very similar in scope, such as excavation, plumbing, and repaving, to the existing WD-2889 As Needed Water Service Line Replacements contract (already at capacity) currently used by the Lead Component Services Program. The additional scope of work would include extra plumbing and coordination of meter procurement through the San Francisco Water Division Meter Shop. A similar contract can be prepared more readily provided the available existing reference contract.
Justification
A majority of current water meter used for manifolded services are rated for flows from 2 to 160 gallons per minute (gpm). The conversion of manifolded service with multiple water meters into one large meter (rated for flows from 0.5 to 2,000 gpm) will capture water use at lower flows, which will contribute in improving both apparent and real losses towards meeting regulatory requirements. Changes in customer bills have been observed for past manifold conversions, ranging from 10 to 50 percent with an average of 21 percent. As manifold services get coverted into one single large meter service, these observed results will improve and be more representative of the overall population.
Operating Impact
If these water services locations are not converted into one water meter from manifolded meters, the primary operating impact will be the reduced accuracy of bills due to degradation of metering accuracy over time, typically resulting in reduced revenues.
Budget Change Yes Schedule Change No Scope Change No

on Fire Services and Hydrants
Facility Category: Water Infrastructure
Project Manager: Kenneth Payne Current Active Phase: Not Started Prior Approved Budget: $ 0 Proposed Budget: $ 35,306,250 Prior Approved Start: Proposed Start: 03/01/2026
Prior Approved Finish: Proposed Finish: 06/30/2044
Description
State regulations (Cross-Connection Control Policy Handbook) that went into effect on July 1, 2024, require public water suppliers to ensure that all dedicated fire services are protected with backflow prevention assemblies by June 30, 2034. The San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) requested, and was granted, a 10-year extension to June 30, 2044. An estimated 4,237 fire services owned by San Francisco Water Division (SFWD) only have swing-check valves. In addition, the SFPUC Cross Connection Control Policy Handbook requires backflow prevention assemblies on hydrants used by contractors and other temporary services.
This project will remove about 4,237 swing-check valves on fire services and install spool pieces in their place. SFWD must coordinate removals with customer installation of backflow prevention assemblies on the customer side of the water meter. This project will also acquire 300 backflow prevention assemblies for fire hydrant protection.
Justification
The project is required to comply with state regulations that became effective in 2024. The project will increase protection against backflow of non-potable water from customer premises into the public water system, increasing the safety of San Francisco’s drinking water. If the project is delayed or not completed, SFPUC will be out of compliance with state regulatory requirements, and San Francisco’s drinking water will be at higher risk of contamination or pollution from customer premises.
Operating Impact
-None.

The majority of the San Francisco Water Division (SFWD) staff, approximately 330 people, are located at the Newcomb Yard facility. Three primary buildings (Administration Building, Shops Building, and Warehouse) were constructed in 1962, and over time, several other small buildings have been erected around the 300,000 square foot site. In 2017 a Condition Assessment was performed and found all buildings to be aged, water-damaged and deficient in meeting San Francisco building codes. The maintenance and tenant improvements for this project include repairing the roof of the Administration Building, renovating several existing workstations and office suites to meet American with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessibility requirements, and installing new data and voice wiring for renovated workstations and public display/notification boards. Much of this project work has been completed as of June 30, 2023. New project work has been identified to assist with the planning and implementation of the physical relocation of the corporation yard to 2000 Marin Street, this work includes: SFWD Records Management (transition to digital records for improved work efficiencies and to minimize future physical storage needs); SFWD Soils and Spoils Management (this program will not be relocating to the new corporation yard and renovated facilities are needed at Newcomb Avenue to improve work efficiencies and minimize their footprint); and The Physical Move (the development and implementation of a Relocation Plan to ensure no disruption to SFWD's ability to provide 24/7 operation and emergency response).
Justification
The new corporation yard is estimated to be move-in ready by 2028. During the next five years, CDD needs to (1) perform minor tenant improvements to maintain its facilities at Newcomb Yard to meet health and safety requirements and (2) prepare for the physical relocation of staff and programs to the new corporation yard. Without interim improvements, the facilities at Newcomb Yard will continue to deteriorate, require excess building maintenance, and negatively impact SFWD performing its core responsibilities and functions. Following a city-wide emergency, the communication and mechanical systems at Newcomb Yard SFWD may be significantly compromised resulting in SFWD's inability to perform its duties as a coordination center for water system repair and operation.
Water LOS Goal(s) Supported: Sustainability
Operating Impact
Minor disruptions to daily activities during construction.

This program will fund an Urban Forestry Facility that will be built in San Francisco and allow a centralized systematic program to maintain its vegetation management efforts under one roof. The majority of the Natural Resources and Land Management acreage (650 acres) throughout San Francisco needs corrective tree work performed to sustain a healthy ecosystem. In addition to the San Francisco Water Division's (SFWD) responsibilities of all water storage facilitys, the California Division of Dam Safety is creating new regulations for earthen dams located throughout the city. These new regulations may require the removal of existing mature trees to meet the new guidelines. With the ongoing drought and global warming changing our historical climate, existing vegetation acclimated to current weather patterns is increasingly changing and creating stresses on forest areas that do and will need continued maintenance efforts.
Justification
The current age of the urban forest that falls under the maintenance responsibility of the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) is at its urban life expectancy. Additionally, with climate change and the stresses of drought, the urban forests are struggling and in decline. Interdepartmental work orders that helped SFPUC manage dead and dying trees on its properties have not been available for several years, which has led the department to create its own Urban Forest Department to help manage its vegetation.
Operating Impact
This new San Francisco facility will allow efficient and effective supervision of Urban Forestry Division staff and allow different trade crafts to assemble and plan for managing and maintaining the urban forest. In addition, a centrally located Urban Forestry Maintenance Facility will enable Natural Resources and Lands Management (NRLM) to respond quickly to emergencies with the suburban and urban forest.
Budget Change Yes Schedule Change Yes Scope Change No
Reason for Change
The variance in the budget is due to the project funding being deferred for the 2022 and 2023 budget cycles. This is due, in part, to budget shortfalls in the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). The variance in the schedule is due to the project schedule being delayed for 24 months.

The San Francisco Water Division (SFWD) oversees the retail water distribution system within the City and County of San Francisco and is responsible for the physical infrastructure of San Francisco's potable water supply, auxiliary water supply, and ground water systems. SFWD's responsibilities include 24/7 emergency response to water main breaks and two-alarm or larger fires. SFWD is also responsible for day-to-day operations and maintenance of over 1,250 miles of water mains, 12 reservoirs, 9 pump stations, 7 hydro-pneumatic stations, 6 tanks, the water meter program serving over 176,000 customers, and maintenance of SFWD's physical plant, equipment and fleet, and over 1,100 acres of grounds throughout the City. The buildings and facilities at the existing SFWD campus are functionally obsolete, in disrepair, not in compliance with current building codes, and do not meet standards for safety, accessibility, or environmental requirements. This project will replace the existing campus of buildings and facilities in its entirety with the construction of a new campus at 2000 Marin. The scope of work includes the following: Administration Building; Warehouse; Autoshop; Machine and Fabrication Shop; Fleet and Employee Parking Structure; Fueling Station; PV system; and Landscaping.
Justification
The campus requires full replacement. New buildings will provide greater reliability, safety, and security as well as higher productivity.
Water LOS Goal(s) Supported: In-City Seismic Reliability and In-City Delivery Reliability.
Operating Impact
Given the current condition of the facilities, there is a high probability that the facilities designated to deploy and coordinate Emergency Response personnel, equipment, and resources to restore the water distribution system will not be able to respond because they will have sustained significant damage. There is no backup facility that could provide even limited service as a Coordination Center, and the City may be required to call upon mutual aid from state and local agencies.
During construciton of the new headquarters, the operation of the existing SFWD facilities will not be impacted. SFWD will be able to maintain their operational tasks. Upon the completion of the project, the opeartion will be more efficient due to reduction in unscheduled equipment maintenance and adequate workspaces to perform tasks at central location.
Budget Change Yes Schedule Change Yes Scope Change No
Reason for Change
There are no changes in scope. There are nominal changes to the schedule for individual phases, but there is no substantive change to final completion of construction and closeout. There is a change to the budget due to new project soft costs and increased construction costs.

This project funds the initial assessment of the pump station and the pipeline on the San Francisco Bay Bridge linking the pump station to Yerba Buena and Treasure Islands.
Justification
The final build out of the Treasure Island development will result in an island population of approximately 20,000. Reliable operation of the pump station and transmission main is critical to maintain adequate levels of service to the island. Increased pump station capacity will increase available supply to the island in the event of a large fire or island main break. Failure to evaluate and subsequently increase pump station and transmission main capacity and reliability could result in questionable levels of service and available capacity to meet the islands demand should a breakdown occur at the pump station or on the transmission main.
Water LOS Goal(s) Supported: Seismic and Delivery Reliability Operating Impact
The pump station and pipeline are operated daily to refill potable water tanks on Yerba Buena Island for the residents on Treasure and Yerba Buena Islands as well as emergency fire hydrants on the Bay Bridge. Because this project would upgrade existing facilities, there should be no change to operations.
Budget Change Yes Schedule Change Yes Scope Change Yes
Reason for Change
The variance in scope, schedule and budget are due to the addition of estimated construction schedule and cost for pump station and pipeline improvements.

: The Harding Park Pump Station, originally commissioned in 2012, is located on Lake Merced Boulevard in San Francisco. This facility includes a pump station and a 700,000-gallon buried recycled water reservoir. This facility delivers recycled water produced by the Northcoast County Sanitation District for the irrigation of the Harding Park Golf Course. The project has completed planning and design and will be starting construction in FY26-27.
The project includes the following: (1) replacing the existing power circuit with a dedicated variable frequency drive (VFD) for each of the three pumps; (2) relocating electrical equipmentoutside the existing pump station (3) replacing the Watertronics Modicon 340 Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) with a San Francisco Public Utilities Commision (SFPUC) standard PLC; (4) constructing a new, conditioned, concrete masonry unit (CMU) building to house the relocated equipment; (5) sealing all penetrations on the existing pump skid; (6) installing moisture separators within the pump station louvers; (7) updating the security system to the latest SFPUC security standards; and (8) replacing the existing reservoir access ladder to with a new stainless steel ladder that includes a mid-level landing in compliance with the latest safety standards.
Justification
In 2016, the pump station was taken out of service because the electrical terminations in the pump station control panel had corroded, resulting in an arc
flash event that damaged the main switch and made the pump station inoperable. A September 2016 memo by Carollo Engineers (the designers of record), and a subsequent January 2017 memo by SFPUC EMB, both evaluated the problem and confirmed that the cause of the corrosion was excessive moisture drawn from the reservoir through openings in the cabinet. Temporary solutions were proposed and implemented, including the sealing of openings with silicone. The Harding Park Pump Station Project was included in the 2020 Water Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) to provide a permanent solution to the moisture issue, and to address other concerns noted in field visits and through discussions with the San Franciso Water Department (SFWD), including the need to improve reliability of the electrical system, lack of code-compliant equipment clearance, other safety improvements and need for replacement of the proprietary Watertronics PLC system.
Operating Impact
Failure to perform the needed improvements will lead to premature and costly failures within the facility and hazardous conditions when performing maintenance. Operation of Harding Park Golf Course and the delivery of recycled water from Daly City will be impacted.

The Lake Merced Pump Station (LMPS) pumps potable water and is located adjacent to Lake Merced in the City and County of San Francisco.
Following the completion of the Water System Improvement Program (WSIP) project at the LMPS, it was discovered that the underground diesel fuel tanks that had been removed under the project had been leaking petroleum contaminants into the surrounding soil. This project funds the ongoing monitoring and removal of petroleum contamination in the subsoil adjacent to the previously removed underground diesel fuel tanks to meet regulatory requirements.
Justification
This project was created to remove and monitor the contamination at the site. The initial project was created under the Level 1 Authority 19067 UW Pump Station Improvements. Failure to remove the contamination will violate state laws and regulations.
Water LOS Goal(s) Supported: Environmental Stewardship
Operating Impact
Project provides compliance with regulatory requirements.
Budget Change Yes Schedule Change Yes Scope Change Yes
Reason for Change
The variance in the scope is due to the need to meet regulatory requirements for the timely removal of the contaminants. The variance in the budget is due to the increased cost for the expedited removal of the contaminants. The variance in the schedule is due to the expedited timeline.

This project will renovate and restore Old McLaren Pump Station (1967) to operability. The pump station is located at Bowdoin and Woolsey Streets in San Francisco and pumps water from the CS2 Transmission line to McLaren Park Tanks (8MG), which are located in the middle of San Francisco’s McLaren Park. It continues to have electrical issues and has not been renovated during the most recent 25 years of bond and CIP funding. In addition, this project will evaluate potential water system improvements to enlarge service area to the west including portions of Sutro, LaGrande, and Crocker Amazon, which receive older, stale water from successive pumping and reservoirs on the western side of the city. These recirculation improvements will provide fresh water directly from SFPUC regional transmission lines (via McLaren Tanks), while also adding redundancy for the enlarged service area. Further environmental planning, project management, design, and construction work will be completed by San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) staff. Coordination with San Francisco Recreation and Parks will also be needed. SFPUC Water Quality Division has already completed needs assessment and looked at modeling alternatives. However additional planning is needed to refine a preferred modeling alternative, including new pipeline and connection to the proposed enlarged service area. Continued planning and design will require dedicated project manager.
Justification
This project will restore an existing asset (Old McLaren Pump Station) to operability, provide reliablity and redundancy for serving high quality water deliveries to customers in the southern portion of the city (including portions of Sutro, LaGrande and Crocker Amazone pressure zones).These southern neighborhoods in San Francisco receive chronically poor water quality due to their distance and travel time from Sutro reservoir.
Operating Impact
This project will help to maintain high quality deliveries to customers in the southern portion of the San Francisco served by Sutro Reservoir, LaGrande Tank and Crocker Amazon. Redundant pump station will also lower water age and provide water quality benefits. Minimal change in pumping costs associated with this option, as water is already pumped to these areas.

Description
This project will restore and upgrade up to 13 of the San Francisco chlorine stations as noted in Water Quality Division’s 2025 Chlorine Station needs assessment. These stations are typically located within distribution system pump stations, reservoirs, or tanks and housed in buildings that also accommodate mechanical piping, electrical, and SCADA equipment critical for water system operations. The chlorine station at Sunset reservoir, due to its size and complexity, will be part of a separate capital improvements project. Chlorine stations were last upgraded in 2001, prior to the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) chloramine conversion. This disinfectant change requires new control strategy as well as facility upgrades for reliability and performance. Upgrades may include new housing or housing renovation to separate power, electrical, instrumentation, and controls, from corrosive chemical room environments, repiping chemical injection lines, adding new storage tanks and chemical feed pumps, updating safety equipment (secondary containment, eyewash/shower, exhaust fans, signage, elastomer floor coating, leak alarms, etc.) as well as security and building improvements (repair spalling, flashing, painting), and safe chemical loading/unloading/handling features. Operations staff will also consider automation or remote operation of facilities.
Justification
Currently, the poor condition of distribution chlorine stations, missing equipment, improper design, and lack of controls have required SFPUC to take storage basins offline for long periods of time during warmer season. This storage reduction reduces SFPUC’s ability to maintain emergency storage for firefighting and earthquake contingencies.
Operating Impact
Additional staff-hours expected to provide stakeholder review of project plans, designs and support construction. No additional staff hours upon completion and initiation of the new facility. Safer work environment for staff, appropriate sized chemical stations may require less frequent chemical unloading.

The Program Management project provides funding for planning and management support tasks that are programmatic in nature and support the Water Enterprise Capital Improvement Program (CIP). The Regional Program Management project is funded by Regional Water CIP for efforts that support the Regional projects and the Local Program Management project is funded by the Local Water CIP for tasks within the Local program. The Program Management project includes support funding for San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) staff performing strategic capital planning; program budget planning and management; project controls; quarterly report preparation; preparation of loan and grant applications and administration of such loans and grants; public outreach and communications; document control and management; workforce development; and other programmatic support tasks. The project also includes support for the City Attorney's charges related to the capital program but that are not project-specific in nature. The project also supports the Water Program Management Contract consultant and other professional services contract task orders that provide programmatic support to the CIP, including programmatic planning evaluations, system-wide analyses, safety and other programmatic initiatives, and other support services for the capital program that are system-wide and not project-specific.
Justification
The 10-Year Water Enterprise CIP requires significant planning and management activities that provide benefit to all projects within the CIP; this programmatic project assures program costs are captured and distributed appropriately across the CIP.
Operating Impact
Programmatic support provides more consistency and optimization for planning and management activities, thus improving CIP delivery through greater transparency, controls, and work process efficiencies. Earlier and higher quality CIP delivery reduces operating and system risk through earlier and better optimized asset improvements.

Project Manager: Barbara Palacios Current Active Phase: Pre-Construction Prior Approved Budget: $ 2,942,777 Proposed Budget: $ 2,442,777 Prior Approved Start: 06/01/2023 Proposed Start: 06/01/2022 Prior Approved Finish: 02/01/2027 Proposed Finish: 09/14/2029 Description
The Sunset Boulevard Recycled Water Project was proposed in mid-2019 at the request of the District Supervisor who was responding to area resident complaints about dead vegetation in the planted areas. The Sunset Boulevard medians, which are maintained by the San Francisco Public Works (SFPW), had previously been irrigated with potable water but the supply was disconnected in 2016 when the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) adopted Resolution 16-0127, which deemed irrigation of ornamental turf on public street medians to be in violation of the Water Waste Restrictions.
The project will construct four lateral connections of 8-inch ductile iron pipe from the existing 16-inch recycled water transmission main on 36th Avenue to the proposed irrigation system connection points within the Sunset median. The laterals will also have pressure sustaining valves to ensure deliveries to the Golden Gate Park recycled water reservoir are maintained and prioritized. The assumption is that SFPUC will fund the design and construction of the laterals, including required isolation valves, and the pressure sustaining valves up to the point of connection. SFPW would be responsible for new recycled water meters, booster pumps and hydropneumatics tanks, new electrical service connections, and irrigation system modifications required for compliance with SFPUC Recycled Water Rules and Regulations. This is a joint project with DPW, with DPW taking the lead in planning, design, environmental review,
construction, and construction management. The SFPUC is taking the lead on Recycled Water Permitting. DPW will be applying for a Large Landscape Grant (administered by Water Conservation) to modify the landscaping and irrigation systems for recycled water use.
Justification
This project has been proposed to irrigate the Sunset Boulevard medians with recycled water from the Westside Recycled Water Treatment Facility.
This project is a joint project with the SFPW, who is the project lead with the SFPUC providing limited support services and partial project funding Operating Impact
The pipeline will be owned and operated by the SFPUC. Adding this user to the Westside Enhanced Recycled Water Project will impact permitting, infrastructure management and maintenance, and treatment plant operations.

The San Francisco Zoo currently uses approximately 100 million gallons of ground water per year for pool filling, cage washdown, and irrigation. The proposed project will replace the groundwater supply with recycled water, preserving the groundwater for other beneficial uses, including the maintenance of the groundwater basin integrity.
The project includes the installation of approximately 1,600 LF of 6-inch ductile iron pipeline (with cathodic protection), along with associated pressure sustaining valve at the point of connection to the transmission main and a flow control valve at the reservoir inlet. Two pre-cast concrete vaults will house these specialized valves. New ultrasonic level instruments will be installed in the reservoir roof to control the flow of recycled water into the reservoir. New reservoir penetrations are required for the recycled water supply as well as the level sensors. Two remote terminal units will provide for communication of key operations data to both Lake Merced and the Oceanside Plant. Power for the instruments, communications, and flow control valve will be provided through the existing pump station; a power submeter is included. The existing groundwater supply will be reconfigured to have an air-gap, as required by State regulations. Two new revenue meters will be installed on each supply. The new pipeline on Sloat Boulevard has triggered the upgrade of curb ramps. The conversion to recycled water use will
require the retrofitting of the Zoo non-potable water loop with the appropriate irrigation and water system fittings and signage that identify the water source as recycled water. Cross connection testing will be required and, given the complexity of the site, a detailed plan and considerable coordination will likely be required. A site-specific engineering report (regulatory submittal) will also be required for the project.
Justification
The project will connect a new pipeline lateral from the existing 16-inch Westside Recycled Water transmission main and connect to the existing SF Zoo reservoir. The existing groundwater supply will be maintained as the back-up supply in the event of a recycled water outage.
Operating Impact
The pipeline will be owned and operated by the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC). SFPUC will also take ownership of the existing groundwater well station in the SF Zoo parking lot. Adding this user to the Westside Enhanced Recycled Water Project will impact permitting, infrastructure management and maintenance, and treatment plant operations.

While this project doesn’t envision the construction of any infrastructure assets, it provides planning support for the identification and early development of water reuse projects in San Francisco, as funding allows. With stategic investments in reuse projects, the San Francisco retail service area will have greater water supply resilience in the future. This project budget accounts for preliminary feasibility and operations studies, outreach, technical advisory committee convening, and other soft costs, including staff time and City Attorney's Office fees. In the Fiscal Year (FY) 27-36 budget cycle, the SFPUC is transitioning costs associated with the development of PureWaterSF to that new project (separate Capital Improvement Plan [CIP] project).
Justification
Being at the western end of the Regional Water System, conservation and the development of local supplies help the city build water supply resilience.
This project helps identify and evaluate local reuse projects that can augment and diversify local water supply. An investment in reuse, including purified water as a source of supply, in San Francisco will require careful planning, analysis, outreach, and training.
Operating Impact
This project supports the ongoing investigation and development of water reuse. Reuse projects will provide new sources of supply for delivery, affecting operations and maintenance of our delivery system.
Budget Change Yes Schedule Change Yes Scope Change Yes
Reason for Change
The variance in the scope and budget is due to the decision to fund the development of the 1990 Newcomb PureWaterSF East project as a standalone project in the CIP starting FY25-26. The variance in the budget is due to changes in the amount allocated to the program. The variance in schedule is due to the extension of program support for all local water reuse projects through 2050.

Facility Category: Water Supply and Storage Program
Project Manager: Obiajulu Nzewi Current Active Phase: Pre-Construction Prior Approved Budget: $ 14,500,000 Proposed Budget: $ 17,625,000 Prior Approved Start: 11/01/2022 Proposed Start: 11/01/2023 Prior Approved Finish: 01/05/2028 Proposed Finish: 01/02/2029 Description
The San Francisco Groundwater Project was implemented as part of the Water System Improvement Program (WSIP) and entailed installation of six wells in San Francisco. These wells would produce up to 4MGD of potable groundwater, which would be blended with regional supplies as part of the local water supply. Subsequent analysis detected volatile organic compounds at three of the six newly installed wells (West Sunset, South Sunset and Golden Gate Central Wells). The San Francisco Local Groundwater Treatment project will entail planning, evaluation of alternative analysis design, environmental review and construction of a new treatment system in San Francisco to address these detections.
Justification
The project is required to address detection of volatile organic compounds in three of the new local groundwater supply wells, allowing SFPUC to meet the WSIP project goals of delivering approximately 4MGD of potable groundwater that can be blended with regional system water for local deliveries as well as provide a local source of potable water during emergencies.
Operating Impact
No impact on current operations, but would increase availability of local sources of water for the City of San Francisco.
Budget Change Yes Schedule Change Yes Scope Change No
Reason for Change
The variance in the budget is due to increased escalation percentages, additional project duration as a result of additional alternative analysis coordination with the Recreations and Parks Department (RPD), and additional studies required to evaluate existing facility limitations. The variance in the schedule is due to additional alternative site location analyses, evaluation of existing facility conditions, and coordination with RPD

Building Reuse
Facility Category: Water Supply and Storage Program
Project Manager: Barbara Palacios Current Active Phase: Pre-Construction Prior Approved Budget: $ 19,664,547 Proposed Budget: $ 29,621,850 Prior Approved Start: 01/01/2023 Proposed Start: 01/01/2023 Prior Approved Finish: 07/05/2027 Proposed Finish: 02/05/2029 Description
The existing Onsite Non-Potable Water System (ONWS) at 525 Golden Gate Avenue was constructed in 2012 and includes the use of a proprietary treatment system, the Living Machine, to produce recycled water for non-potable use within the building. This system includes a typical primary wastewater treatment process to remove trash and suspended solids, and an engineered wetland process to reduce total suspended solids, biochemical oxygen demand, and nutrients. The wastewater also undergoes additional treatment including UV disinfection and chlorine disinfection before being used to flush toilets and urinals in the building. As part of the process, several vegetated planters (the engineered wetland basins) within and outside of the building are used to treat the water and are also irrigated. The SFPUC) plans to upgrade its Onsite Non-Potable Water System to comply with the new San Francisco Health Code requirements of Article 12C. Secondary objectives of the project are to optimize operability and promote public outreach and education on potable reuse with a permanent onsite demonstration facility for the PureWaterSF program.
Justification
Article 12C of the San Francisco Health Code governs the collection, treatment and reuse of rainwater, stormwater, graywater, onsite wastewater, and other alternate water sources for toilet flushing, irrigation, and other non-potable uses in commercial developments. This code was amended to include new water quality and treatment requirements
related to the control of pathogenic organisms, referred to as Log Reduction Targets (LRT). All onsite reuse systems are required to comply with the new LRT requirements, including the system at 525 Golden Gate.
Operating Impact
525 Golden Gate's onsite wastewater treatment system will be owned and operated by the SFPUC. Implementing this project will require permitting, infrastructure management, and ongoing operations and maintenance.
Budget Change Yes Schedule Change Yes Scope Change Yes
Reason for Change
With respect to the last CIP, the proposed project schedule has increased by approximately eighteen months. The reason for this change was to conduct a constructability assessment of the proposed project as the original Alternatives Analysis did not address construction feasibility concerns.
Additional time was also needed to secure technical resources to assist with the development of Project Performance Criteria which will be part of the solicitation documents for the proposed alternative delivery RFQ/P. The Construction cost has increased to account for additional escalation related to the schedule extension, and this cost also includes an estimated project delivery fee (design and construction support services) as the contract is proposed as collaborative delivery Progressive Design-Build. During the development of the performance criteria document, it was determined that there are known corrosion issues in existing equalization tanks and pipelines - which will be part of the future system. Additional budget is now included for condition assessment and repair/lining. Also, as part of the planning effort, it was determined that the rainwater collection system will also require repairs/modifications to make the system functional again. A placeholder cost is included.

Newcomb
Facility Category: Water Supply and Storage Program
Project Manager: Fan Lau Current Active Phase: Pre-Construction Prior Approved Budget: $ 1,000,000 Proposed Budget: $ 88,400,000 Prior Approved Start: 07/01/2025 Proposed Start: 07/01/2025 Prior Approved Finish: 06/30/2027 Proposed Finish: 06/30/2034 Description
The PureWaterSF program is for outreach, demonstration, research, operator training, and implementation of purified water treatment and distribution facilities in San Francisco. San Francisco depends on Regional Water System supplies for the majority of its drinking water. With shortages in the Regional Water System projected for future droughts, this project provides a local drinking water supply source to increase reliability. The PureWaterSF demonstration, outreach, and training facility project (working title "PROOF") will be located at 1990 Newcomb and is the foundational phase of the PureWaterSF program. The source water for the facility would be provided from the Southeast Treatment Plant. This project includes determining and obtaining easements for and constructing a pipeline(s) to convey source water from the Southeast Treatment Plant to 1990 Newcomb.
A separate candidate project, referred to as PureWaterSF East Phase 1, the 2.5-million-gallon-per-day (mgd) full-scale facility, is also proposed for the FY 2027-36 CIP.
Justification
This project, coupled with the PureWaterSF East Phase 1 Project, is necessary because it fulfills SFPUC’s goal of increasing water supply resiliency through alternative water supplies. While this project will itself not produce or deliver water to customers, it is a necessary precursor to the full-scale PureWaterSF East Phase 1 Project, which will produce and deliver water to customers. If PROOF is delayed or not completed, SFPUC will not be able to: obtain a permit from the State Water Resources Control Board to operate the full-scale facility, train operators to ultimately operate the full-scale facility, nor provide public outreach and education programming to gain public acceptance of the project and new supply.
This project was approved with $1M seed funding in the Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-34 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) with the intention to reallocate budget from 10034505: SF Purified Water / Reuse to fund additional phases.
Water LOS Goal Supported: Water Supply
Operating Impact
Significant operating impacts anticipated to Wastewater Enterprise (impacts: operations at wastewater treatment plants providing source water when downstream PROOF facility is online) Water Quality Division (WQD) (impacts: advanced operator certification and additional staffing needed).
Planning and coordination with San Francisco Water Division (SFWD) is also envisioned to demonstrate preparedness for full-scale operation and delivery.
Budget Change Yes Schedule Change Yes Scope Change Yes
Reason for Change
The variance of the scope is due to the expansion of the initial project concept from incubation to project implementation and completion (i.e., construction and start-up operation). The variance of the budget is due to expansion of the scope and resources beyond seed money and to include all phases through construction and start-up operation. The variance of the schedule is due to expansion of the scope to include all phases through construction and start-up operation.

Description
The PureWaterSF program is for outreach, demonstration, research, operator training, and implementation of purified water treatment and distribution facilities in San Francisco. San Francisco depends on Regional Water System Supplies for the majority of its drinking water. With shortages in the Regional Water System projected for future droughts, this project provides a local drinking water supply source to increase reliability.
PureWaterSF East Phase 1 is a full-scale advanced water treatment facility producing 2.5 mgd of purified water at 1990 Newcomb. This project is intended to start after the PureWaterSF demonstration, outreach, training facility (working title "PROOF"), which is also located at 1990 Newcomb, has been operational for a few years. The source water would be provided from the Southeast Treatment Plant. This project includes determining and obtaining easements for and constructing a pipeline(s) and pump station to convey source water from the Southeast Treatment Plant to 1990 Newcomb. This pipeline(s) will be separate from that installed and used for PROOF.
Not included in this project, but envisioned as a companion to this project in the future is a potential expansion of PureWaterSF East up to 17.5 million gallons per day (mgd) and a PureWaterSF West project located near Oceanside Treatment Plant producing up to 5 mgd.
Justification
This project, coupled with the PureWaterSF PROOF Project, is necessary because it fulfills SFPUC’s goal of increasing water supply resiliency through alternative water supplies. While PROOF is a precursor to this project, water will not be produced or delivered to customers until this project, the full-scale PureWaterSF East Project, is completed. If PureWaterSF East is delayed or not completed, SFPUC’s retail water supply may have lower reliability and more severe rationing may need to be imposed on retail customers during dry years. In addition, because East Phase 1 is intended to start up after PROOF has been in operation for at least 5 years, any delay to East Phase 1 would necessitate extended operation of PROOF or else incur a risk of PROOF becoming a stranded asset.
