The University Mound Reservoir is one of three terminal reservoirs of the Regional Water System that is located in San Francisco. The reservoir, which was constructed in 1885, is seismically vulnerable and in need of general rehabilitation. This upgrade project addresses both areas of need. The project is provided in response to the Seismic reliability level of service goals.

Description
The project primarily consists of:

• Seismic rehabilitation of the reservoir walls and roof using seismic joints, shear walls, diagonal bracing, and struts and foundation improvements. A geotechnical investigation was conducted that verified that the reservoir embankments are not subject to seismically induced failure.
• General rehabilitation, which would include repairing deteriorated concrete; replacing the reservoir lining material; replacing inlet/outlet, drain, and overflow piping; replacing outlet and drain valves; and performing landscaping and other miscellaneous site improvements.

Note: Construction start and finish dates may vary from the dates published in the 2007 Approved WSIP Schedule. The dates above reflect the current forecast dates published in the latest WSIP Quarterly Report.
