Recycled Water Program

Lincoln Park Golf Course

San Francisco and the entire state will continue to face water supply challenges. Developing recycled water in San Francisco would provide a drought-resistant and sustainable water source for non-potable uses. Recycled water would decrease demands on surface waters, expand the SFPUC’s Local Water Supply portfolio, and increase the San Francisco Regional Water Supply System’s reliability. Using recycled water would also reduce the amount of treated wastewater that is discharged to the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay.





The San Francisco Recycled Water Program currently includes these proposed projects:

Golden Gate Park

Harding Park

Sharp Park Golf Course

Status: Pre-Planning

The Proposed Westside Recycled Water Project would provide recycled water to a variety of users on the Westside of San Francisco primarily for landscape irrigation. The system would bring recycled water from the proposed recycled water treatment facility in Golden Gate Park to Lincoln Park and Golf Course to be used for irrigation; additionally reycled water would be used for irrigation and various non-potable uses in Golden Gate Park, including the California Academy of Sciences.

The Proposed Harding Park Recycled Water Project would use available recycled water from the North San Mateo County Sanitation District (NSMCSD) located in Daly City, to irrigate Harding Park and Fleming Park golf courses in San Francisco. The SFPUC has partnered with the NSMCSD for this proposed project.

The Proposed Sharp Park Project would provide recycled water to irrigate the Sharp Park Golf Course in Pacifica, and other nearby areas. When completed, the project would save approximately 40 million gallons of drinking water each year. SFPUC has partnered with the North Coast County Water District on this proposed project.

Pre-planning activities are currently underway for the Eastside Recycled Water Project that include updating recycled water demand estimates, and siting of potential infrastructure. The Eastside Project would provide recycled water to residential, commercial and industrial users for non-drinking uses.
