In 2005, the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) launched a citywide $150 million 5-Year Wastewater Capital Improvement Program (5-Yr WWCIP) to improve the reliability and efficiency of San Francisco’s combined wastewater and storm water system. Over the next few years these projects will help address the most critical needs of our aging wastewater system, improving the capacity of sewer mains, upgrading treatment facilities and reducing wastewater odors.
The 5-Yr WWCIP was made possible through the 2005 wastewater service charge increases. The additional funding also allowed us to increase the numbers of sewers replaced on an annual basis and improve the operations at our wastewater treatment plants. For more information on the 5-Year WWCIP, please contact Idil Bereket, SFPUC Communications at (415) 554-0741 or ibereket@sfwater.org.
Serious short-term critical needs are being addressed, but more needs to be done. In 2006, the SFPUC launched the S.F. Sewer System Master Plan to look at the long-term needs of the entire wastewater system. Visit www.sfsewers.org for more information.
