There will be no construction work going on at University Mound Reservoir from Friday, January 1 to Sunday, January 3, 2010. Work will resume on Monday, January 4, 2010. If you see any unusual or illegal activities during non-work hours, please call the police immediately.
Well, here is your chance to be Santa, and give your used cooking oil as a gift to the SFPUC. What's best, your gift will have a dual benefit: help keep our sewers clean, and be converted to biofuel for use in vehicles, reducing our carbon footprint.
Hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving!
Temporary Saturday Work
To accommodate construction work, S.J. Amoroso and its subcontractors will be working onsite on a temporary basis on Saturdays, starting Oct 17, 2009, for the following several months. Work will mainly occur inside the reservoir. However, there may be noise, traffic and parking impacts due to the transporting of materials to and from various points within the construction site.
If you see any unusual or illegal activities during non-work hours, please call the police immediately.
Monday thru Friday Work Hours Extended
Construction work hours have been extended on a temporary basis to 7AM – 7PM.
University Street Traffic Impacts
As our contractor S.J. Amoroso continues to work inside the reservoir, there will be temporary traffic impacts on University Street between Felton & Bacon streets.
With construction activities commencing at University and Felton streets to set up an access point into the North-west corner of the North Basin, parking has been limited on the small portion of the Felton (30’ feet)/University (100’ feet) street corners, but the sidewalk is still open to pedestrians. A portion of the middle of University Street (100’ feet) between Felton & Bacon streets is now also, being used by subcontractor Malcolm Drilling for construction work inside the reservoir.
For your safety, please be aware of flagmen, construction equipment and traffic impacts when driving around the construction site.
Bacon Street Now Closed to Pedestrians and Traffic until Summer 2011
This street closure allows for the project construction equipment and materials to be contained in an area within the construction site, and not on adjacent streets. Please look out for street closure and detour signs when driving around the reservoir.
The traffic control plan submitted by S. J. Amoroso to the City's Department of Parking and Traffic has now been approved. This means that the closure of Bacon Street between University and Bowdoin streets will occur this week. This street closure will allow for much of the construction equipment and materials to be contained in an area within the construction site, and not on adjacent streets. This portion of Bacon Street will be closed to traffic and pedestrians until Summer 2011. Please look out for street closure and detour signs when driving around the reservoir.Also, thank you to those that joined us at the project Open House last Thursday, September 10, 2009 held at the SFPUC's Yellow House on the corner of University & Bacon streets. If you weren't able to make it, a copy of the project boards featured and handouts provided are available by clicking here.

The successful completion of this project will ensure the reservoir continues to provide drinking water to San Francisco residents even after a seismic event or other emergencies.
