Construction Update #4: University Mound Reservoir-North Basin

Keeping the Neighborhood Safe
Recently the University Mound Reservoir has been burglarized with SFPUC contractors and their sub-contractors construction equipment stolen. These incidents have occurred mainly on the weekends and evenings. If you see any unusual or illegal activities during non-work hours, please call the police immediately. We appreciate your assistance in keeping the neighborhood safe.

Happy New Year From the SFPUC!

On behalf of our employees, I want to wish you and your family a very Happy New Year! 2010 promises to be another year of great progress for the SFPUC. We’ll continue our important work to seismically rebuild the Hetch Hetchy water system. We’ll build California’s largest municipal solar project at Sunset Reservoir. We’ll make key decisions on upgrading critical parts of the City’s aging sewer infrastructure. These are just a sampling of the broad efforts our employees are engaged in every day to bring you reliable water, wastewater and power services. Thank you for your continued support.
