Seacliff 1 & Seacliff 2 Pump Stations and Force Main Upgrades
Overview
The San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) operates a combined sewer system that collects and treats wastewater (sewage and stormwater). Originally built in the 1930-40's, Seacliff 1 & Seacliff 2 Pump Stations (PS) provide essential sewer services to parts of the Seacliff area and connect to the existing sewers under El Camino Del Mar Drive, and ultimately to our Oceanside Treatment Plant. Both facilities are at the end of their useful life and in need of upgrades.

Project Background
What's a Pump Station and Force Main?
Our combined sewer system is mostly gravity operated, but in some parts of the City, pump stations are necessary to pump combined wastewater flows to treatment facilities. To convey the flows from the pump stations, force mains are the pressurized pipes that help move flows from the pump station and through the system. Many of our aging pump stations and force mains are being upgraded as part of the Sewer System Improvement Program.
Project Benefits:
- Maintain critical sewer system services by upgrading both Seacliff 1 and Seacliff 2 Pump Stations and Force Mains
- Meet seismic standards
- Increase sewer system reliability
- Protect water quality and aquatic life in the Bay
- Project Materials
