United for Infrastructure Week celebrates the importance of investing in our reservoirs, electric grids, sewer systems, and more. At the SFPUC and within the Power Enterprise, we #LeadWithInfrastructure every day to bring affordable, clean energy to customers and San Francisco. Our clean energy programs, Hetch Hetchy Power and CleanPowerSF, support new power infrastructure in San Francisco and beyond. Hetch Hetchy Power is constructing a new high voltage transmission and distribution system along the eastern waterfront for new and existing customers. In addition, the public power utility

Congratulations to the Force Main Rehabilitation at Embarcadero and Jackson Improvements Project team for completing their project in early 2022! Upgrades to the North Shore Force Main marks the final step in providing redundant, reliable sewer services to more than 350,000 residents and businesses in the northeastern part of San Francisco. The Final Step of Many The North Shore Force Main is a pressurized sewer pipeline that transports wastewater (sanitary sewage and stormwater) in northern San Francisco to the Southeast Treatment Plant in the Bayview. This critical part of the city’s sewer

Infrastructure is something many of don’t think about and take for granted. Just like turning on the water faucet and getting clean, delicious tasting water; or flushing the toilet; or charging your mobile device. When infrastructure is done right, it blends into the background. The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted how important essential workers are to the health and productivity of a community. Many of these essential workers maintain, build, or support the infrastructure systems we rely on. In celebration of United for Infrastructure Week on May 16-20, let’s take a moment to appreciate the

On a sunny Monday morning this past winter, Construction Manager Ryan Cayabyab took a few minutes out of his day to talk about his work and reflect on growing up Filipino American. Cayabyab is the Construction Manager on the SFPUC’s Biosolids Digester Facilities Project (BDFP), the SFPUC’s largest infrastructure project under the Sewer System Improvement Program. Under Cayabyab’s leadership, the BDFP is replacing and relocating the existing digester facilities at the Southeast Treatment Plant with new, expanded, reliable, and modern solids treatment facilities. Growing up in San Francisco

Groundbreaking study that SF commissioned will help the City adopt policies to address powerful future storms, which can now be modeled with much greater accuracy

It’s Climate Action Month and it’s as good a time as ever to be reminded that we only have one planet so we should take care of it.

For those who surf, bike, walk, drive and live along the west side of San Francisco, Ocean Beach is a community treasure. But it is also a challenging environment, impacted by storm-driven waves and suffering from climate-induced erosion of the coastal bluffs. As climate change causes sea levels to rise, erosion is expected to worsen, narrowing the beach, and further threatening coastal infrastructure like our roads and critical underground sewers system facilities. At South Ocean Beach, shoreline erosion is threatening the most seaward component of the combined system — the Lake Merced Tunnel

April is Climate Action Month! Every decision you make helps build a more sustainable and resilient planet. Actions You Can Take Today Here are a few simple actions you can take when it comes to clean energy for you and your family. Renewable energy from solar and wind—not dirty fossil fuels—is better for your health, our community, and the planet. 1. Upgrade to 100% Renewable Energy If you are one of our 385,000 CleanPowerSF residential customers (check your next PG&E bill and look for our line item on the first page), you are already receiving at least 50% renewable energy for your home. But

The SFPUC has been critical in helping San Francisco meet its ambitious climate action goals and is a national leader in water recycling and reuse programs that help San Franciscans achieve some of California's lowest water consumption rates. Our energy programs, CleanPowerSF and Hetchy Hetchy Power, provide renewable energy and 100% greenhouse gas-free electricity to San Franciscans. We are also working to upgrade our aging combined sewer system and transform San Francisco’s stormwater resiliency by implementing different types of green infrastructure throughout the City.
