This year the Water System Improvement Program (WSIP) turns 10! One of the largest infrastructure projects in the nation, the WSIP is repairing, replacing and upgrading our aging water infrastructure to ensure we can deliver water to customers following an earthquake. We’ve gotten a little nostalgic about how far we’ve come in the last 10 years, and we would like to share this video with you.<br />
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/FnT3FxDDz1U" width="510"></iframe><br />
<br />
Now 80 percent complete, the WSIP has already provided increased reliability to the water supply for customers as a result of the completion of some of the program’s major projects. The program has created over 6 million construction craft hours to date, employing more than 11,000 workers since 2007. Nearly half of those workers live in our four-county service area.

On Tuesday, Jan. 21st, the northern section of Sawyer Camp Trail will be closed from the Hillcrest Drive entrance, south 2.5 miles to just before the Jepson Laurel. The trail will be closed all day for Water System-related maintenance. The southern trailhead at Crystal Springs Road will remain open.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Trail Re-opening</u></b><br />
San Andreas Trail's southern section, between Hillcrest Dr. and Larkspur Dr., has been repaired and is now open! It is gravel-surfaced, so cyclists must detour via the bike route along Skyline Drive. This section connects Sawyer Camp Trail to San Andreas Trail.<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px;">Hetch Hetchy Water System improvements are progressing steadily on both sides of the Lower Crystal Springs Dam. In front of the Dam, the new Crystal Springs Pump Station is a hub of construction activity. The pump station moves water from the Crystal Springs Reservoir System to the San Andreas Reservoir with a third more hydraulic capacity than the old pump station, thus allowing SFPUC to advance water to the Harry Tracy Water Treatment Plant faster than before and thereby meeting the SFPUC level of service commitment to provide potable water within 24 hours after a major seismic event.</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px;">When the pump station is completed, most key functions can be controlled remotely from Harry Tracy, located eight miles north.</span></div>

The SFPUC’s Emergency Preparedness Month encourages all San Francisco-area residents to become more aware and prepared for the next emergency, which is almost certain to take place in our lifetimes. The first 72 hours after an emergency are often the times when community members come together to help each other out. If we prepare beforehand, we’ll be better off when an emergency occurs. <br /><br /><b>What can you do? </b><br />Meet with your family, neighbors and community organizers to get connected, develop a plan and share resources. Use SF72.org and sfwater.org/BePrepared as starting points. You’ll find tips, guidelines for supplies, a mobile app and stories from real San Franciscans. <br /><br /><b>This is our city </b><br />SF72.org was developed by San Francisco for San Francisco. Let’s protect each other and our city by using our resources and knowledge to the fullest when an emergency strikes. <br /><br />Our community members are not the only ones getting prepared. The SFPUC has been improving and renovating our regional water system to ensure a safe and reliable water supply. Although San Francisco will always need to rely on this imported water from the Sierras, we are also developing additional water supplies that can be used in the event that our regional system is disrupted. For example, we are developing local wells in San Francisco to blend high-quality groundwater with our imported water supplies, and we’re producing recycled water for non-drinking purposes to reduce the amount of drinking water currently used in these ways.</span></span><br />

Some have asked why a new bridge was built in the fenced-off area by the Crystal Springs trailhead near Edgewood Road. Rather than being a “bridge to nowhere”, the Hetch Hetchy Regional Water System installed the bridge for conservation purposes as part of a habitat improvement project.</div>
<br />
<div class="p1">
The concrete bridge is used by watershed keepers and other environmental and maintenance staff to cross the newly restored creek when needed, allowing the creek to flow freely.</div>

In addition to building the bridge and restoring the creek, this project included enlarging a pond and clearing over four acres of non-native trees and other invasive plants from the site. </div>

Crews have been restoring native plants to the area by hydroseeding and individual plantings. Monitoring and maintenance will continue for at least the next three years, with the help of the new bridge.</div>

The function of the pump station is to move water supply from the Crystal Springs Reservoir to the San Andreas Reservoir, and then to the Harry Tracy Water Treatment Plant, and then on to customers. A project of the Water System Improvement Program, the new pump station is seismically hardened and has additional capacity. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Serving as the heart of the Crystal Springs/San Andreas water distribution system, the new facility’s hydraulic capacity has been increased from 80 million gallons per day (mgd) to 120 mgd. “This is a major improvement – it has a third more capacity than the old pump station, which allows SFPUC to replenish San Andreas reservoir in less time than before” noted Tasso Mavroudis, Senior Project Manager on the Peninsula. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The new pump station’s underground pipes (infrastructure) were literally built on top of the existing plumbing in order to keep the old facility in operation until the new facility was ready. This new infrastructure connects to recently retrofitted and seismically reinforced outlet structures in the Crystal Springs<span style="font-size: small;"> Reservoir to draw water into the pump station. Four powerful new 2500 horsepower pumps include equipment to regulate the distribution, providing more variable flow options than before.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">P<span style="font-size: small;">ump operations can now be controlled remotely which means most key functions are now automated. Eight miles north at the Harry Tracy Water Treatment Plant, the same operations team which draws water from the San Andreas Reservoir can control flow from the pump station. </span></span><br />
