GCSD Calls for Conservation
January 4, 2010
The San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) from January 4 - February 5, 2010, will be conducting repairs and inspections of critical water and power infrastructure, which includes parts nearly 90 years of age. The project has taken more than 3 years of planning and will require a 32-day shutdown of water conveyance facilities between Hetch Hetchy Reservoir and Moccasin.
Work will include improvements in the Mountain Tunnel for reliability, repairs at Moccasin Powerhouse to optimize water quality during storm events, repairs to an emergency water supply bypass at the Kirkwood Powerhouse, and inspections of Kirkwood Penstock infrastructure. This work is only possible when the system is offline and necessary to continue the reliable delivery of water, especially during emergencies, to the Groveland, Moccasin Fish Hatchery and the more than 2 million customers in the San Francisco Bay Area.
GCSD customers should not experience any interruption to their normal water service, however we do ask that you please be mindful of your water usage and conserve as much as possible for the duration of the tunnel shut-down. Please visit the Water/Wastewater tab for more suggestions on how to conserve water. We thank you for your cooperation.
Sincerely,
GCSD staff
