Update from the Seismic Project Team

Thank you to all who attended the Open House last Wednesday. It was a great opportunity to meet representatives of the project team and the Union Sanitary District to discuss what to expect once construction begins this year. We will share more responses to neighbor’s questions in future weeks.

We will host another public meeting before the construction of the new seismically reliable pipelines begins this summer. Notices will be mailed to nearby neighbors and door hanger invitations will be distributed in advance.

Project Update:

• Preconstruction work is still ongoing on the Seismic Upgrade of two Hetch Hetchy Regional Water System pipelines where they cross the Hayward Fault in Fremont. This involves digging exploratory trenches. Residents may see crews and construction activities near the I680 Mission Blvd northbound on-ramp next week.

• Union Sanitary District will perform a major utility relocation in spring 2012. This construction work is estimated to begin mid-March and continue through July. Public notices will be mailed out and door hangers distributed as work approaches your neighborhood area.

Stay tuned! We will continue to post updates on this work on our project blog. You are encouraged to contact us on our 24 hour project hotline at 800-571-6610 or by email baydivision@sfwater.org.

NOTE: Construction may be delayed due to weather and other unforeseen circumstances.
