Project
A
We'll
move
under
presentation
this
evening
we're
going
to
receive
a
presentation
on
the
San
Francisco
Public,
Utilities,
Commission,
Harry,
Tracy
water
treatment,
plant
improvement
project
and
with
us
this
evening
is
Marine
who
will
go
ahead
and
lead
us
off
representing
the
agency
this
evening.
Green.
Thank
you
for
being
here.
B
As
I
said
good
evening,
and
thank
you
again
for
this
opportunity
for
the
San
Francisco
PUC
to
speak
to
you
about
one
of
our
water
system,
improvement
program,
projects
and
I
must
say
one
of
the
largest
and
most
complex,
I'm
maureen
barry
and
I'm
with
communications
with
the
water
system.
Improvement
program
and
with
me,
is
calvin
huey.
Who
is
the
project,
manager
and
he'll,
be
answering
your
questions
and
taking
your
comments
afterwards.
B
Perfect
before
we
started
I
just
wanted
to
give
you
an
overview
about
where
we
are
with
the
project.
As
you
know,
this
project
is
one
of
80.
More
than
80
of
the
whole
water
system
improvement
program,
projects
that
are
improving
our
regional
Hetch
Hetchy
water
system
that
spans
over
five
counties.
We
did
work
from
the
Central
Valley,
all
the
way
into
San
Francisco.
Right
now
we
are
about
eighty
percent
complete.
B
So,
as
we
have
talked
to
you
in
the
past,
Harry
Tracy
was
built
in
nineteen,
seventy
two
and
then
upgraded
in
nineteen
eighty,
it's
the
sole
water
treatment
plant
serving
at
the
Crystal
Springs
reservoir
system.
Together
the
system
provides
critical
local
water
storage
and
also
serves
as
an
emergency
source
for
supplementary
water
supply
for
all
the
residents
in
san
mateo
and
san
francisco
counties.
B
I'm
pleased
to
say
that
this
project
is
now
seventy
percent
complete
and
it's
on
schedule
to
have
all
the
major
work
done
by
December
of
this
year
and
as
you're
well
aware,
the
San
Mateo
San,
Andreas
Fault,
is
very
nearby
and,
as
a
result,
the
goal
of
this
project
is
to
seismically
reinforce
it.
So
that
would
mean
it
would
sustain
just
limited
damage
following
a
major
earthquake
and
also
so
that
we'll
be
able
to
deliver
140
million
gallons
per
day
to
our
water
customers
within
24
hours
of
an
earthquake.
B
And
as
this
is
a
recent
photo
of
all
the
construction
to
your
right,
is
the
new
treated
water
reservoir
that
we
are
building
right
now
it
really
has
been
a
major
portion
of
the
construction
at
the
site.
It's
a
new
11
million
gallon
treated
water
reservoir,
the
foundation
interior
columns
and
the
majority
of
the
inner
and
outer
walls
were
completed
the
last
year.
The
remaining
inner
walls
and
roof
will
be
finished
this
spring,
and
this
is
a
photo
that
shows
the
overall
plant
to
date.
B
This
is
another
look
at
what
the
construction
was
from
last
November.
There
was
multiple
layers
of
metal
and
concrete,
and
this
is
on
top
of
a
concrete
foundation.
This
is
amazing
site
and
we're
hoping
that,
maybe
if
you
have
the
chance,
you
can
come
up
and
see
it
certainly
have
an
open
invitation
anytime.
B
You
may
recall
that
when
we
were
doing
the
planning
for
this
project,
some
of
the
seismic
analysis
actually
uncovered
a
small
trace
of
the
San
Andreas
Fault
under
the
whole
plant.
It
was
called
the
Sarah
fault
and
or
Sarah
trace,
and
so,
as
a
result,
we
really
redesigned
this
whole
project
and
it
was
we
abandoned
to
other
treated
water
reservoirs
and
are
able
to
consolidate
it
into
one,
and
so
this
is
quite
a
task.
B
B
Here's
a
close-up
of
the
interior
columns,
drink
construction
when
it's
all
done,
the
entire
structure
will
be
wrapped
with
seismic
cables
and
reinforced
with
shotcrete.
The
reservoir
is
designed
to
move
with
an
earthquake.
The
roof
floats
on
88,
concrete
columns.
It
is
reinforced
by
pre-stressed,
vertical
tendons
and
is
attached
to
the
walls
by
neyo
pain,
neoprene
bearing
pads
I'm.
Sorry
I
really
need
my
glasses,
but
I'm
doing
the
best.
I
can
did
I
leave
them
over
there.
B
Okay,
as
well
as
the
addition
of
the
work
with
the
treated
water
reservoir.
We've
also
put
in
two
tunnels,
and
one
of
them
is
bringing
water
in
and
the
other
one
is
bringing
it
out.
And
if
you
look
in
the
picture,
you
can
see
how
large
this
is,
because
it's
also
the
gentleman
or
really
is
tall
the
workers
there
as
the
whole
tunnel
last
fall.
B
We
also
completed
seismic
reinforcement
of
a
pipeline
on
the
millbrae
side
of
plant
and
that
runs
between
meadows,
elementary
school
and
a
daycare
center,
and
the
project
actually
did
an
excellent
job
with
the
community
and
working
with
the
daycare
center
and
the
needs
of
the
neighborhood
that
worked
out
very
well.
It
was
great
cooperation
by
everyone,
and
this
photo
also
illustrates
what
we're
doing
around
desk
control
measures.
In
addition
to
watering
the
site
multiple
times
a
day,
we
also
are
covering
all
the
soil,
so
we
can
ensure
that
you
know
we.
B
B
This
filtered
water
will
flow
by
gravity
into
the
new
reservoir
and
last
spring
we
also
began
building
five
new
filters
to
increase
our
treatment
capacity,
and
these
are
on
schedule
to
be
completed
this
summer
and
you'll
also
notice,
if
you're
driving
by
280
there's
a
new
wash
water
tank.
One
of
the
many
improvements
to
the
site
this
month
we're
going
to
start
the
sixth,
a
total
plant
shutdown.
B
We've
got
very
good
after
all
these
months,
pretty
close
communications
with
the
neighbors
and
on
a
first-name
basis,
so
we'll
be
notifying
them
and
also
of
what
to
expect
you
know.
We
haven't
had
that
much
problems
with
this
kind
of
work
generally,
because
a
lot
of
its
included
inside
the
plant,
even
though
they're
working
24
hours,
so
it
seemed
to
work
and
we've.
It
went
order.
We've
had
instances
where
neighbors
have
complained
or
they've
talked
about.
This
we've
tried
to
make
other
accommodations
and
that
seems
to
have
work
pretty
well.
B
This
fall
when
everything
is
complete.
We
hope
to
have
of
the
neighbors
in
for
a
open
house.
The
site
will
be
less
of
construction
site
more
safe
and
so
they'll
get
a
closer
look
at
the
treated
water
reservoir.
So
on
the
screen,
you'll
also
notice
that
we
have
a
24-hour
answer
line
that
has
been
very
helpful.
B
They
can
get
a
hold
of
us
any
time
that
the
service
has
been
really
very
good
and
then
we
are
also
online
and
we
have
an
email
that
people
take
advantage
of
all
the
time
so
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
at
this
point
to
Calvin.
If
you
have
questions
specifically
about
the
project
and
various
aspects,
we'd
be
delighted
to
take
them
and
again,
we
hope
that
you
come
by.
D
D
C
Storage
is
about
11
million
gallons,
so
that
gives
us
the
ability
to
produce
140
million
gallons
per
day
of
treated
water.
So
that's
really
the
goal
of
this
project
by
time.
We're
done
we're
going
to
be
able
to
treat
140
million
gallons
so
that
your
11
million
storage.
This
comes
into
play
with
our
filtration
process
and.
