Informational Meeting
January 2008
The San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) owns and manages the Hetch Hetchy water system that delivers drinking water to 2.4 million people in the Bay Area, including residents in Santa Clara County.
SFPUC is proposing a construction project on two of its largest pipelines that carry water from the Sierra Nevada to the South Bay and the Peninsula. The project would allow the SFPUC to shut down shorter portions of the pipelines and transfer water between the two pipes for maintenance and repair, and would reduce water loss in the event of an earthquake or other emergency.
One of the three proposed project sites is located on SFPUC-owned land adjacent to the Fairway Glen Pump Station within the Ulistac Natural Area in Santa Clara. Project construction, anticipated between 2009-2011, may temporarily close portions of trails near the southeast end of the Ulistac Natural Area, and access to Ulistac from Lick Mill Boulevard may be limited.
Please join us at an informational meeting to meet the project team and learn more about the project and how it may affect Ulistac Natural Area users and nearby residents.
