Groundwater Well Work at Centennial Trail Starts May 21


We at the SFPUC are looking for up to three additional groundwater well station locations to complete the Regional Groundwater Storage and Recovery Project (GSR). One potential location is adjacent to Centennial Trail behind South San Francisco High School between West Orange Avenue and South Spruce Avenue. Beginning Monday, May 21, 2018, a test well will be drilled to determine if this is a viable site production well site. We will test the well for two months to determine whether or not the site is viable.


What to Expect
  • A crew of approximately 8 people will operate a drill rig to dig an approximately 700 foot well.
  • Expected start of work: Crews will be on site starting May 21, 2018.
  • Anticipated Drilling Duration: Six weeks.
  • Duration of Testing:  two months.
  • Construction Work Hours:  Daytime Work: Monday-Friday 7:00 a.m.-7:00 p.m. No weekend or nighttime work is expected at this time.
  • Centennial Trail will remain open to the public throughout construction.
  • The rig and equipment will stay on site for the duration of the work. The construction area will be fenced off for safety. A security guard will monitor the area after work hours when the contractor is not on site.
  • The contractors will make every effort to minimize dust and noise in accord with South San Francisco noise ordinances.
  • Please avoid the equipment for your safety.

In order for vehicles to safely make the turn into the site from El Cortez Avenue, we will post no parking signs on a portion of El Cortez near the school fire lane for the duration of construction (see below).
