El Camino Real Landscape Update







The Regional Groundwater Storage and Recovery (GSR) project has nearly completed its work at the Garden Chapel Funeral Home site along El Camino Real. We have drilled a new approximately 620-foot well, built a new well station, and installed 850 feet of pipeline to connect this with the water transmission system. We removed the trees along the pipeline alignment along El Camino Real between Southwood Drive and Orange Avenue for this project.


After discussions with the City of South San Francisco, the SFPUC has planted 15 Coast Live Oak trees along El Camino Real in a way as to not interfere with the pipes in the ground. The team has also planted groundcover in this area and replaced the fence of the Baden Valve Lot with a new black vinyl-coated fence. 


Additional Project Construction
As the project moves forward into Phase 2 we will work on locating up to three additional well sites in Northern San Mateo County. This may require that  the team access the pipeline that runs adjacent along El Camino Real between Southwood Drive and Orange Avenue. The additional work may disturb the groundcover, which the SFPUC will restore after the pipeline work is complete. There will be no impact to the newly replanted trees.
