New Interactive Map for Regional Groundwater Storage & Recovery Project

The Regional Groundwater Storage & Recovery (GSR) Project has multiple active sites across five cities: Daly City, South San Francisco, Millbrae, Colma and San Bruno. In an effort to keep you informed about construction activities, detours and other project updates associated with GSR Project’s 13 sites, we have developed a Geographic Information System (GIS) Map.

This GIS map will be located on the project webpage www.sfwater.org/GSR. The map will be updated regularly depending on construction activities. A a snapshot of the GIS map with functionality capabilities is below.

• Click numbers 1 - 13 to review construction site information
• Each site has a box that highlights current status, hours and upcoming work
• The blue area illustrates the construction area limits associated with the site
• Use the navigational + and - sign to zoom in and out of the GSR project map

Holiday Construction Updates from the SFPUC

Regional GSR Project Begins Well Drilling Next Week

On Thursday, June 18, the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission’s Regional Groundwater Storage and Recovery (GSR) project will begin drilling a new groundwater well to a depth of 730 feet deep at Benjamin Franklin Intermediate School in Daly City.

24-hour well drilling work will occur continuously for up to one month. inside the blue rectangle pictured above. 

To minimize noise impacts, the contractor will monitor noise levels and install sound blankets to ensure it does not exceed the local noise ordinance. During night work, the contractor will rotate construction lighting to direct it away from homes near well drilling work.
