This holiday season, we celebrate the halfway point of the improvements projects at Harry Tracy Water Treatment Plant and the completion of pile driving. With your cooperation, we are proud to continue bringing you high quality, delicious Hetch Hetchy water.

Happy Holidays from our family to yours!

Less Evening/Weekend Work at Harry Tracy Water Treatment Plant

The construction team concluded its shutdown 5 days early and thus the demanding work hours to complete certain tasks under this deadline has relaxed.  The Plant has resumed regular water treatment plant operations as well as regular deliveries to the plant.

While daytime construction work will continue on our improvements projects, evening work has decreased. Weekend work will be reserved mostly for maintenance which is not expected to be disruptive.

Please call us 24 hours a day at (866) 973-1476 if you have any questions or concerns.

Winter Storm Season is Well Underway

By their nature, storms can cause damage in construction zones. Our management teams carefully plan for rain events and focus on safety needs for inclement weather. We take measures to protect work areas, and after rains we check for any necessary fixes.

As noted earlier, we are in the midst of a temporary "shut down" in regular plant operations at Harry Tracy. Night work, between 5:00 p.m. and 2:30 a.m., is taking place periodically through Monday, December 10^th.

The plant is scheduled to be back in service by mid-December and must be capable of drawing water from the Crystal Springs system following heavy rainstorms this winter. We assure you, noise and vibration monitoring will take place during the evening shift although we do not anticipate disruptive activities.

Night Work Underway at Harry Tracy

As noted earlier, during this shutdown period our contractor may need to work double shifts. Now through November 21, the contractor will work evening shifts between 5:00 p.m. and 2:30 a.m., seven days a week.  We assure you, noise and vibration monitoring will take place during the evening shift although we do not anticipate disruptive activities.  

Night work is anticipated periodically through Monday, December 10th, during this temporary "shut down" in plant operations. Crews are now preparing tunnels and transmission lines for upcoming concrete pours.  The plant is scheduled to be back in service by mid-December and must be capable of drawing water from the Crystal Springs system following heavy rainstorms this winter.

Please call us 24 hours a day at (866) 973-1476 if you have any questions or concerns.

Harry Tracy Night Work Starts November 7

Our contractor at the Harry Tracy Water Treatment Plant will work evening shifts beginning on Wednesday, November 7 through Wednesday, November 21. This additional shift starts at 5:00 p.m. and will end by 2:30 a.m., weekdays only (Monday to Friday). Noise and vibration monitoring will take place during the evening shift to ensure compliance with legal limits.

Night work is anticipated periodically through Monday, December 10^th, as the construction team takes advantage of a temporary "shut down" in plant operations. Crews will be preparing tunnels and transmission lines for upcoming concrete pours.

The Harry Tracy Water Treatment Plant is typically online during construction in order to draw raw water from the Crystal Springs Reservoir System and treat water for our wholesale customers. However, plant operations are occasionally shut down for designated short periods to allow for construction activities.　 Double shifts or 24-hour work are often required during these shut downs. The plant is scheduled to be back in service by mid-December and will be capable of drawing water from the Crystal Springs system following the winter rains.

Please call us at (866) 973-1476 if you have any questions or concerns.

Pile Driving 100% Complete!

We are pleased to report that the pile driving at the Harry Tracy Water Treatment Plant is finished. There will be no additional pile driving for this project.

The completed pile driving marks a significant milestone in the construction of the new 11 million gallon Treated Water Reservoir. The new reservoir will allow us to store treated water in a more seismically stable location within the plant.

Concrete pours for the new foundation will continue, with increased truck traffic on Crystal Springs Road in San Bruno. Pilot cars will escort trucks at all times.

Thank you to our Millbrae and San Bruno neighbors for bearing with us during these last three months of pile driving. Please do not hesitate to call us at (866) 973-1476 with any questions or concerns about the Harry Tracy construction.

Pile Driving Update: Rain Delay

Pile driving was suspended at the Harry Tracy Water Treatment Plant today due to rain. Necessary materials could not be delivered to the plant during the morning storm.

Approximately 20 piles remain to be driven (out of more than 800 since early August). Weather permitting, pile driving will resume on Tuesday, October 23^rd. Pile driving can take place during light showers, but not heavier rain. Rain is also forecast for Wednesday. However, with the small pile count remaining, we still expect pile driving to be completed this week.
