Initially constructed in 1968, it has since expanded its service and treatment capacity greatly. It has grown from 10 MGD of treatment to 38 MGD as of 2016. It has also begun supplying water to both Lake Oswego and Tigard, Oregon. The plant is also designed for energy renewability and efficiency as a result of this expansion. It also has improved structuring to endure seismic events, and is capable of serving from a back-up water source in case of an emergency.

Location: San Francisco, CA
Size: Treatment Capacity of 17 to 65 MGD
This water plant which treats 20% of wastewater from San Francisco is unique in that it is one of the few plants in the entirety of the United States to nearly be built entirely underground. During dry seasons, it is capable of treating 17 MGD, but will skyrocket to 65 MGD during wetter seasons. The plant has many awards, winning the Large Plant of the Year Award in 2003 and the US Environmental Protection Agency National Clean Water Act Recognition Award for operations and maintenance excellence in 2004.

This water treatment serves a critical role for its community in providing recycled water, leading to a design focusing on renewability and efficiency. It’s because of these design choices that it has little to no negative impacts to St. Vrain Creek. In 2019, construction started on a renewable natural gas fueling station, which runs a pipeline to a second site on city property, specifically at the northwest corner of South Martin Street.
