EDUCATION TOUR OVERVIEW Completed in 1972, the Harry Tracy Water Treatment Plant (HTWTP), formerly known as the San Andreas Water Treatment Plant, treats and delivers water stored in the Crystal Springs and San Andreas reservoirs to residents throughout the Northern Peninsula. Owned by the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) and located in San Mateo County, it is the only source providing emergency water to the San Francisco Peninsula. To meet increasing water demand and improve infrastructure resiliency, the HTWTP is undergoing an upgrade project, which is part of the larger $4.6 billion Water System Improvement Program (WSIP), focused on rehabilitating and expanding the 100-year-old Hetch Hetchy Regional Water System. The largest and most complex part of the project is the new 11-million-gallon treated water reservoir, capable of supplying up to 140 million gallons of emergency water per day. Supported by 88 columns, the reservoir is built to withstand earthquakes along the San Andreas Fault. The educational tour aims to bridge the gap between students and real-world engineering solutions, particularly in addressing water infrastructure challenges. The filtration system upgrade project involves demolishing the deteriorating plastic underdrains and replacing them with six large, modern stainless-steel water filters, similar to Brita pitcher filters. The interaction between attendees and the on-site project team during the field visit will not only promote awareness of the critical nature of the public utility system but also provide valuable opportunities for professional networking.
