Residents and businesses along 20 blocks of Geary Boulevard in the Richmond now have new water and sewer pipes to reduce the risk of breaks, ensure reliable service, and improve seismic safety.
$1 million will be dedicated to the Sunset Boulevard Recycled Water Project. The improvements, designed by Public Works, will replace potable water supplied for irrigation with highly treated recycled water that exceeds state standards
In January 2025, the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) began construction to modernize the Richmond District’s water and sewer infrastructure along Geary Boulevard from 32nd Avenue to Stanyan Street.
For more than 120 years, the Richmond District’s water and sewer infrastructure system has served the neighborhood and beyond. With one of the sewer pipes dating back to 1877 and most water pipes installed in the late 1800s, these hardworking systems even withstood the trauma of the 1906 earthquake and fire.
