Stern Grove Emergency Repairs

Completed December 2023!

Background

On August 23, 2021, San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) crews were fixing a leaking air valve on a 54-inch pipeline when the air valve casing failed. Water spewed into air and into adjacent areas, including Sigmund Stern Grove.

SFPUC undertook a series of emergency contracts to repair damage done. This included removal of debris, restoration of any buildings damaged by mud and water, and stabilization of the hillside.

Budget Approximately $4 million
