For more than 120 years, the Richmond District’s water and sewer systems have served the neighborhood and beyond. With many of the sewer pipes and water pipes installed in the late 1800s, it was time for a modern upgrade to ensure Richmond District residents and businesses have clean, reliable drinking water and flushing toilets for the next century.
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. In late 2026, the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) will join the project to add above-ground pedestrian safety and bus improvements along the two-mile corridor to make it safer and easier for people to get where they’re going.
By tackling this $50 million sewer and water project all at once, we aim to minimize community disruptions while making the upgrades the Richmond District needs for reliable water and sewer service.
