Oceanside Treatment Plant
Located next to the San Francisco Zoo, the Oceanside Treatment Plant is responsible
for treating 20% of the City’s wastewater on the Westside.
The Oceanside Treatment Plant (OSP) requires
renovations to maintain efficient operation, improve
seismic reliability, and to extend the useful life of
the equipment. As a result of the bids received
in December 2018, the Westside Pump Station
Reliability Improvements project design team is
revisiting the project to optimize the scope to best fit
within the available project budget. Construction is
anticipated to begin Summer 2020.
The Digester Gas Utilization Upgrade Project began
construction in winter 2018, replacing and upgrading
the existing outdated biogas energy recovery
system at OSP. Biogas, the natural byproduct from
the wastewater treatment process, provides a
100% renewable alternative energy source to fossil-
fuel that helps co-generate electrical power and
produce hot water required for the plant wastewater
treatment processes.
