26 SEWER SYSTEM IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM | Grey. Green. Clean. Mariposa Pump Station Originally built in 1954, the Mariposa Pump Station is a dry-weather pump station that pumps wastewater from the surrounding Mission Bay area to the Southeast Treatment Plant for treatment. The Mariposa Dry-Weather Pump Station and Force Main Improvements Project will demolish the existing pump station and construct a new pump station at the same location; and will replace the existing dry-weather force main with a larger force main to accommodate the full buildout of the Mission Bay community, the new Chase Center, and planned population growth in the Potrero Hill neighborhood. These facilities are critical components of San Francisco’s wastewater operations, and these upgrades will allow us to meet the SSIP LOS goals, including the latest seismic standards and sea level rise requirements for San Francisco. By completing these projects, SFPUC will continue to offer reliable and high- quality sewer services to all who live, work, and play in San Francisco. Leading up to the start of construction in early 2019, project staff has been coordinating and will continue to coordinate with the local residents and businesses, other City agencies, and private contractors who are constructing projects in the nearby areas.
