Residents of Menlo Park and North Fair Oaks concerned about the impacts constructing a large water pipeline in the Hetch Hetchy right of way are invited to a community meeting Wednesday, Oct. 29, at 7 p.m. at Home of Christ Church, 71 Bay Road.
The new pipeline would lie adjacent to two existing pipes that bring drinking water from the Sierra under San Francisco Bay to customers on the Peninsula. It will connect with a new tunnel under the Bay that will replace two aging pipelines between Newark and East Palo Alto.
The Bay Division pipeline project is part of the San Francisco Public Utility Commission’s massive effort to upgrade its aging water system to be reliable and able to resist earthquakes.
Construction of the new pipeline should not affect trees, according the PUC announcement. However, it may affect parking and traffic along Bay Road, and access to Flood Park for a brief period during the winter of 2010.
For information, contact Christina Kerby at 1-800-571-6610 or baydivision@sfwater.org.
