The City of San Mateo’s Clean Water Program is making significant improvements to the City’s sewer infrastructure. Construction of the wastewater treatment plant upgrade and expansion project is making great progress. Phase 1 of the upgrade and expansion of its wastewater treatment plant on Detroit Drive is complete. Phase 2 began in summer 2020 and included Stage 1 pile driving activities to build the foundation. We are progressing to Phase 2 Stage 2 pile driving activities in July 2021 to structurally secure the expanded, state-of-the-art facility, located near Seal Point Park in the Shoreview neighborhood.

The upcoming work will include heavy construction, and pile driving will result in noise. The Virtual Community Meeting on June 15, 2021 at 6 p.m. will provide the project’s progress to date and details of the pile driving, including construction schedules and what the community can expect for noise levels.

The meeting will begin at 6 p.m. with a presentation, followed by live Q&A. The meeting will be recorded, and video will be made available after the meeting. You can subscribe to receive WWTP project updates to stay informed about the construction as it progresses.
