Underground Flow Equalization System

UFES Schedule Update – September 6, 2022

UFES Project Schedule for September 6 – September 19, 2022

We’re making great construction progress toward pollution prevention in San Mateo. Last year’s rainy season reminded all of us why our 10-year, $1 billion Clean Water Program is so essential to the future of our City.

One of the most important projects in the program is our Underground Flow Equalization System (UFES).

As a follower to this newsletter, you already know that construction is underway on our UFES at the County Event Center. Once completed, our UFES will eventually be the underground 5.3-million-gallon structure that will temporarily hold excess wastewater during storms.

The following construction work is planned for the UFES project from Sept. 6 through Sept. 19, 2022. (Please note, schedules can change. We will issue this update biweekly throughout 2022):

  • Inside the Event Center Site: additional concrete pours requiring after-hours approval
  • S. Delaware Street: equipment installation and removal related to pipeline work will continue
  • Saratoga Drive: Saratoga Drive, in the vicinity of the San Mateo County Event Center and other UFES project activities, is expected to remain open through late Summer 2022. Future construction activities will require lane closures.

Alerts will be sent via newsletter and text message ahead of work requiring traffic updates, work hour changes, or expected to generate excess noise at the Event Center site.
