Front of Plant Project

Last Updated July 2024

SVCW’s contractor partner, Shea Parsons Joint Venture (SPJV), heads towards completion of the Front of Plant (FoP) project. In May 2024, the FoP project reached substantial completion, which is a contractual milestone. Work is currently ongoing to address punch list items and a 30-day acceptance test began this month at the San Carlos Pump Station. This process will help ensure that the new system meets design criteria and applicable standards. 

SVCW hosted a RESCU Ribbon Cutting Ceremony on May 13, 2024 at the FoP site, to commemorate the successful completion of the FoP project and celebrate the achievements of its member agencies.
