What is the Pump Stations Project?
All SVCW pump stations require replacement or rehabilitation. The Menlo Park Pump Station will be rehabilitated; the Redwood City Pump Station will be replaced; the Belmont Pump Station will be rehabilitated; and, the San Carlos Pump Station is no longer needed due to the new gravity pipeline. Flows from San Carlos and Belmont will enter into the gravity pipeline via a drop structure at the current San Carlos pump station site. Flows from the Menlo Park Pump Station and the Redwood City Pump Station will flow through the new 48-inch force main to a drop structure at Inner Bair Island.

Last Updated October 2020
Shea Parsons Joint Venture (SPJV) is in the final stages of its design work for the Pump Station Improvement (PSI) project. Crews are preparing to mobilize at the various pump station sites to start the improvement work. SPJV will initially prepare the site by setting up trailers, mobilizing equipment to the laydown areas, and installing construction fencing as needed. The PSI team plans to carry out initial mobilization at the Redwood City Pump Station this month, as well as initiate demolition work within the pump station property.
