Sunol Valley Water Treatment Plant Short-Term Improvements Project

The Sunol Valley Water Treatment Plant (SVWTP) is located in the Sunol Valley of Alameda County. The existing treatment plant employs a conventional treatment process that includes pH/alkalinity adjustment, pre-oxidation, coagulation/flash mix, powder activated carbon (PAC), flocculation, sedimentation, filtration, disinfection, and fluoridation with a sustainable capacity of 160 million gallons per day (mgd). The SVWTP Short-Term Improvements Project is a collaborative design effort between SFPUC Engineering Management Bureau (EMB) and a Consultant Design Team. The treatment process components were assessed by a previous team and categorized the necessary repairs into two projects: Short-Term and Long-Term Improvements. The Short-Term project includes a variety of critical treatment components in need of repair, replacement and upgrades.
