We’re almost there!

If you haven’t already heard, the CSPL2 project is at the 85% completion mark! Originally built between the 1900s and 1930s, the Crystal Springs Pipeline No. 2 has been under construction in various San Mateo County cities since 2009. The new segments of pipe were installed and welded underground.

In Hillsborough, 2,500 feet of the total 3,000 feet of pipeline adjacent to Crystal Springs Road have now been replaced. Additionally in Daly City, all 2,400 feet of pipeline have been successfully replaced along Main Street and adjacent to the PG&E Martin Service Station.

Here are a couple more completed work areas as of September 2012.

• South San Francisco (Sites 13-16)
• Hillsborough (Sites 9 & 11)
• Most of El Camino Real

5-Day Road Closure: Crystal Springs Road at Polhemus Road 

Starting Monday, September 17 Crystal Springs Road, from Polhemus Road to Skyline Blvd. (Highway 35), will be closed for construction work. The road closure will be in effect through Friday, September 21. This short-term road closure is necessary as we improve your regional water delivery system, and will ensure the safety of the residents, motorists and bicyclists who use this roadway. 

The road is closed to motorists for 5 consecutive days, 24 hours a day, during this critical construction phase. Cyclists and runners only will have thru access on Crystal Springs Road during this road closure. This thru access to cyclists and runners will only be allowed from 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. 

Please note the Black Mountain Road exit is the only way to reach the southern trailhead of Sawyer Camp Trail from Hwy 280 during the 5-day road closure.

Water Pipeline Painting Coming to Brisbane

Starting Wednesday, Sept. 12, crews will begin minor construction to prepare for painting work on the CSPL2 pipeline off of San Bruno Avenue in Brisbane (near McLain Rd).

The contractor will be conducting preliminary work, including removing lead asbestos from the exterior of the pipeline. Once this work is complete, crews will begin painting the pipeline. The pipeline and work area will be covered by tarp material throughout the course of work and after work is completed at the end of each day. Dust control measures will be in place each day, especially during the pipe abatement work and the painting work that is anticipated to last 2 to 3 weeks.

Prior to work and during the course of this construction, environmental monitors will be onsite to ensure the contractor follows best practices and that all environmental-related controls are in place.

Following this work, a large tree adjacent to our pipeline will be removed because its roots are encroaching and could interfere with the regional water supply. To ensure environmental mitigation requirements are met, smaller shrubs will be installed around the work area.

Work is scheduled from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday.

Your water service will not be interrupted, and the contractor will abide by the local city noise ordinance.

 The work area is located near the highlighted area.
