The process of replacing water and sewer mains involves multiple steps, so construction will not occur continuously. Crews will need to return to the same block several times to work, often with months between visits. Learn more about the water main installation process at sfpuc.gov/NewWaterMains.
Local access for residents will be maintained at all times during work hours, though there may be some slight delay to enter or exit your property/driveway to allow for crews to create a safe path of travel.
Street parking will be temporarily restricted in the project area during construction hours. Please see posted signs for exact workdays, hours, and locations.
There will be noise, vibration, dust, and temporary traffic impacts in the work zone.
