Stormwater schoolyards prioritize multi-purpose infrastructure that delivers stormwater performance while enhancing children’s learning and play opportunities. School districts are one of the largest land managers in every city across the United States. In California alone, more than 130,000 acres are managed by public school districts. San Francisco has identified schools as a critical partner to implementing green infrastructure citywide, understanding they provide a unique opportunity to manage stormwater while delivering significant co-benefits to students, teachers, and the community

The PureWaterSF project is a research project that explores how we can treat and reliably produce purified water on a small (building) scale using wastewater generated onsite. For this project, the SFPUC will be taking approximately 80% of the recycled water currently produced by the constructed wetland treatment system called the Living Machine™ at the SFPUC headquarters. The PureWaterSF process will further purify this water, bringing it to a level that is expected to meet or exceed drinking water standards. Data from this process will be collected and analyzed, and the water produced will

Welcome to the Discover Your Watershed Mapping Project of San Francisco Every person lives in a watershed. A watershed is an area of land from which all stormwater drain to a shared body of water. In San Francisco, we have eight distinct urban watersheds, three on the Westside where stormwater flows towards the Pacific Ocean, and five on the Bayside where stormwater flows towards the San Francisco Bay. This project is intended to help foster a connection between you and your watershed, a natural resource worth exploring. Click on the map to explore the past, present and future of our

Learn how our Biosolids program recycles nutrients from wastewater into a high quality fertilizer that helps reduce water use, pulls carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere, and improves California’s farm soils.
