Committee recommends acceptance of four Treasure Island/Yerba Buena sanitary pump stations
Summary
The Land Use and Transportation Committee voted to send an ordinance to the full Board recommending the City accept four sanitary sewer pump stations built as part of the Treasure Island/Yerba Buena Island development; SFPUC would own and operate the stations once acceptance is final.
The Land Use and Transportation Committee of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors voted to recommend that the full Board accept four sanitary sewer pump stations built as part of the Treasure Island and Yerba Buena Island development, the committee chair said March 10.
The ordinance before the committee (BOS file no. 250098) would accept the Bruton and Cravath pump stations on Treasure Island and the McCullough and Northgate pump stations on Yerba Buena Island for public use, designate them for utility purposes, accept the infrastructure for city maintenance and liability, approve a grant deed for the McCullough pump station and adopt CEQA and planning findings.
Desmond Chan, project manager in Public Works' infrastructure task force, told the committee the four pump stations are constructed and currently operating under a pre-acceptance license agreement between the subdivider (Treasure Island Community Development/TIDA) and the City, acting through the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC). “We are requesting acceptance of this public infrastructure for public use,” Chan said.
Chan said the pump stations were the last outstanding infrastructure items from the Stage 1 acceptance for the project. Public Works previously brought streets, sidewalks, curb ramps, landscaping and underground utilities into City maintenance under BOS file no. 231245 in February 2024. He said the project to date has delivered 974 residential units and that later phases anticipate roughly 2,000 units in Stage 1 and further phases that could bring the development’s total to about 8,000 homes.
TIDA director Bob Beck and SFPUC staff recommended formal acceptance so the pre-acceptance operating license can end and ownership and operation can transfer to the City through SFPUC, Chan said. Photos of completed pump stations were shown during the presentation; Chan said final punch-list items had been completed and the stations were ready for formal acceptance.
Chair Supervisor Mirna Melgar moved to send the ordinance to the full Board with a positive recommendation. The clerk recorded aye votes from Vice Chair Cheyenne Chen, a member recorded as Mokman, and Melgar; the motion passed.
The committee’s recommendation now goes to the Board of Supervisors for consideration on the March 18, 2025 agenda, unless otherwise stated in the ordinance.
