Thank you for joining us for the Grand Opening and Ribbon Cutting Ceremony for the Regional Environmental Sewer Conveyance Upgrade (RESCU) Program! This ceremony marked a significant milestone in our efforts toward environmental stewardship and infrastructure enhancement in the region.

Despite challenges such as COVID-19, the project was completed on time and within budget, thanks to innovative project delivery methods and safety protocols. The project's highlights include its environmental and economic benefits, as well as its regional impact and sustainability.

We extend our gratitude to our partners, without whom we could not have achieved this goal set nearly 10 years ago, from planning to construction.

recently won four national awards from the Design-Build Institute of America for its innovative $264 million Gravity Pipeline Project, which rehabilitated and converted our 50-year-old raw wastewater force-main conveyance system to a state-of-the-art gravity conveyance system with minimal community and environmental impact. The first award for this project, which is anticipated to be done seven weeks early and several million dollars under budget, was Best in Design (Engineering), recognized as an outstanding feat of engineering while also considering public safety and long-term sustainability. The project team implemented numerous innovative technical solutions that allowed construction to finish early, below budget, and with environmental benefits.

🎉 We are incredibly pleased to share that we just received a grant from CalRecycle! 🎉

We have been hard at work with our sister agency, RethinkWaste, embarking upon many initiatives related to organics co-digestion efforts. The intention of the grant is to build new and expand existing food waste co-digestion projects. This grant will fund enhancements to our food waste receiving facility that will, in turn, improve operations of both Silicon Valley Clean Water and South Bayside Waste Management Authority!

Drum roll, please...we got the full amount we applied for - $4 million!

Our Front of Plant project builds a preliminary treatment system for SVCW. This means that the large inorganic material found in wastewater will be screened out in our new bar screens. This is soon followed by a new grit removal system where grit, sand, and rocks will be removed prior to entering the primary treatment process. These preliminary treatment processes are typical in most wastewater treatment plants but SVCW never enjoyed these systems before the Front of Plant project.

Progress continues on all three project elements of RESCU and we are able to see light at the end of the tunnel! What does this mean (with pun removed)? This year, we will have two of the three project elements completed. SVCW staff is ramping up for startup activities that will occur this summer and fall and water will flow through the gravity pipeline, receiving lift station, and headworks. So exciting!

Please dive into the respective project pages to read more about progress and to see cool pictures and videos of construction activities.
