The North Point Facility has been in operation since 1951. It is located on Bay Street and the Embarcadero near lower Telegraph Hill and the North Waterfront. The facility provides primary-level treatment of wastewater collected in the north part of the City during storms. The facility has a treatment capacity of 150 million gallons a day. Treated effluent is discharged to San Francisco Bay. The facility operates during wet weather and currently treats about 1,300 million gallons a year, on average.
The Problem
The facility is old and interim improvements are in progress now. It also treats waste only during wet weather.
