Jacobs to deliver $1 billion San Francisco wastewater upgrade through joint venture

Tom Meinhart, Executive Vice President of Jacobs

“Jacobs brings decades of experience delivering critical wastewater infrastructure projects for the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission, including upgrades at the Southeast Treatment Plant. Supported by our strong California presence and global technical leadership , our team understands the operational, regulatory and environmental drivers shaping treatment strategies in the region.”

Stephen Robinson, Assistant General Manager for Infrastructure at the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission

“This is a major investment to help protect San Francisco Bay by reducing nutrients in wastewater. San Francisco is doing its part to protect the health of the bay. This project, along with our new state-of-the-art treatment plant on Treasure Island, which also removes nutrients, demonstrates that commitment. The new treatment process will meet updated state and federal environmental requirements. This ambitious project will remake the heart of San Francisco’s largest treatment plant while that plant continues to operate, handling 80% of the city’s wastewater. Jacobs and PCL have worked with us on major wastewater projects before, and that experience will be critical as we take on a project of this size and complexity.”
