Overview

The Hetch Hetchy Regional Water System (HHRWS) is working with the San Mateo County Fire Department and CalFIRE to reduce combustible fuels on the watershed. There is an annual training exercise when HHRWS, San Mateo County Fire and CalFIRE participate in a controlled burn exercise to familiarize themselves with each other's personnel and operating procedures while working to reduce combustible fuels.

Construction Start: Week of September 19, 2022
Project Phase: Construction

Project Background

The contractor working for the Hetch Hetchy Regional Water System will use large equipment to masticate, or mulch, the vegetation into small chunks. This reduces the amount of combustible fuels – vegetation – adjacent to homes.

At a later date CalFIRE will engage in tree cutting and clearing of vegetation along the hill sides where use of large, mechanized equipment is not possible. This portion of the project will commence following the end of the 2022 Fire Season.
SFPUC, CalFIRE and contractors will work to minimize disturbance to normal neighborhood activity as much as possible. There will be road delays, as well as noticeable noise and dust from this project. The days of work will be September 19-23 and the hours of work will be from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
