Clarendon Emergency Firefighting Water System Upgrade

San Francisco Emergency Firefighting Water System is vital for protecting against the loss of life, as well as the loss of homes and businesses by providing an additional layer of fire protection. The system is also used throughout the year for the suppression of multiple-alarm fires. The 5 project locations are:

• Clarendon Avenue and Twin Peaks Boulevard
• Clarendon Avenue and Dellbrook Avenue
• Clarendon Avenue and Christopher Drive
• Clarendon Avenue and Olympia Way
• Palo Alto Avenue and La Avenzada Street

For the Clarendon Avenue and Dellbrook site there are several trees which are being removed for the proper placement of the pipeline and valves. The SFPUC is paying an in lieu fee to the Public Works Urban Forestry department to plant the same number of trees in other locations.
