Project Background

On August 23rd, 2021 SFPUC crews were fixing a leaking air valve on a 54-inch pipeline when the air valve casing failed. Water spewed into air and into adjacent areas, including Stern Grove.

The SFPUC deployed several emergency contracts to clear debris, remove hazard trees, dry out and restore any damaged structures, and stabilize the hillside beneath the break.

Working closely with the San Francisco Recreation and Parks Department as well as the Stern Grove Festival Association, the area was reopened to the public for the 2022 festival season. Additional slope stabilization work is ongoing.
