Did you know that San Francisco’s largest wastewater treatment plant is located in the Bayview? Did you know that an invisible network of 1000+ pipes carries 80% of San Francisco’s sewer and stormwater to this unique location in the Bayview?

San Francisco’s Southeast Treatment Plant (SEP) is an inner-city facility about to undergo operational improvements and upgrades worth $2 billion as part of the $6.9 billion Sewer System Improvement Program (SSIP). Take a walk through the treatment plant and understand the basic concepts behind San Francisco’s combined sewer system and become aware of the planned technological improvements that will transform this facility into a state of the art resource recovery campus.
