Nunes Water Treatment Plant Improvement Project
The District has completed upgrades to its Nunes Water Treatment Plant in Half Moon Bay, California. There were numerous improvements made during the 3 years, which included the following main items of work: a new plate settler sedimentation basin, a new caustic soda storage tank, site improvements, filter improvements, clearwell improvements, and electrical/instrumentation improvements. These upgrades provide operational redundancy and efficiency at the treatment plant, so that it has backups in case of equipment failure, allowing for quick restoration of normal operations without significant disruptions to water service.

Magellan/Highway 1 and Alameda Avenue Pipeline Restoration Projects
Magellan/Highway 1 Portion of the Project
Approximately 475 linear feet of existing 10-inch cast iron pipe was lined with Primus Line, a flexible fabric pipeline liner. This process was performed using the Primus slip lining technique, which avoided causing any disruptions on Highway 1 and the Coastal Trail, and saving the District $2M+ in pipeline replacement costs using traditional methods.
Alameda Avenue Portion of the Project
Around 175 linear feet of the existing 10-inch welded steel pipeline were lined with Primus Line, a flexible fabric pipeline liner.
