Various Locations Pavement Renovation and Sewer Replacement No. 60

San Francisco Public Works has contracted with Precision Engineering Inc. to install new sewer utilities and renovate the roadway at various locations in San Francisco as part of the Various Locations Pavement Renovation and Sewer Replacement Project No. 60 (VL60). We will be performing this work in the Pacific Heights, Anza Vista, Western Addition, Cathedral Hill, Telegraph Hill, Inner Sunset and Outer Sunset neighborhoods.

We have inspected the sewer facilities of all the blocks listed below, and will be replacing those that we found to be cracked and/or broken. Replacing these pipes now will prevent possible collapse of the sewer mains and pavement in the future. Sewer service will not be interrupted during the construction.

This project will include sewer main replacement, curb ramp installation, street base repairs and repaving. Work hours will vary by location, however, typical working hours are 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Weekend work is allowed but has not been scheduled at this time.
