Project to protect Bay Area drinking water from wildfires to begin
In an effort to protect the drinking water source for one million Bay Area residents from destructive wildfires, crews will soon work to masticate vegetation on Maple Way around watershed lands. In collaboration with Cal Fire, the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission, who oversees the SFPUC Peninsula Watershed, will hire contractors to mulch vegetation into small pieces. Reducing the size of vegetation growth will limit the risk of extreme fire around the watershed, the Edgewood County Park and surrounding private property, said Cal Fire.
