Clean Water Program completion and final budget
San Mateo
Summary
San Mateo's decade-long, ~$1.035 billion sewer and wastewater overhaul is nearly done, coming in only 4.4% over the 2017 estimate — remarkable for a project this size. A $5.9 million increase for the treatment plant lands in the FY 2026-27 budget, but the approved 5-year sewer rate schedule stays intact thanks to low-interest state and federal loans.
