The San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) is a department of the City and County of San Francisco that provides water, wastewater, and municipal power services to San Francisco.  The SFPUC system provides four distinct services: Regional Water, Local Water, Wastewater (collection, treatment and disposal), and Power.

Completed in 1993, the Oceanside Plant is the SFPUC’s newest treatment facility. The Oceanside Plant treats an average dry weather flow of about 17 million gallons a day and has a total capacity of 65 million gallons during wet weather all from the west side of the City. Treated wastewater is discharged from the plant 4.5 miles to the Pacific Ocean through the Southwest Ocean Outfall.

In 2004, Oceanside Plant was awarded the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's "Plant of the Year" Award over similar-sized treatment plants around the nation.
