It is located in the southeastern portion of the city in the Bayview-Hunters Point neighborhood.
Southeast is the city's primary treatment plant handling about 80% of the city's wastewater from the eastern two-thirds of the city's residents. The maximum treatment plant capacity is 250 million US gallons (950,000 m3) per day, with the average daily dry weather flow of 60 million US gallons (230,000 m3).
