Lower Crystal Spring Reservoir as viewed northwest from Highway 92/35.
The magnificent Roman style Pulgas Water Temple and pool is located at 56 Cañada Road, Redwood City,
CA 94062, and is only 0.9 mile north of Filoli Gardens on the same side of Cañada Road. The beautiful Pulgas
Water Temple was erected by the San Francisco Water Department to commemorate the 1934 completion of
the Hetch Hetchy Aqueduct and is located at the aqueduct's terminus.
San Francisco and surrounding communities get water from the Hetch Hetchy Reservoir which is inside
Yosemite National Park and approximately 160 miles away via the Hetch Hetchy Aqueduct. Water once made
the journey to the Pulgas Water Temple and flowed over a small C-shaped waterfall within the water temple
itself where it continued approximately 800 feet down a canal to the west into Upper Crystal Springs Reservoir.
The beautiful Pulgas Water Temple grounds is often rented for weddings or special events. It is closed on
weekends for private events such as wedding, but free and open to the public during the weekdays from 9AM
- 4PM. The small parking lot has a time limit of 30 minutes.
