The San Francisco Public Utlities Commission presented an award in recognition of S. J. Amoroso's committment to safety on the Sutro Reservoir Rehabilitation and Seismic Upgrade Project. Since April 2009, construction projects reached seven million working hours on the Water System Improvement Program (WSIP) without major injury.

Originally completed in 1953, Sutro Reservoir is the third largest reservoir in the City of San Francisco and adjacent to numerous fault lines. Seismic enhancements were required to ensure uninterrupted operations in the event of a major earthquake. The construction project included strengthening the reservoir roof and supporting structures, as well as upgrading the existing foundation. In addition to the seismic upgrades, Amoroso was responsible for other structural, mechanical, civil, electrical and security upgrades.
