THE BAYSIDE GARDENS PROJECT AND PROJECTED WATER DEMAND <br />As a potential new residential development of 500 housing units or more, the proposed project <br />meets the State criteria requiring the WSA. The Bayside Gardens Project consultant, BKF <br />Engineers, conveyed their project description to the Community Development Services <br />Department (CDS), including their indications of estimated water demand (Attachment 'A'). <br />Subsequently, CDS staff developed 'rough' estimates of water demand for five alternative land <br />uses for the project site (Attachment 'B'). Therefore, the future water demand at the Project <br />site has been estimated to be a range of -5.5 acre feet per year (AFIY) to +103.6 AFIY. <br />The demand estimated for this project and other planned development was included in the <br />Redwood City Water Use Forecast 2000 to 2020 (June 20, 2002) prepared by John Whitcomb, <br />Ph.D. (Attachment 'C'). In turn, the Water Use Forecast projections were included in the City's <br />UWMP as Appendix B. <br />4. WATER SUPPLY ANALYSIS <br />The City of Redwood City receives 100% of its potable water supply from the Hetch Hetchy <br />regional water system operated for the City and County of San Francisco by the San Francisco <br />Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC). Existing water supply entitlements, rights and/or water <br />service contracts relevant to this water supply are: <br />. 1984 Settlement Agreement and Master Water Sales Contract between Suburban <br /> Purchasers and the City and County of San Francisco <br />. Water Supply Contract between City and County of San Francisco and the City of <br /> Redwood City (August 1984) <br />Additionally, the Joint Powers Authority agreement establishing the South Bayside System <br />Authority (SBSA) wastewater treatment works provides that SBSA may produce and sell treated <br />wastewater effluent for potential reuse. SBSA has adopted a policy "To provide technical and <br />institutional leadership on all subjects related to recycled water and to pursue water recycling in <br />conjunction with the local water suppliers': SBSA and Redwood City are preparing a recycled <br />water agreement that will establish recycled water capacity rights and cost reimbursement <br />conditions. <br />Necessary regulatory approvals to deliver the SFPUC water supply are: <br />. State of Cal. Dept. of Health Services Water Supply Permit #4110022 and Engineer's <br /> Report <br /> Page 4 of 8 <br />
