-22- <br />The Water Supply Agreement contains a rate setting formula that allocates the cost of <br />operating the Regional Water System among San Francisco and the suburban water purchasers <br />based on their respective water deliveries. This formula, together with the actual amount of <br />water deliveries to the City, determines the amount that the City pays under the Water Supply <br />Agreement. The City anticipates that its cost of acquiring water from San Francisco will increase <br />in the future as the SFPUC continues to implement the WISP. See “RISK FACTORS – Wholesale <br />Water Costs.” <br /> <br />Water Conservation Program <br /> <br />In order to address the Enterprise’s water supply concerns, the City has developed an <br />extensive water conservation program. This conservation program includes several of the best <br />management practices developed by the California Urban Water Conservation Council <br />(www.cuwcc.org). The City projects that this conservation program will reduce water use by <br />customers of the Enterprise by 1,459 AFY by 2020. <br /> <br />Water Storage and Distribution System <br /> <br />General. The Enterprise’s distribution system consists of distribution mains, 12 storage <br />facilities, 10 pump stations, and 26 pressure reducing valves ranging from 2 to 6 inches in <br />diameter. <br /> <br />Water Storage Facilities. The Enterprise’s 12 storage facilities range in size from 0.09 <br />million gallons to 4.00 million gallons with a total storage capacity of 21.24 million gallons. <br />Typically, the storage tanks are filled to 50% of capacity, which would provide two days’ <br />supply to the customers of the Enterprise in an emergency situation. <br /> <br />Table 6 <br />Existing Potable Water Storage Facilities <br /> <br />Pressure Zone Storage Facility <br />Capacity <br />(million gallons) <br />Easter Cross Easter Cross – 1 Tank 0.10 <br />Easter Bowl Easter Bowl – 1 Tank 1.20 <br />Glenloch Glenloch – 1 Tank 0.09 <br />Wilmington South Wilmington – 1 Tank 0.25 <br />Cambridge Cambridge – 2 Tanks 0.65 <br />Lakeview Lakeview – 1 Reservoir 1.00 <br />Main City Zone Sequoia – 2 Tanks 8.00 <br />Main City Zone Reservoir Carson – 1 3.75 <br />Redwood Shores Peninsula 1 – 1 Tank 3.20 <br />Redwood Shores Peninsula 2 – 1 Tank 3.00 <br />Total Domestic 21.24 <br /> <br />Source: City of Redwood City Public Works Services Department (“A Technical Report on the City Water Storage <br />Capability” and Redwood City Pressure Zone Map). <br /> <br />In addition, the Enterprise has storage for 5.2 million gallons of recycled water at the <br />SVCW site. <br /> <br />8.C. - Page 47
