8�- ►oo City of Redwood City Recycled Water Task Force Report March 3, 2004 would pay less for the recycled water than potable water, the other water conveyor would gain some part of the potable water demand reduction achieved, and the City would gain the other part of the potable water demand reduction achieved as well as income from the sale of the recycled water). The water exchange could be easily facilitated and tracked through existing pipeline infrastructure. The Task Force recommends that the City initiate discussions with other water conveyors to gauge interest in swapping the City's recycled water for potable water. Interest in this swap may increase as the 2009 expiration of water sales contracts with the SFPUC approaches. 3.2.9. OPM #9 — Evaluate Emerging Automated Landscape Irrigation Technology The Task Force recommends that the City continue to evaluate innovations in automated landscape inigation technology. The City should promote promising water-saving technology. 3.2.10. OPM #l0 — Evaluate Emerging Treatment Technology The Task Force recommends that the City keep abreast of advances in wastewater treatment technology. If a treatment technology with the potential to address residents' safety concerns emerges, the City should initiate public discussions to gauge public acceptance of recycled water treated with this technology. If public reaction is favorable, the City could then broaden the market for recycled water. 4.
