The Council charged the Task Force with the "goal to identify 1,946 acre-feet per year of potable water demand reductions by 2010, in a financially feasible manner, that avoids using recycled water at schoolyards, parks, and playgrounds". The Task Force completed their work in -. March 2004 and unanimously recommended that the City implement an alternative that through a combination of recycled water use, replacement of natural turf playing fieldswith synthetic turf, continued use of groundwater at Sequoia High School, ~nd additional water conservation programs, achieves an estimated 2,002 acre feet per year of potable water demand reductions. The City Council accepted the Task Force Report and directed staff to return with various implementation actions for their consideration. The Redwood City Recycled Water Project will be implemented in phases and smaller, discrete projects over the next several years, beginning with some recycled water delivery in the 2006 irrigation season. The initial service area will include commercial portions of Redwood Shores and the Greater Bayfront area, with future expansion possible into Central Redwood City. The major components of the Project are: 1. Treatment improvements consisting of filter modifications, chemical feed addition and filtered water line at the SBSA site - owned and operated by SBSA 2. Disinfection facility consisting of new chlorine contact chamber at the SBSA site - owned by Redwood City, operated by SBSA 3.
