~ /d- .s Preface The Redwood City Recycled Water Project Team is pleased to submit the 2005 Progress Report to the City Council and the Redwood City community. We hope readers will find the report useful and informative. When the Recycled Water Task Force reported to the City Council in March 2004, one of the recommendations made was that City staff assigned to the project should prepare annual reports on progress toward implementing project "Alternative TF". This recommendation and all the others in the Task Force Report were accepted unanimously and with gratitude by the Council. In May and June of 2005, project team members met with members of the Task Force for the purpose of affirming that the format and structure of this report would meet Task Force expectations: We wanted to be sure to get it right the first time and wanted to honor the hard work of the Task Force. On behalf of the project team, I would like to thank the Task Force for their input, ideas, and good, hard questions. Their continued interest and collective critical eye is value added to the project and the City's continuing efforts to meet long-term water supply and conservation goals. In the course of the discussions, it became clear that there are several ways for Task Force members to stay engaged in the evolving water supply conversation in our community: . The project team will be pleased to host an annual meeting for the purpose of going over a draft of the annual progress report to Council before if gets finalized and sent on. . If the scope, intent or reach of the project begins to change in response to external factors, problems, or opportunities, this will trigger a gathering of the Task Force for the purpose of providing input to the project team and ultimately, the Council. Specifically: a Changes in water supply I conservation strategy related to recycled water a Cost increases a New technologies a New opportunities for expanded use of recycled water - both inside Redwood City and in surrounding communities a Changes in pipeline alignments I customers a Water supply vis-à-vis downtown development .
