<br />¿:/¿"~7 <br /> <br />OPM #9: Evaluate Emerging Automated Landscape Irrigation <br /> <br />Technology <br /> <br />Recommendation: Continue to stay abreast of new automated landscape irrigation technology <br />and promote promising technologies to water customers. <br /> <br />2.2.9 <br /> <br />Status: City staff continues to attend workshops and stay abreast of emerging technology that <br />uses weather-based irrigation controllers. The California Urban Water Conservation Council is <br />administering a State-wide weather-based irrigation controller study program to evaluate <br />emerging technologies and their potential water savings; the Council's report is projected to be <br />completed in 2007. <br /> <br />Work Plan Next Steps: City staff and consultants will monitor studies and new information. <br /> <br />2.2.1 0 <br /> <br />OPM #10: Evaluate Emerging Treatment Technology <br /> <br />Recommendation: Continue to evaluate advances in wastewater treatment technologies for the <br />potential to address residents' safety concerns. If a suitable new technology emerges, initiate <br />public discussions to gauge public acceptance of recycled water treated with this technology. <br /> <br />Status: The facilities under construction at SBSA will enable SBSA to produce and deliver to the <br />City disinfected tertiary recycled water suitable for unrestricted use as defined by Title 22 of the <br />California Code of Regulations. The City will continue to keep abreast of advances in treatment <br />technology in the event that a feasible system emerges that could enhance water quality and <br />further address the community's safety concerns with regards to using recycled water where <br />children play. <br /> <br />Work Plan Next Steps: SBSA and City staff will complete work on a Cryptosporidium monitoring <br />protocol and return to the City Council with recommendations within the next few months, well <br />ahead of the completion of construction of treatment facilities at SBSA. City staff will also <br />monitor progress on several new research projects funded by the WateReuse Foundation and <br />continue monitoring related industry literature. And finally, opportunities for future pilot project <br />partnerships with private-sector vendors and/or manufacturers of emerging technologies will be <br />pursued by the City. <br /> <br />Redwood City Recycled Water Project <br />Progress Report 2005 <br />Redwood City Recycled Water Task Force Recommendations - Final Report <br />p:\pw-projI2OO4\0468025 rwc recycled ,e!ro1it & support svcltask 11 program supportltask force status reporllfinal 'eportlprogress report on ~ recommendations_Mal.doc <br /> <br />Page 19 <br />
