A. Water Recycling Feasibility Study; Director Public Works Services Director Ingrain explained that the current water sales are exceeding the contractual supply assurance from San Francisco by around 1,000 acre-feet per year. One of the benefits of doing the project is that it would bring the total demand back down to the supply assurance for the purpose of managing water in the City. Another major benefit of the project is that it does reduce risks and protects investments during the next drought. He stated that if the project were implemented, it essentially would drought proof Redwood Shores because the water supply would not need to be reduced in the face of a drought. There is plenty of recycled water even in a drought and in a larger context, it protects all of the customers because it increases the reliability of the system. A more detailed report was given utilizing a PowerPoint slide presentation. Council Members asked various questions.
