The Water <br />System Master Plan forecasts water system improvements necessary to accommodate water demand by <br />new development and redevelopment activities anticipated by the City's General Plan; analyzes and <br />identifies improvements for reliable performance during normal and emergency conditions, such as fires <br />and earthquakes; and prioritizes capital improvements to the system for the next 20 years. <br />One of the major improvements to the water system is to replace a water tank and its supporting pump <br />station and water mains in the Emerald Hills water service areas to provide additional storage capacity to <br />meet established needs during normal operations and in emergency situations for the Easter Bowl, Easter <br />Cross, and California pressure zones. <br />City of Redwood City 1017 Middlefield Road, Redwood City, CA. 940631 el: 650-780-7000 www.redwoodcity.org <br />123 <br />
