7 Project Description The developer of the proposed Kaiser Hospital Campus Expansion Project, Kaiser Permanente, conveyed their indications of estimated water demand in a letter dated October 14, 2002 to Peter Ingram, Public Works Services Director (Attachment 'A'). Aisc attached is Redwood City Kaiser Permanente Campus Expansion - Water Use Compared to Projected Demand dated October 18, 2002, prepared by Public Works Services staff (Attachment 'B'). 3. THE KAISER HOSPITAL CAMPUS EXPANSION PROJECT AND PROJECTED WATER DEMAND The Kaiser Hospital Campus Expansion Project is a planned development located on Veterans Blvd. It is to consist of approximately 931,300 square feet of building floor area, an increase of 606,300 square feet over the current 325,000 square feet, or a 187% increase in total floor area. The future water use at the Project has been estimated by the developer, Kaiser Permanente, to be 127 acre feet per year (AFfY) or an average of 44.3 gallons per square foot per year, per Attachment 'A'. This would be a net increase in water demand of 49 AF/Y, or 62% above current average demand. The future water use at the Project has been estimated by Public Works Services to be 223 AF/Y or an average of 78.2 gallons per square foot per year, per Attachment 'B'. This would be a net increase in water demand of 145 AF/Y, or 187% above current average demand. The demand estimated for this project was not explicitly included in the Redwood City Water Use Forecast 2000 to 2020 (June 20, 2002) prepared by John Whitcomb, Ph.D. (Attachment 'C'). In turn, the Water Use Forecast projections were not included in the City's UWMP, Revision No. 1 by amendment through City Council Resolution No. 14459 adopted on July 15, 2002. 4. WATER SUPPLY ANALYSIS The City' of Redwood City receives 100% of its potable water supply from the Hetch Hetchy regional water system operated for the City and County of San Francisco by the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC). Existing water supply entitlements, rights and/or water service contracts relevant to this water supply ara: · 1984 Settlement Agreement and Master Water Sales Contract between Suburban Purchasers and the City and County of San Francisco · Water Supply Contract between City and County of San Francisco and the City of Redwood City (August 1984) Additionally, the Joint Powers Authority agreement establishing the South Bayside System Authority (SBSA) wastewater treatment works provides that SBSA may produce and sell treated wastewater effluent for potential reuse. SBSA has adopted a policy "To provide technical and institutional leadership on all subjects related to recycled water and to pursue water recycling in conjunction with the local water suppliers". SBSA and Redwood City are preparing a recycled water agreement that will establish recycled water capacity rights and cost reimbursement conditions. Necessary regulatory approvals to deliver the SFPUC water supply are: · State of Cal. Dept. of Health Services Water Supply Permit #4110022 and Engineer's Report Page 4 of 9
