those required in neighboring communities. Initial inquiries by the City of other agencies <br /> has not produced any affirmative responses. It is not possible to rely on this potential <br /> source unless and until contracts are signed with one or more other BAWUA agencies. <br /> <br /> · Securing water from willing sellers outside the BAWUA service area is theoretically <br /> possible. State laws enacted in the 1980s allow for "wheeling" of water from willing ' <br /> sellers to willing buyers through transmission systems owned by third parties - such as <br /> the SFPUC's San Joaquin pipelines. This is a more complex process and one which <br /> would require not only a contract with a water supplier (such as an irrigation agency), <br /> but also approval by the SFPUC. <br /> <br /> Finally, the SFPUC has adopted a Water Supply Master Plan (2000) and a Capital <br /> Improvement Program (2002) which, if implemented Successfully, may increase SFPUC's ability <br /> to meet demands of its wholesale water customers such as Redwood City more reliably, and <br /> possibly expand supply to meet their projected future demands. The CIP is also intended to <br /> strengthen the San Francisco regional water supply system against catastrophic failure during a <br /> severe earthquake. The cost of implementing the Water Supply Master Plan and the CIP is <br /> high and there are significant uncertainties about the schedule on which the work can be <br /> accomplished. This WSA does not assume that Redwood City can expect to receive increased <br /> water deliveries from San Francisco, on a reliable basis, dudng the next 10-20 years. <br /> <br />8.
