STRATEGIC PLAN GUIDING PRINCIPLE Sustainability BACKGROUND The Potable Reuse Exploratory Plan (PREP) is an effort initiated by the Bay Area Water Supply and Conservation Agency (BAWSCA), California Water Service Company (Cal Water), the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC), and Silicon Valley Clean Water (SVCW) in November 2016 to study potable reuse opportunities in the Mid -Peninsula region. During the course of this study, the City of Redwood City and the City of San Mateo expressed interest in participating in the study to investigate potable reuse opportunities in the region. Together, the PREP parties recognize that regional collaboration offers opportunities to address multiple water supply and wastewater challenges, while realizing the benefits of shared infrastructure, asset recovery, economies of scale, and a more competitive strategy to pursue funding, in addition to enhancing regional self-reliance through integrated water management.
