<br />6.28 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />WHEREAS, it is the policy of the City that recycled water shall be used for <br />nonpotable uses within the designated Recycled Water Service Area. <br /> <br />NOW THEREFORE, THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF REDWOOD CITY DOES <br />ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: <br /> <br />Section 1. Findinas. <br /> <br />The City Council finds and declares that the State policies encouraging use of recycled <br />water are in the best interest of the City. This ordinance is necessary to protect and <br />enhance the common water supply of the Bay Area which is vital to public health and <br />safety. The City is highly dependent on imported water for municipal and industrial uses. <br />The prospects for additional supplies of imported water is uncertain. By developing and <br />utilizing recycled water, the need for additional imported water can be reduced. In light of <br />these circumstances, certain uses of potable water may be considered unreasonable <br />where recycled water is available. <br /> <br />Section 2 Water Recyclina Policy. <br /> <br />It is the policy of the City that recycled water shall be used for nonpotable uses within the <br />designated Recycled Water Service Area wherever its use is consistent with legal <br />requirements, preservation of public health, safety and welfare, and the environment. <br /> <br />Section 3.
