6.1E Page 6 UWMP, however, does project future growth in demand in the commercial sector and the Stanford in Redwood City Project is considered to be in that sector. Under the demand projections that Stanford has submitted to the City, the projected net increases in water demand is within the UMWP total City-wide demand estimate of 11,724 af/yr for the year 2030. As shown in the UWMP, the City projects that in normal years there will be sufficient water to serve this 11,724 af/yr in City-wide demand. The City projects that in dry years, supplies will not be sufficient to meet this level of demand. However, a shortage would exist with or without this Project. The Project would not require additional cutbacks in water use from existing or planned customers beyond the cutbacks that already would be required in 2030 if the City achieves is projected level of overall growth as set forth in the 2005 UWMP. Moreover, the City has a Water Shortage Contingency Plan in place to ensure that, in times of shortage, demands are curtailed and do not exceed supplies. In addition to this, Stanford has agreed to build the Project with dual-plumbing and has committed to using recycled water for both irrigation and for allowable indoor uses. During periods of shortages, it is understood that any Project with net increases in water requirements that would increase the level of City-wide demand projected in the UWMP would increase the magnitude of cutbacks required by existing water customers. In a single dry year scenario, if the City were to find that the level of demand from the Stanford in Redwood City Project would increase the level of City-wide demand projected in the UWMP, the Project would increase potable water cutbacks of other customers by an additional 1.9 percent under Attachment 2, Table 3A; by 1.4 percent under Table 38; and by 0.6 percent under Table 3C. In a multiple dry year scenario, the project would increase water cutbacks by an additional 2.2 percent under Attachment 2, Table 3A; by 1.6 percent under Table 38; and by 0.7 percent under Table 3C. These cutbacks are summarized in Table 1 below for the year 2030: Table 1 Project Water Summary for 2030 (af/yr) Normal Year Sin 11,724 12,243 o o o o 0% 0% 2.
