<br />6.1E <br />Page 17 <br /> <br />May 21, 2009 <br />Mr. Paul Willis <br />Page 2of2 <br /> <br />Stanford University proposes that new buildings constructed within the project site be dual <br />plumbed to allow for the internal use of recycled water and the use of recycled water for <br />landscape irrigation. <br /> <br />Stanford recognizes that trends in the regulatory environment will promote and require the <br />use of more water efficient fixtures than are presently reflected in the City's water demand <br />rates. In anticipation of these more water efficient requirements and in keeping with Stanford <br />University's sustainability principals, the Stanford in Redwood City project will incorporate <br />water conservation measures such as low flow fixtures, infrared detectors, and other water <br />efficient measures. Water use for building mechanical systems will also be reduced by more <br />efficient fixtures. As documented in our previous submission to the City, the project <br />applicants believe that the use of these water efficient measures will result in a significant <br />reduction in water use for this project, as compared with the demand rates directed by City <br />staff <br /> <br />Stanford also would like to emphasize its prior COllllnents concerning the City's Urban Water <br />Management Plan (UWMP) and its relationship to the WSA. These comments were outlined <br />in Stanford's submittal of March 16, 2009. Stanford believes that further discussions with the <br />City are required so that all parties fully understand the methodology by which the water use <br />calculations were derived for the UWMP. <br /> <br />Please forward the attached infonnation to Public Works Services (PWS). <br /> <br />Respectfully yours, <br />BKF Engineers <br /> <br />~~ <br /> <br />Jacob Nguyen, P.E. <br />Cc: Steve Elliot, Stanford <br />Jim Inglis, Stanford <br />Jolm Donahoe, Stanford <br />Alex Johnson, Matrix CM <br />M.arc R.
