10 2.3 Water Demand for the Proposed Project Included in UWMP? A prior version of the 901 El Camino Real Project was included in the 2020 UWMP, but the scope of the project has increased since the 2020 UWMP was developed. This additional scope increased potable water demand by 21.2 afy which was not included in the 2020 UWMP, however, with the additional water demand from the Project, total potable water demand for the City is still below the City’s Individual Water Supply Guarantee from the SFPUC 3.0 Redwood City Water System The following sections describe the City’s existing water service area, including existing and projected population. The City’s water demands are described in Section 4, and water supplies are described in Section 5. 3.1 Water Service Area The City’s water service area spans approximately 17 square miles and includes the incorporated limits of Redwood City, as well as areas of San Mateo County outside of those limits, including Cañada College, the Emerald Lake Hills Area, a portion of the Town of Woodside, and the City of San Carlos. The service area is approximately bounded by Whipple Avenue to the north, Marsh Road to the south, I-280 to the west, and Highway 101 and San Francisco Bay to the east. Land uses throughout the water service area consist primarily of residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional land uses. Potable water demand within the City’s water service area is tracked and reported for the following sectors: single family residential, multi-family residential, commercial, industrial, municipal, irrigation, and ‘other’ connections (including schools, churches, temporary meters, and miscellaneous customers). 3.2 Population The City’s service area is largely built-out, with future growth trends expected to be associated with multi-unit and mixed-use infill or redevelopment. This infill development is expected to largely occur within the City’s Downtown area, along transit corridors, and in the waterfront neighborhoods east of Highway 101. As shown in Table 3-1, the total population within the City’s service area is projected to increase to 107,947 people by 2045, a 21 percent increase from the current 2020 population of 89,037 people. The projected population estimates represent a 0.9 percent annual growth rate compared to the 2020 population.
