<br /> 24 <br />2025 Amended and Restated WSA 21945395.2 <br />4. San Francisco will use its best efforts to identify potential sources of dry <br />year water supplies and establish the contractual and other means to access and deliver those <br />supplies in sufficient quantity to meet a goal of not more than 20 percent system-wide shortage <br />in any year of the design drought. <br />5. San Francisco will cooperate with BAWSCA to improve water supply <br />reliability. As an example of such cooperation, San Francisco may invite a representative of <br />BAWSCA to attend and participate in meetings with third parties for development of dry year <br />water supplies. If San Francisco does not invite a BAWSCA representative to attend a specific <br />scheduled meeting, it will promptly (within 30 days of any such meeting) provide BAWSCA with <br />a written or oral report on the meeting, including any decisions reached at it, as well as <br />information about planned subsequent meetings. Progress in securing dry year water supplies <br />will be reported to the SFPUC and the BAWSCA board of directors during the first quarter of <br />each calendar year. <br />3.12. Wheeling of Water from Outside SFPUC System <br />Subject to the Wheeling Statute, the SFPUC will not deny use of Regional Water System <br />unused capacity for wheeling when such capacity is available for wheeling purposes during <br />periods when the SFPUC has declared a water shortage emergency under Water Code Section <br />350 if the following conditions are met: <br />A. The transferor pays reasonable charges incurred by the SFPUC as a result of the <br />wheeling, including capital, operation, maintenance, administrative and replacement costs (as <br />such are defined in the Wheeling Statute). <br />B. Wheeled water that is stored in the Regional Water System spills first. <br />C. Wheeled water will not unreasonably: (1) impact fish and wildlife resources in <br />Regional Water System reservoirs; (2) diminish the quality of water delivered for consumptive <br />uses; or (3) increase the risk of exotic species impairing Regional Water System operations. <br />The transferor may at its own expense provide for treatment to mitigate these effects. <br />D. Priority will be given to wheeling by Wholesale Customers or BAWSCA over <br />arrangements for third-party public entities. <br />3.13. Limits on New Customers
