<br />7A - ATTACHMENT NO.3 <br />Saltworks Proposal- Water Group Summary Report (22 January 2010) Page 23 <br /> <br />County of San Francisco for the delivery of water from the regional water system. The <br />1984 contract expired on June 30, 2009. It was renegotiated this year and approved by <br />the City and County of San Francisco and each member agency. The SFPUC approved <br />the Agreement in April 2009. Redwood City approved its contract for continued regional <br />system supply on June 22, 2009 by resolution of the City Council. <br /> <br />The recently adopted agreement is now called the "Water Supply Agreement between <br />The City and County of San Francisco and Wholesale Customers in Alameda County, <br />San Mateo County and Santa Clara County" and is dated July 2009. Each BAWSCA <br />agency is a party to this Agreement and also has its own individual contract with San <br />Francisco for its supply. The Redwood City contract establishes Redwood City's service <br />area boundaries and points of connection to the Hetch Hetchy system pipelines. Figure <br />3 shows the Redwood City water service area that was adopted with the contract. <br /> <br />The Water Supply Agreement has a term of 25 years with provision for two 5-year <br />extensions and language prescribing the process for renewal after the two extensions. <br />Key terms of the Agreement are as follows: <br /> <br />· Reconfirms the wholesale agencies collective supply assurance of 184 million <br />gallons per day (mgd), as well as the agencies' individual supply guarantees. <br />The supply guarantees are transferable between agencies. <br /> <br />· San Francisco is responsible for delivering water that meets all applicable <br />drinking water standards (Le., responsible for treatment). <br /> <br />· San Francisco agrees to complete the Water System Improvement Program <br />(WSIP) by 2015 and requires the SFPUC to maintain the regional water <br />system. <br /> <br />· During water shortages, available water will be divided between San <br />Francisco and the wholesale customers as agreed to in the Interim Water <br />Shortage Allocation Plan (IWSAP). How this water allocation will be <br />apportioned between wholesale customers is not addressed in the <br />Agreement. BAWSCA members are currently working on updating the <br />IWSAP. <br /> <br />· Allows BAWSCA or individual wholesale customers to transport, or "wheel" <br />water through the regional water system during water shortage periods <br />subject to water quality considerations. All such transfers are subject to <br />SFPUC approval regarding operational and Raker Act compliance. <br /> <br />When the SFPUC adopted the WSIP (in conjunction with its Program Environmental <br />Impact Report) in October 2008, it adopted an "Interim Supply Limitation" through the <br />year 2018. The water supply component of the WSIP originally was intended to meet <br />demand through 2030; the SFPUC decided to approve the water supply component <br />through 2018 and re-evaluate the 2030 water supply needs in 2018. The Interim Supply <br />Limitation limits water sales from San Francisco's watersheds to 81 mgd for San <br />Francisco and 184 mgd for the wholesale customers, for a total limitation of 265 mgd <br />(which is codified in the Agreement). The Agreement requires San Francisco to decide <br />by December 31,2018 if it will increase the 184 mgd supply assurance. If water usage <br /> <br />16 <br />
