With no local supply alternative, Redwood City is dependent on SFPUC for all of its supplies. As such, water supply agreements between BAWUA and SFPUC shape the City's drought response measures.

Very localized shortages can occur due to distribution system problems and system shortages may occur due to major facility failures.
