DRAFT URBAN WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN <br />❑ 7.6% chance of a 10% Hetch Hetchy system -wide cutback. A 10% system -wide <br />cutback equates to a 12% cutback for BAWUA in aggregate. A 12% cutback for <br />BAWUA equates to a 17.5% cutback for Redwood City. A 17.5% cutback is a <br />"major" event requiring water rationing. <br />❑ 2.5% chance of a 20% Hetch Hetchy system -wide cutback. A 20% system -wide <br />cutback equates to a 23.6% cutback for BAWUA in aggregate. A 23.6% cutback <br />for BAWUA equates to a 28.4% cutback for Redwood City. A 28.4% cutback <br />would be a "dramatic" crisis involving significant disruptions and curtailments. <br />(1) The Interim Water Shortrage Allocation Plan addresses system wide cutbacks up to 20 %. <br />(2) Values provided by Nicole Sandkulla, Bay Area Water Users Association. <br />(3) Based on worksheet from Nicole Sandkulla, updated with FY 1999/00 and 2000 /01 water use. <br />(4) Based on FY 2000101 water use totals. <br />(5) Probability of each scenario occurring in a given year based on hydrology from 1921 to 1999. <br />Information taken from Figure 2 -5 in SFPUC Water Supply Master Plan, April 2000. <br />The probability of a 5% and 15% cutbacks not addressed, hence reported as not available (NA). <br />(6) Future probabilities based on interpolation of the 260 and 325 MGD demand scenarios in master plan. <br />3.2 Future Water Reliability <br />3.1.1 Base Case Situation <br />Assuming the City does not implement new water conservation programs or develop new <br />water supplies, the frequency and magnitude of the cutbacks will increase as members of <br />BAWUA use more water in the future. In fact, BAWUA's water use has increased in the <br />last few years and is projected to increase overtime to at least 2030 (BAWUA Annual <br />Survey of Results FY 2000 -01, December 2001). The last column of Table 3.1 shows an <br />estimate of the degradation in water supply reliability for the year 2010. The frequency of <br />cutbacks equal to or exceeding 17.5% will grow from 10.1% to 16.4% over this period. <br />Moreover, the increasing frequency of cutbacks will be of greater magnitude. <br />3.1.2 Future Alternative <br />The City can, however, significantly improve its reliability and minimize the magnitude <br />of water cutbacks by implementing water conservation and water recycling projects. <br />ON <br />Table 3.1 Current Water Reliability <br />11) <br />( <br />( <br />(4) <br />(5) <br />Hatch Hetchy <br />BAWUA <br />RWC <br />RWC <br />Future <br />System Remand <br />Demand <br />Demand <br />Allocation <br />Historical <br />Probability <br />Scenario <br />'Cutback <br />Cutback <br />Cutback <br />AFY <br />Probability <br />2010 <br />1 <br />0% <br />0.0% <br />0.0% <br />Not limited <br />NA <br />2 <br />-5% <br />-6.4% <br />- 12.2% <br />11,584 <br />NA <br />NA <br />3 <br />-10% <br />- 12.0% <br />- 17.5% <br />10,891 <br />7.6% <br />6.3/0 <br />4 <br />-15% <br />-18.2% <br />- 23.3% <br />10,124 <br />NA <br />5.1% <br />F <br />-20% <br />-23.6% <br />- 28.4% <br />9,456 <br />2.5% <br />2.5^/0 <br />(1) The Interim Water Shortrage Allocation Plan addresses system wide cutbacks up to 20 %. <br />(2) Values provided by Nicole Sandkulla, Bay Area Water Users Association. <br />(3) Based on worksheet from Nicole Sandkulla, updated with FY 1999/00 and 2000 /01 water use. <br />(4) Based on FY 2000101 water use totals. <br />(5) Probability of each scenario occurring in a given year based on hydrology from 1921 to 1999. <br />Information taken from Figure 2 -5 in SFPUC Water Supply Master Plan, April 2000. <br />The probability of a 5% and 15% cutbacks not addressed, hence reported as not available (NA). <br />(6) Future probabilities based on interpolation of the 260 and 325 MGD demand scenarios in master plan. <br />3.2 Future Water Reliability <br />3.1.1 Base Case Situation <br />Assuming the City does not implement new water conservation programs or develop new <br />water supplies, the frequency and magnitude of the cutbacks will increase as members of <br />BAWUA use more water in the future.
