SnJOAM, CA931= <br />OW 998-6!30 FAX (408) 289-10" <br />July 10, 2002 <br />Mr. Carl Mosher <br />Director <br />Environmental Services Department <br />City of San Jose <br />777 North First Street, Suite 300 <br />San Jose. CA 95114 <br />Dear Mr. Mosher. <br />At the recommendation of its Environmental Health Committee, the Santa Clara Courtly <br />Medical Association first endorsed the South Bay Water Recycling (SBWR) program in <br />August 1997. Our support reflected our judgement that, when treated according to <br />California Department of Health Services standards, recycled water from SBWR is a <br />medically safe and environmentally sound alternative to the use of drinking water for <br />nonpotable purposes such as agricultural and landscape irrigation and industrial cooling <br />and manufacturing. <br />During the past five years local demand for recycled water has grown to the point that our <br />community now uses an average of 10 million gallons per day during the summer <br />months, and plans are underway to expand the system to further develop this valuable <br />resource. By using non - potable recycled water for appropriate purposes we help protect <br />endangered species, preserve our natural environment and secure an abundant water <br />supply for future generations. <br />The Santa Clara County Medical Association is pleased to offer our continued support for <br />this important program. <br />Sincerely, <br />John D. LoVnfl <br />President <br />JDL -jdb <br />
