3,10-7 Project Description The proposed project includes 541,000 square feet of new research and development, office, manufacturing, and warehouse space to be developed over 10 -15 years in three phases. Approximately 1,500 employees will work at the campus at full build -out. As a new business with more than 1,000 employees, the proposed project meets the State criteria requiring the WSA. Attachment A provides additional i ^formation about the proposed project. 3. THE ABBOTT LABORATORIES PROJECT AND PROJECTED WATER DEMAND The future water use at the Abbott Laboratories Project has been estimated by Redwood,City Engineering and Construction Services to be 137.3 acre feet per year (AF/Y) or 122,550 gallons per day at full build -out, per Attachment 'B'. The demand estimated for this project was not explicitly included in the Redwood City Water Use Forecast 2000 to 2020 (June 20, 2002) prepared by John Whitcomb, Ph.D. (Attachment 'C'). In turn, the Water Use Forecast projections were not included in the City's 2003 UWMP, adopted in June, 2003. 4. WATER SUPPLY ANALYSIS The City of Redwood City receives 100% of its potable water supply from the Hatch Hetchy regional water system operated for the City and County of San Francisco by the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission ( SFPUC). Existing water supply entitlements, rights and /or water service contracts relevant to this water supply are: • 1984 Settlement Agreement and Master Water Sales Contract between Suburban Purchasers and the City and County of San Francisco Water Supply Contract between City and County of San Francisco and the City of Redwood City (August 1984) — Additionally, the Joint Powers Authority agreement establishing the South Bayside System Authority (SBSA) wastewater treatment works provides that SBSA may produce and sell treated wastewater effluent for potential reuse. SBSA has adopted a policy "To provide technical and institutional leadership on all subjects related to recycled water and to pursue water recycling in conjunction with the local water suppliers° SBSA and Redwood City are preparing a recycled water agreement that will establish recycled water capacity rights and cost reimbursement conditions. Necessary regulatory approvals to deliver the SFPUC water supply are: • State of Cal. Dept. of Health Services Water Supply Permit #4110022 and Engineer's Report The quantity of water received by Redwood City in prior years from existing Hatch Hetchy water supply entitlements is shown in Figure 1 (in AF/Y). This figure is reproduced from the Redwood City UWMP, and includes projected future water use. Page 4 of 8
