The City finds that the frequency and magnitude of these cutbacks for existing water users is unacceptable. Figure 2 also shows the degradation in reliability if the 137 AFN of new water demands were added as a result of the Abbott Laboratories Project. The degradation makes the shortage cutbacks about 1 % more for existing users than without the project. Figure 2.

Those plans may include information concerning the following: "(1) The estimated total costs, and the proposed methods of financing the costs, associated with acquiring the additional water supplies. (2) All federal, state and local permits, approvals or entitlements that are anticipated to be required in order to acquire and develop the additional water supplies. (3) ... the estimated time frames within which the water system expects to be able to acquire additional water supplies." (Water Code Section 10911.) The City has developed plans for a recycled water treatment, storage, pumping and distribution system that will serve high quality water to existing and future water users for landscape irrigation and various industrial uses. This system provides a means of meeting water demands that would otherwise have to be met from potable water sources. The recycled water system is Page 6 of 8
