Securing water from willing sellers outside the BAWUA service area is theoretically <br />possible. State laws enacted in the 1980s allow for "wheeling' of water from willing <br />sellers to willing buyers through transmission systems owned by third parties — such as <br />the SFPUC's San Joaquin pipelines. This is a more complex process and one which <br />would require not only a contract with a water supplier (such as an irrigation agency), <br />but alpo approval by the SFPUC. <br />Finally, the SFPUC has adopted a Water Supply Master Plan (2000) and a Capital <br />Improvement Program (2002) which, if implemented successfully, may increase SFPUC'$ ability <br />to meet demands of its wholesale water customers such as Redwood City more reliably, and <br />possibly expand supply to meet their projected future demands. The CIP is also intended to <br />strengthen the San Francisco regional water supply system against catastrophic failure during a <br />severe earthquake. The cost of implementing the Water Supply Master Plan and the CIP is <br />high and there are significant uncertainties about the schedule on which the work can be <br />accomplished. This WSA does not assume that Redwood City can expect to receive increased <br />water deliveries from San Francisco, on a reliable basis, during the next 10-20 years. <br />8.
