City Council of the City Council in May 2001. The IWSAP was also adopted by San Francisco as an amendment to the Master Sales Agreement. In Fiscal Year 2003/04, San Francisco delivered an average of 12.19 million gallons per day to the City, or approximately 13,653 acre feet for the Fiscal Year. The six-year average (1998/99 to 2003/04) delivery was 11.71 million gallons per day, or 13,119 acre feet per year. San Francisco Water Capital Improvement Plan and Long-Range Financial Plan. The San Francisco Public Utilities Commission has adopted and begun to implement a long-range financial plan and capital improvement plan to identify capital improvement needs and priorities for its water enterprise, which are intended to replace old systems or upgrade systems to improve reliability and meet future customer needs. The capital improvement plan encompasses 77 water infrastructure projects divided into two programs, the local water system projects (which are designed to benefit the water system within the city of San Francisco) and the regional water system projects (which are designed to benefit the larger infrastructure carrying water from Hetch Hetchy to both San Francisco and the suburban purchasers, including the City). The long-range financial plan recommends that capital improvement projects be funded from the issuance of revenue bonds by San Francisco. The total estimated cost of the regional water system component of the San Francisco's capital improvement plan is approximately $2.38 billion (in 2003 dollars), all of which is currently anticipated to be paid with revenue bonds. Under the Master Water Sales Contract, the costs of capital improvements to the regional water system will be allocated to each suburban water purchaser based its annual proportional usage of water. The City's share of the costs of these capital improvements will be paid as Maintenance and Operation Costs of the Enterprise and will, accordingly, will be paid prior to the payment of Installment Payments. San Francisco has not finalized its financing plans for these future projects, or the time frame for issuing the voter-approved bonds. Therefore, it is not possible to predict what share of these infrastructure costs will be borne by the City and the 28 other suburban purchasers. However, the City anticipates that its cost of acquiring water from San Francisco will increase in the future as San Francisco continues to implement its capital improvement plan. Further information regarding the San Francisco capital improvement plan and long-range financial plan, including periodic updates and status reports, is available at www.sfwater.org. Recycled Water. The Enterprise currently receives a small amount of recycled water from the South Bayside System Authority ("SBSA"). In Fiscal Year 2003-04, deliveries of recycled water from SBSA totaled 31 acre feet, or approximately 0.23% of the Enterprise's total water supply. After completion of Phase 1 of the Recycled Water Project, the City expects recycled water deliveries from SBSA of approximately 1,300 acre feet per year by Fiscal Year 2011-12 which, based on Fiscal Year 2003-04 total water deliveries, would constitute approximately 9.5% of the Enterprise's total water deliveries. 19
