THE BAYSIDE GARDENS PROJECT AND PROJECTED WATER DEMAND As a potential new residential development of 500 housing units or more, the proposed project meets the State criteria requiring the WSA. The Bayside Gardens Project consultant, BKF Engineers, conveyed their project description to the Community Development Services Department (CDS), including their indications of estimated water demand (Attachment 'A'). Subsequently, CDS staff developed 'rough' estimates of water demand for five alternative land uses for the project site (Attachment 'B'). Therefore, the future water demand at the Project site has been estimated to be a range of -5.5 acre feet per year (AFIY) to +103.6 AFIY. The demand estimated for this project and other planned development was 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 included in the City's UWMP as Appendix B. 4. WATER SUPPLY ANALYSIS The City of Redwood City receives 100% of its potable water supply from the Hetch 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 Page 4 of 8
