I executive Summary I ES.i Background Redwood City (the City) is 100% refianton one source of potable water supply, the San . Francisco Hetch Helchy regional water system. Currently, the City Is, consuming approximately 1,000 acre-feet per year (AFIyt}over the contractual (Wholesale) supply assuranoeof 12,243 AFlyr. The Redwood City Water Use Forecasl for 2000 to 2020, dated June 20, 2002 (prepared I by John Whitcomb, PhD). includes water supply projections associated with future housing, employment. and populatiOn. etc. The Water Us& Forecast explores future walersupply scenarios Including the "worst case" scenario that excludes any walar col1S&Nation and ill I scenario that 1akes.lnto account passlve water conservation. The potential water supply savings associated with an active water conservation scenario are addressed In the City's Urban Water Management Plan. Based on these forecasts and planrting, theClty wIll need additional water suppDes to meet both current and future needs. I The CIty has four options to redUce current demands on theHetch Hetchy supply, in orderto comply with the supply assurance and provide. supply for future growth: . 1. Negotiate water transfers from otheragencles that use the Hetch Hetchy regional system . 2. Negotiate a new source of potable water supply via the regional system ("wheeling") 3. Implement water conservation measures I 4. Implement a water recycling program forlandsCBpe Irrigation and Industrial uses . This stUdy bullds upon 1f1e joint recycled water pilot project being operated in Redwood Shores by the South BaysldeSystem Authority (SBSA) and the City, and,on the Water Recycling Feasibility Study for the Redwood Shores Area (Kennedy/Jenks Consultants, January 22, 2002). . ES.2 Market Assessment I Three geographical areas within the Cily were reviewed relatlveto providing a new market for recycled water use. The areas generally include Redwood Shores, the "Greater Bayfront Area" and Central Redwood City. Potential recycled water uses are primarily for landscape irrigation I in Redwood Shores and Central Redwood City. Some industrial uses, and potential for internal uses such as toilet flushing, exist primarily In the Greater Bayfront area and, to a lesser extent, Central Redwood City. .
