7. B. - Page 8 <br />Executive Summary <br />1! <br />GlIY <br />qW <br />`wflj(RG 9 6 e WJft LCr&d <br />The total water use figure includes potable water offsets to account for growth in the City's <br />recycled water use, reductions in potable use due to water efficiency standards, and growth in <br />water conservation. Recycled water demand is projected to increase to 1,611 AFY by 2030. To <br />date, Phase 1 of the City's recycled water project has been implemented, and includes customers <br />east of Hwy 101 in Redwood Shores, the Bayfront Area and the Seaport Area. Phase 2 is <br />expected to include customers west of Hwy 101. Of the current and projected recycled water use <br />by 2030, approximately 600 AFY is estimated to be used by existing customers, just under <br />300 AFY of new use is projected in the Phase 1 area, and the remaining 700 AFY of new use is <br />in the Phase 2 area. a <br />Projected demands include 430 AFY in anticipated reductions in potable water use due to water <br />efficiency standards that offset potable water use. This offset factors in the ongoing replacement <br />of less water - efficient water fixtures with more efficient water fixtures, such as use of low -flow <br />toilets and high efficiency washing machines. Projected demands also include 730 AFY of future <br />water conservation savings. Savings is projected to come from new single family residential <br />programs for improved leak detection, and water - budget based water rates. Both of these <br />reductions in use are assumed to occur throughout the service area. <br />ESA EXISTING WATER SYSTEM OVERVIEW (CHAPTER 3) <br />The City's potable water service area includes the incorporated limits of the City, portions of San <br />Mateo County outside the corporate limits, including Canada College and the Emerald Lake <br />Hills areas, and parts of the Town of Woodside and the City of San Carlos. <br />The City's service area is approximately 17 square miles, and includes 20 pressure zones. The <br />sole source of supply for the system is from the City of San Francisco Regional Water System, <br />delivered to various areas of the City through 13 turnouts. The system can be described by three <br />distinct areas: <br />• Main City Zone — Includes the Downtown, Seaport and central residential <br />neighborhoods within the City that are adjacent to San Francisco Bay. This zone <br />accounts for approximately 60 percent of the City's demand and is served by gravity <br />from the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission ( SFPUC) regional system. <br />• Redwood Shores Zone — This master planned area to the north of the City includes a <br />mix of low and medium density residential uses, along with office and commercial <br />years. This area accounts for about 15 percent of system demand is served by gravity <br />from the SFPUC regional system. <br />• Hillside Area — Areas on the west side of the City, at higher elevations. This area is <br />generally low density single family residential with some neighborhood commercial <br />areas. The Hillside Area accounts for about 25 percent of system demand and is <br />primarily served by pump stations that supply the area from the SFPUC regional <br />system. <br />'" City of Redwood City 2010 Urban Water Management Plan (Redwood City, adopted June 13, 2011), Table 4 -8. <br />WEST Y O S T ASSOCIATES ES -4 City of Redwood City <br />September 2011 Water System Master Plan <br />o\c\369\06-09-01 \wp\mp\05261 0_0ES <br />
