6.1.E. - Page 15 <br /> Menlo Park Menlo Park did not cite a reason for not developing a <br /> program. <br /> Millbrae Millbrae, from 1988 to 2009, used recycled water for <br /> landscaping at the US lOUMillbrae Avenue <br /> interchange. The practice stopped in 2009 due to <br /> renovations at the city's wastewater treatment plant. The <br /> city has one pump station and less than one mile of <br /> distribution pipe. The city currently has no plans to <br /> expand the distribution system stating that it would be <br /> cost prohibitive to do so. <br /> Portola Valley CalWater provides Portola Valley's water service and <br /> the West Bay Sanitary District provides its wastewater <br /> service. Neither of these utilities have plans to construct <br /> a recycled water system to serve Portola Valley. <br /> San Carlos San Carlos cited the distance to the treatment facility <br /> and overall cost as reasons for not pursuing a recycled <br /> water program. <br /> Woodside Woodside did not cite a reason for not developing a <br /> program. <br /> County of San Mateo Recycled water programs usually exist at large-scale <br /> wastewater treatment facilities. The County does not <br /> operate any large-scale wastewater treatment facilities. <br /> Survey Non-Responders <br /> East Palo Alto did not respond to the Grand Jury's survey on Recycled Water. <br /> FINDINGS <br /> F1. There is a growing imbalance in the County and the region between water supply and <br /> demand. <br /> F2. The County and Cities must reduce their residents' dependence on imported water by <br /> diversifying their water supply sources. <br /> F3. Water recycling alone cannot completely mitigate the growing imbalance between water <br /> supply and demand,but used in conjunction with other water management options it can <br /> help the County and Cities maintain a safe and reliable water source. <br /> F4. Properly produced and used, recycled water poses little or no public health risk. <br /> F5. Educational programs are necessary to highlight the growing importance of recycled water <br /> in the County and the region. <br /> F6. The County and Cities would benefit from collaborative arrangements to jointly produce <br /> and distribute recycled water where appropriate. <br /> 11 <br />
