Description of project (Describe the whole action involved, including but not limited to later <br /> phases of the project, and any secondary, support, or off-site features necessary for its <br /> implementation. Attach additional sheets if necessary.): <br /> Background and Purpose of Project <br /> The project evaluated in this document is the Redwood City Recycled Water Project. The <br /> purpose of the project is to develop and construct a recycled water system for the City of <br /> Redwood City (City). The City currently relies completely on one source of potable water, the <br /> San Francisco Hetch Hetchy regional water system. The Hetch Hetchy contractual water supply <br /> assurance limit for Redwood City is 12,243 acre feet per year (AFY). In 2006 the City consumed <br /> 1,000 AFY over that amount, and City staff projected that the water supply demand overage <br /> would increase up to 2,700 AFY or more by 2009/10, when the San Francisco supply contract <br /> expires. <br /> The City determined that it had four options to reduce demands on the Hetch <br /> Hetchy supply, in order to comply with the supply assurance limit: <br /> • Negotiate water transfers from other agencies that use the Hetch Hetchy regional <br /> system; <br /> • Negotiate a new source of potable water supply via the regional system ("wheeling"); <br /> • Implement water conservation measures; and <br /> • Implement a water recycling program <br /> Of these options, water conservation and water recycling appear to provide the only viable <br /> near-term opportunities that can be readily planned and implemented by the City.
