Senate Bill 610 Water Supply Assessments
City of San Jose, California |
|
|
Todd Engineers was retained by David J. Powers & Associates,
consultants to the City of San Jose,
to prepare two water supply assessments.
The water supply assessments were both prepared for
the City of San Jose Municipal Water System and involved the
North San Jose redevelopment project and the
Evergreen East Hills Vision Strategy.
These assessments were prepared in compliance with
Senate
Bill 610
which requires a water supply assessment for large developments.
|
|
Senate Bill 610 water supply assessments are intended to rely on
Urban Water Management Plans for most of their documentation.
However, the North San Jose project was proposed after preparation
of the City's 2000 Plan and before completion of the City's 2005 Plan.
Accordingly, the water supply assessment had to provide information
otherwise provided by the Plans.
The water supply assessment for North San Jose was completed within a
very demanding schedule.
|
|
The SB 610 assessment includes description of the service area,
evaluation of water demands, and assessment of available water
supply under normal rainfall and drought conditions.
The North San Jose project involves extensive redevelopment of
North San Jose, including residential, commercial, and industrial
development.
The Evergreen East Hills Vision Strategy included the analysis of
six potential scenarios of development each with a unique blend
of proposed land uses.
In both projects, the City's assessment involved coordination
among water agencies.
The assessments both concluded that water supply was sufficient
for the water demand of the City and discussed how additional
development of supplemental sources, including water conservation
and water recycling, could benefit the water supply.
