SUMMARY
Hayward receives its water supply from the San Francisco Public Utility Commission (SFPUC) under the terms of a 1962 individual water sales agreement, as well as the 2009 Water Supply Agreement (WSA) between San Francisco and the wholesale water customers (Wholesale Customers). From time to time, the WSA is amended, most recently in 2019. This report describes proposed amendments to establish a process for the expedited and permanent transfer of Minimum Purchase Quantities, to which four wholesale customers are currently subject. This report also addresses a specific request to transfer Minimum Purchase Quantities from the City of Mountain View to the City of East Palo Alto.
