SUBJECT
Proposed Amendments to the 2009 Water Supply Agreement with the City and County of San Francisco
RECOMMENDATION
That the Committee reviews this report and recommends to the Council approval of proposed amendments to the 2009 Water Supply Agreement with the City and County of San Francisco.
SUMMARY
Hayward receives its water supply from the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) under the terms of an individual water sales agreement, as well as the 2009 Water Supply Agreement (WSA) between San Francisco and wholesale water customers. There are seven provisions within the WSA that have been identified by the Bay Area Water Supply and Conservation Agency (BAWSCA), which represents the interests of the twenty-six entities that purchase water from San Francisco, and SFPUC as requiring amendment. On September 25, 2018, the Hayward City Council approved a resolution authorizing BAWSCA to represent Hayward in negotiations with San Francisco on the proposed amendments to the WSA. City staff closely monitored the progress of negotiations. The negotiations are now complete, and the proposed amendments to the WSA were approved by SFPUC on December 11, 2018. This report provides information on the proposed amendments that the wholesale water customers, including Hayward, will need to consider approving by March 2019.
