The purpose of the Water Supply Assessment is to determine if the City’s total projected water supplies available during normal, single-dry, and multiple-dry water years during a 20-year projection are sufficient to meet the water demand associated with the proposed project, in addition to the demand of existing and planned future development; and WHEREAS, California Water Code Section 10910(g) requires the governing body of each public water system, or the city or county if either is required to comply with this act pursuant to subdivision (b), shall approve the Water Supply Assessment at a regular or special meeting. NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BURLINGAME RESOLVES AND ORDERS AS FOLLOWS: 1.

DocuSign Envelope ID: 2D6A61CC-BD37-4EA1-83D5-95AFE4249892 2. The Water Supply Assessment concludes that because the proposed project was included in the City’s 2020 UWMP and the City’s 2022 water demand projections update, it will not affect water supply reliability within the City’s service area beyond what has been projected. Based on currently available information, the City expects to be able to meet all future demands within its service area inclusive of the proposed project in normal hydrologic years. The shortfalls that are currently projected during dry years will be addressed through implementation of the City’s 2020 Water Shortage Contingency Plan. In addition, as described herein and in the City’s 2020 Urban Water Management Plan, the Bay Area Water Supply and Conservation Agency and the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission are pursuing the development of additional water supplies to improve the Regional Water System and local supply reliability, which is anticipated to minimize potential impacts during multiple drought years conditions. 3. Forward the recommended water conservation measures identified and described in the Water Supply Assessment for consideration in the environmental review for the Project.
