STUDY PARAMETERS FOR THE WATER SUPPLY ALTERNATIVES

PLAN

Santa Rosa Water is undertaking a study in advance of developing a

Water Supply Alternatives Plan that will explore diversifying and

increasing its potable urban water supply portfolio to enhance resiliency

during supply shortages (e.g. droughts) and/or service interruptions that

could occur in catastrophic events. The project team consists of Santa

Rosa Water staff and consultant Woodard & Curran. After receiving

input from a wide range of internal and external stakeholders in recent

months, the project team has refined its recommendations for the study

approach. The study parameters include a water supply resiliency goal,

list of potential water supply options to be studied, evaluation criteria for

analyzing the feasibility of each supply option, and the study

methodology. Staff and the project team will present the study

parameters to the Board of Public Utilities before finalizing the approach

and proceeding with the study. The Board may discuss this item and

give direction to staff.
