3.6 - All zones can meet the 8 hr criteria either separately or by pumping from zones with excess capacity.

 

Summary

 

The District’s sole source of potable water is delivered via two SF RWS turnouts. Local water storage is not feasible, and groundwater of adequate quantity and quality is not available.

 

The system contains 9 pressure zones. The easternmost zone, east of El Camino Real, is gravity fed from the SF RWS connection. Water is pumped to storage reservoirs at higher elevations to feed the remaining pressure zones. The District operates and maintains a complex distribution system that includes 20 pumps, 11 water tanks, 13 regulating valves, 813 hydrants, and 105 miles of water mains.

 

The District also has redundancy built into the entire distribution system, enabling either of the two SF RWS transmission mains to supply water to all customers of the District. The District has the ability to transfer water between pressure zones in either a pump-up or flow-down mode in emergency conditions.
