ROGER S. BAILEY, GENERAL MANAGER
SUBJECT: CONDUCT BIENNIAL REVIEW AND APPROVE REVISIONS TO BOARD
POLICY BP 019 - RECYCLED WATER
BP 019 - Recycled Wateris due for its biennial review and staff would like to propose a number of
changes to reflect the evolving nature of recycled water. In addition to removing redundant elements, staff
is proposing to eliminate the provision on the 15-year payback criteria and replace it with a new provision
that is based on the principle of beneficiary pays. Staff is also proposing to memorialize the Board
guidance given as part of Central San's Recycled Water Wholesale Opportunities study to prioritize large
recycled water projects with year-round demands, in addition to adding a reference to the Guiding
Principles for Satellite Water Recycling Facility projects, which were adopted by the Board in January
2022. See Attachment 1 for a redlined version of staff's proposed revisions. See Attachment 2 for a clean
version of staff's proposed policy.
If the Committee concurs, the proposed changes will be brought to the full Board for consideration.
