• Minutes - San Leandro City Council Meeting - January 6, 1992 Page - 8 - NEW BUSINESS (continued) Mayor Karp noted that many people are using drought-resistant plants now instead of putting in turf. He suggested the Committee look at the use of secondary-treated effluent for irrigation. He said San Leandro's secondary-treated effluent is used for watering Alameda's and Oakland's golf courses. He noted there is an unused Shell Oil pipeline that runs from the airport to San Jose which could be used to carry effluent. Council Member Perry suggested homeowners' associations be sent the questionnaire. Mr. Camica asked if the City Council could help them answer the question from citizens: Why the East Bay area conserves yet the San Ramon area uses a lot more water. He said this issue has to be resolved and a public-information campaign is needed. Council Member Glaze suggested the water companies develop a rate structure similar to PG&E's that charges more money for greater amounts of use and also rewards those who conserve. Council Member Polvorosa said there should be rebates, all new buildings should have low-flush toilets, and remodeling should be made cost effective. Council Member Santos noted that the League of California Cities would be introducing a plan to address this issue on a State-wide basis. Mayor Karp said he had heard there might not be enough water to supply the bottlers in the area and asked if this was true. C.
