The State of <br />California, recognizing that the water supply will one day limit our growth, has implemented a <br />program to reduce demand on potable water supplies by using recycled water. The State is <br />providing grant funds to agencies to encourage recycled water use, and the City of San Leandro <br />was awarded a grant for this purpose. <br /> <br />The City of San Leandro's Water Pollution Control Plant (WPCP) currently treats wastewater <br />and then discharges the water into the San Francisco Bay. The City's discharge pipeline runs <br />southerly from the WPCP along Neptune Drive and Monarch Bay Drive to the East Bay <br />Dischargers Authority pipeline located near the San Leandro border. However, this water can be <br />reused in certain areas. The American Golf Company currently uses large quantities of high <br />quality potable water to irrigate the golf course, but recycled water treated at the WPCP can be <br />used at the Golf Course to reduce the demand on the EBMUD water supply. <br /> <br />This project provides for the construction of a new treatment building, piping, pumps, treatment <br />equipment, and monitoring equipment to treat and supply 300-acre feet per year of recycled <br />water to the golf course. Existing piping will be used to deliver the recycled water to Marina <br />Lake and Dogbone Lake. The existing irrigation systems draw from these two lakes to irrigate <br />both the Marina Golf Course and the Tony Lema Golf Course. <br />
