BACKGROUND The City of San Leandro Water Pollution Control Plant (WPCP) provides secondary treatment for wastewater and then discharges the water into the San Francisco Bay through the East Bay Dischargers Autharity (EBDA) pipeline located near the San Leandro border with San Lorenzo. The transfer pipeline for the treated wastewater is located on Neptune Drive adjacent to the Monarch Bay Golf Course, which currently uses large quantities of high quality potable water from East Bay Municipal Water District (EBMUD) for irrigation. EBMUD can only deliver a f Hite amount of water, which means that finding alternative sources for water is important. In 2006, the State of California approved a grant for 25% of the construction costs for a recycled water facility for the City of San Leandro. The State program recognized that the water supply is limited and has implemented a program to reduce demand on potable water supplies by using recycled water. The result of this project is that the City can now extract water from the discharge line and pump the recycled water to the golf course pond for use in irrigating the fairways instead of using high quality water from EBMUD. A_ nalysis The Contractor, JMB Construction, completed the construction to the satisfaction of the Director of Engineering and Transportation. The pump house is operational and will supply 300 acre feet (98 million gallons) of recycled water per year to the Monarch Bay Golf Course.
