Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Redwood City public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Potable Water Conservation and Non-Functional Turf Ban
The council adopted the five-year water plan updates. Supply meets demand through 2050 in normal years, but the state Bay Delta plan could bring 31-48% rationing in dry years. Council members celebrated Redwood City's low water-loss rate and criticized Central Valley agricultural water use.
Carson Potable Water Pump Station replacement design
The council signed off on up to $657,095 for Schaaf & Wheeler to design the replacement of the Carson potable water pump station — early work on keeping water service reliable.
Maple Street Sewer Interceptor cost increase
The sewer line project needs more money — the council bumped the Cratus construction contract contingency from 10% to 18%, adding roughly $150,000 to finish the job.
