Given the continued drought on top of our existing water storage shortages, and the EPSP specifically not addressing the <br /> "conditions created by the current drought", it seems doubtful the EPSP proposed potable water/recycled water exchange <br /> program can/will meet the demand for an additional 1.8 million gallons of water, or, will even be ready in time—no matter <br /> who pays for it. <br /> Guest Opinion: "Let's lead the state in model planning for future water use." <br /> I agree. However, let's ensure that before we put an additional drain on our limited water resources we have the potable <br /> water/recycled water infrastructure in place with water actually available in storage to support an EPSP. This includes <br /> potable water for the 1300 residential lots ranging from 2000 to 6500+ sq. ft., and the 136 acres of retail, office and <br /> industrial buildings (page 33) in the current plan, as well as recycled water for landscaping. Perhaps instead of including <br /> a"generous landscaping and tree canopy" (page 24), more than half of which are moderate water use, we really could <br /> "lead the state in model planning for future water use" by making East Pleasanton a showcase for xeriscaping with <br /> drought-tolerant, sustainable landscapes and low volume irrigation. <br /> Thank you for your time. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Billie R.
