Water supply planning and the Bay-Delta Plan
Summary
The state-required water plan projects demand could exceed supply by up to 38% in a 2050 dry year — numbers the Mayor called politically loaded fiction. The plan passed, but the Council will revisit the growth assumptions and Burlingame's advocacy posture through BAWSCA.

Impact analysis
Future rate pressure; the city faces a 6-7% wholesale rate increase this year and potential recycled-water capital investment.
State grant eligibility requires adoption; long-term water reliability planning benefits all residents.
Inflated growth projections could be used to justify scarcity narratives and unnecessary rate or development restrictions.
