Foster City refutes recent report over inadequate emergency water supply
A recent grand jury report stated that Foster City’s water district doesn’t have sufficient water supply or fuel storage in the event of an emergency, but the city says it “wholly disagrees” with some of the findings. On July 8, the San Mateo County Civil Grand Jury released a report of its study looking to what extent water providers prepared to supply water to customers in the event of an emergency. … The report recommended that EMID [Estero Municipal Improvement District] develop plans to provide water pumping capabilities to provide emergency water to its community for a minimum of three days, a recommendation that Foster City staff say they have implemented since the recent completion of a water tanks and facilities improvement project.
