along El Camino Real just north of Rancho Carlsbad Drive, as shown on Exhibit 1 Location Map. It
was constructed in the early 1970's to provide water to the entire Rancho Carlsbad Mobile Home Park

CiTY COUNCIL
John,
Cynthia asked me to respond to a request regarding the practicality of installing a device to capture the energy that is
currently dissipated via the pressure reducing station serving the Rancho Carlsbad neighborhood. This is related to the
AB regarding the replacement ofthe water meter and pressure reducing station serving Rancho Carlsbad. The amount
of water that flows through this connection and the available pressure make this an unsuitable hydroelectric generation
location. To be cost effective, there needs to be very high flows and a high pressure reduction available. The only
locations in our service area that satisfy these two criteria are our connections to the San Diego County Water Authority
Second Aqueduct, one of which is at Maerkle Reservoir. We are working with a consultant to analyze the other three
connection locations.
The pressure reducing station at the Rancho Carlsbad location is simply too small to be economically viable.
