Summary
The City of Menlo Park purchases most of its water directly from the SF RWS, and the remainder from East Palo Alto, whose source is also SF RWS. One SF RWS turnout serves the Sharon Heights area along Sand Hill Road and Highway 280, and four turnouts serve portions of the City north and east of El Camino Real near Highway 101 and Willow Road. The distribution system includes one pump station, two storage reservoirs, and 59 miles of mains.
The two reservoirs supply the Sharon Heights area. No storage exists in the areas supplied north and east of El Camino Real. However, this area has emergency interties with California Water Service (CWS), Redwood City, O'Connor Tract Water Coop, East Palo Alto and Palo Alto Park Mutual Water Co. CWS is the primary emergency source
of water for Menlo Park.
