Fort Bragg Feasibility Study Survey

The City of Fort Bragg is collecting public opinions within our water service area to measure our customer’s sentiments and knowledge of local supply topics. The results of this survey will help the City in communicating about future water supply options and future potential water supply projects. Please complete this five-minute survey. Thank you in advance for taking the time to answer these questions.
1.What is your zip code?
2.Which range describes your age?
3.What is your gender?
4.What are your views regarding the following statements related to your water supply?
Strongly Agree
Somewhat Agree
Neutral
Somewhat Disagree
Strongly Disagree
Fort Bragg’s water supply is reliable.
The majority of Fort Bragg’s water comes from local sources.
The majority of Fort Bragg’s water is from sources hundreds of miles away.
Fort Bragg’s drinking water is clean and safe.
5.Currently about 100% of the City’s water supply comes from local surface water sources. Before reading this statement, were you aware of this?
6.The majority of the water that goes down the drain in California, including Fort Bragg, is treated and then discharged into water bodies and eventually ends up in the ocean. Before reading this statement, were you aware of this?
7.The City of Fort Bragg has experienced water supply challenges during drought conditions, including the need to implement extreme conservation measures. How do you feel about the City exploring additional local water supply options to diversify its water portfolio?
8.Recycled water is treated wastewater that undergoes additional treatment processes to meet strict state and federal standards for non-drinking uses. Many communities across the United States currently use recycled water for irrigation of parks, golf courses, and other landscaping. How would you feel about the City of Fort Bragg developing a recycled water system for non-potable uses such as irrigation?
9.Indirect Potable Reuse (IPR) is a process where highly treated wastewater undergoes advanced purification processes beyond standard recycled water treatment. The purified water is then stored in an environmental buffer, such as a groundwater basin or surface water reservoir, before being blended with other water sources and treated again at a drinking water treatment plant to meet all federal and state drinking water standards. How would you feel about the City of Fort Bragg developing an indirect potable reuse system to supplement the drinking water supply?
10.Direct Potable Reuse (DPR) is an advanced water treatment approach where highly treated wastewater undergoes extensive purification processes beyond those used in recycled water and indirect potable reuse systems. Unlike indirect potable reuse, DPR allows the purified water to be added directly into the drinking water system without an environmental buffer, under stringent water quality monitoring and testing requirements. California recently established new standards for implementing DPR systems. How would you feel about the City of Fort Bragg developing a direct potable reuse system to supplement the drinking water supply?
11.New water supply projects that increase drought resilience and local water supply reliability may require funding through water rates. How would you feel about a potential increase in your water bill to help pay for developing additional sustainable water supplies for Fort Bragg?
12.Which of the following factors are most important to you when considering advanced water purification to create drinking water. Please select your top three choices.(Required.)
13.If you had to choose an alternative water supply that you felt most comfortable with the City developing what would it be?
