The new residential program, known as "CartSMART", includes weekly collection service for Recycle, Compost and Garbage, including a conversion to Single-Stream Recycling, which allows residents to put all of their recyclables into one blue cart without having to sort materials. Residents currently use the "dual-stream" recycling collection system, which requires them to separate paper products from plastic, metal and glass containers and place into different recycling tubs.

In January 2010, our water wholesaler, the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission shut down the pipelines from their reservoirs in the Sierra Nevada to install seismic upgrades and perform maintenance. Water is now coming from local sources in the Bay Area.
Milky Water: Tiny bubbles of air have saturated water. You will likely notice that the water clears up from the bottom of a glass container as the bubbles rise to the surface.
Changes in Taste: The SFPUC normally provides its customers with a blend of about 85% Hetch Hetchy water and 15% locally produced water. Since Hetch Hetchy water is not in the mix, the taste is slightly different.
How long will this condition last? The SFPUC expects to complete its work on the Hetch Hetchy sometime during the month of February. After that, they will resume delivery of Hetch Hetchy water as before. Past experience shows that the water will return to normal within a day or two after.
You can refer to the SFPUC Public Notice at their website: http://sfwater.org/detail.cfm/MC_ID/18/MSC_ID/114/C_ID/4840

In an effort to reduce water consumption in landscaped areas, California passed The Water Conservation in Landscaping Act of 2006 (AB 1881). AB 1881 requires the State Department of Water Resources to update the State’s Model Landscape Ordinance with specific ways to improve water efficiency in urban irrigated landscapes. To comply with AB 1881, the Town of Hillsborough will need to adopt either the State’s updated Model Landscape Ordinance or one of its own that is “at least as effective”.
In December 2009, the Bay Area Water Supply and Conservation Agency (“BAWSCA”) presented a Regional Model Landscape Ordinance to its Bay Area member agencies (including Hillsborough). BAWSCA created the Regional Model Ordinance to simplify the state’s ordinance requirements and make it more applicable to our region. The Regional Model Ordinance can be found at http://bawsca.org/docs/09_FINAL_BAWSCAOutdoorOrdinance_December122009.pdf
The Hillsborough City Council will be considering the State and Regional Model Ordinances as a discussion item on February 8, 2010. Information regarding this meeting will be provided on the Town’s City Council webpage http://www.hillsborough.net/depts/council/agenda/agenda.asp . Interested members of the public may also contact the Town directly at 650-375-7444 for more information.
