A Background and Brief History

The Eden Shores community was constructed on land previously used to harvest sea salt and agricultural crops. We are adjacent to the San Francisco Bay and to a regional tideland wildlife preserve.

If you have wondered about the water channel that runs along our community to separate it from the tideland, here’s the background:

A condition for the approval of the Eden Shores housing development project by government agencies was the requirement to separate the residential area from the tideland by creating a buffer zone containing a water-filled channel. The objective is to create a water barrier to prevent domestic animals from migrating into the tidal marshes and preying on endangered species such as the salt marsh harvest mouse.

Tidal flow studies were conducted to determine the feasibility of using natural tidal flows and surface water runoff to fill the channel and induce circulation. Ground water from saline and freshwater aquifers was also considered as sources to fill the channel.

The adopted design uses fresh water from a well and incorporates a landscape irrigation system to fill the channel. A water treatment system is also included and it contains aeration, aquatic plant nutrient removal, filtration, and recirculation.

Eden Shores homeowners pay to maintain the water barrier and to protect the salt marsh harvest mouse, an endangered species. In addition, Eden Shores homeowners contribute to the maintenance of the Gordeon E. Oliver Community Park - the public park within the Eden Shores community of homes. The park is managed and maintained by the Hayward Area Parks & Recreation District (HARD).
