Biography/Organization History
The Sonoma County Water Agency was created as a special district in 1949 by the California Legislature to act as the local
sponsor for federal flood protection and water supply projects known collectively as the Russian River Project.. Renamed Sonoma
Water in 2018, the agency is a wholesale water supplier to nine cities and water districts that serve more than 600,000 residents
in portions of Sonoma and Marin counties. In conjunction with the US Army Corps of Engineers, Sonoma Water manages and operates
the Russian River water supply system. The agency also manages eight sanitation districts and zones in Sonoma County. (Source:
