Sonoma County Water Agency
sonoma_county_water.jpgSonoma County Water Agency (SCWA) has spent almost 60 years working to effectively manage water resources for the benefit of people and the environment.

SCWA manages and maintains a water transmission system that provides naturally filtered Russian River water to nine cities and special districts that in turn deliver drinking water to more than 600,000 residents in portions of Sonoma and Marin counties. The SCWA also provides additional services, including flood protection, distribution of recycled water, recreational opportunities and wastewater treatment.

One of SCWA’s priorities is water education. SCWA partners with local water suppliers to provide water conservation programs that help save water. SCWA has partnered with Community Pulse to increase awareness about water use and provide suggestions for using water more efficiently. Community Pulse helps SCWA tell the story of how water, energy and climate change are linked.
