The Sonoma County Water Agency (Sonoma Water) Board of Directors will meet Monday, Feb. 27, to discuss the challenges and opportunities facing the region’s aging water, wastewater and flood protection systems in a changing climate.

The Board will receive presentations on key issues impacting Sonoma Water’s drinking water supply and transmission system, regional flood management, initiatives to keep our water clean and the water agency’s efforts to address the effects of climate change.

Board members and the public will also be briefed on efforts to maintain and modernize systems that are 40 to 70 years old and their ability to withstand earthquakes, more frequent droughts and extreme storms.  Some of the investments could require future increases in the wholesale price of water that Sonoma Water supplies to nine cities and special districts in Sonoma and Marin counties.

This informational board meeting is slated to begin at 8:30 a.m. in the Sonoma County Board of Supervisors chambers, 575 Administration Dr., Room 102A. The meeting will be livestreamed on Zoom and there will be an opportunity for public comment. For details go to sonoma-county.legistar.com/Calendar.aspx.
