Our local water supply conditions remain critically low this summer. For the past three years, the Russian River watershed has experienced less than average rainfall, including two of the driest years in over 100 years of record keeping. To combat this intense period of drought, Santa Rosa continues to need all residents, businesses, and visitors to save water to achieve a 20% communitywide reduction in water use. Prior to April 2022 the community achieved this target, but for the last few months, Santa Rosa has fallen short, dropping to 17% savings. The good news is we can get back on track this summer if we all say yes to saving water, especially by reducing outdoor irrigation. Start savings today by checking out Santa Rosa’s top 10 water-saving tips, picking up a free drought toolkit, or helping us spread the word with a drought yard sign. For more water saving tips and tools, visit srcity.org/WaterSmart or call 707-543-3985 to speak with a WaterSmart technician.
