SACRAMENTO Gov. Gavin Newsom on Wednesday declared a drought emergency for Sonoma and Mendocino counties, but resisted calls to issue a statewide proclamation at least for now.
Newsom’s emergency order primarily affects communities and water districts in the Russian River watershed, which includes the cities of Santa Rosa, Ukiah and Sebastopol. Some 360,000 people live in the area.
The governor’s order gives the state Water Resources Control Board the power to curtail some users’ rights to divert water from the river, a measure designed to preserve supply for homes and other priority users. It is the first such declaration following two years of minimal rainfall that have dried out much of California.
Marin Becomes First Bay Area County to Announce Drought Water-Use Restrictions
We re in another drought, and likely within the next month or two we will be hearing about water-use rules and neighbors tattling on neighbors for washing their cars all over the Bay Area. But right now, the only county making mandatory restrictions official is Marin County.
Because Marin County relies on reservoirs in the coastal range for its drinking water, and not on water from the Sierra like much of the Bay Area, it s in particularly bad shape already, supply-wise. As KPIX reports, the county s water supply is already around half of what it should be at this time of year, with reservoirs having gotten about half their typical amount of rainfall.
