Water Agency sets new Strategy!
On September 15, 2009, the SCWA Board voted to
abandon its petition for additional water rights and
its long-planned $1 Billion Water Project. Major
changes in conditions - reduced flows in Dry Creek
and the Russian River - as well as increased costs and impacts on ratepayers were cited as reasons why the Water Project is now “infeasible and impractical.”

Clean Water Coalition of Northern Sonoma County
WELCOME!
Founded in 2007, the Clean Water Coalition of Northern Sonoma County is an alliance of community groups and individuals representing a total membership of over 2,500 local residents, winemakers, environmentalists, farmers, elected officials and representatives of the business community in and around Healdsburg, Windsor and Cloverdale. Organizational members include the Alexander Valley Association, the Dry Creek Valley Association, the Westside Association to Save Agriculture and the Russian Riverkeeper.
Speak Up on Healdsburg Wastewater Irrigation Plan!
In August, the City of Healdsburg issued a Negative Declaration proposing to irrigate over 300 acres of agricultural vineyard land south and west of the City’s wastewater treatment plant with advanced treated wastewater. The Clean Water Coalition submitted
substantive comments requesting that Healdsburg complete the necessary studies – most notably a Water Balance study and groundwater impact analyses – prior to approving an agricultural reuse project in the drinking water aquifer.
View environmental documents, and request the City schedule a public hearing at:
