Sonoma County Water Agency operates and maintains a water supply and transmission system that provides water to eight local water utilities, including Cotati, Petaluma, Rohnert Park, Santa Rosa, Sonoma, Windsor, North Marin Water District, and Valley of the Moon Water District in addition to providing supplemental water to Marin Municipal Water District. The Sonoma-Marin Saving Water Partnership (Partnership) represents these 10 water utilities.
Each member of the Partnership is a signatory to the California Urban Water Conservation Council (CUWCC) Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). The CUWCC was created to assist in increasing water conservation statewide, under a MOU. As signatories to the MOU, the Partners have pledged good faith effort towards implementing Best Management Practices (BMP) s identified in the CUWCC MOU Regarding Urban Water Conservation.
The two primary purposes of the MOU are:
-
to expedite implementation of reasonable water conservation measures in urban areas, and
-
to establish assumptions for use in calculating estimates of reliable future water conservation savings resulting from proven and reasonable conservation measures.
The Partners recognize that establishing common water conservation projects on a regional basis and applicable across the political and jurisdictional boundaries of each party may be a means of cost effectively conserving more water than would otherwise be conserved on an individual agency-by-agency basis.
