From the Santa Rosa Press Democrat:

Despite the weekend heat wave, North Bay residents are doing a good job cutting back on water use and meeting conservation goals, officials say. “Overall water use has been lower than previous years, despite temperatures that peaked at 107 (degrees) in our region,” said Brad Sherwood, a spokesman for the Sonoma County Water Agency. “It was a pleasant surprise.”

The water agency serves about 600,000 people, including in Santa Rosa, Rohnert Park, Cotati, Petaluma, Sonoma, the Valley of the Moon, North Marin and Marin Municipal water districts.

Santa Rosa officials said Monday they also are pleased with the reduction in water consumption in the city. “Our customers are doing a fantastic job of reducing water use,” said Glen Wright, Santa Rosa’s deputy director of water resources.
