The drought emergency in Petaluma continues to be very serious. Lake Sonoma’s water levels are currently lower than they were this time last year (2021) and drastically lower than in 2020. If we do not experience substantial rainfall in March, it is likely that the City of Petaluma will have reduced water allocations from its water supplier, Sonoma Water, beginning in July or earlier. If you have relaxed any of your water-saving practices this winter, we ask you to return to your water conservation efforts to help us reduce citywide use.

Did you know indoor household water needs can typically be met using 25-50 gallons per person per day? During the summer months, water use can increase due to outdoor irrigation. To provide you with the information needed to gauge your households water use, we have a Water Use Calculator on our website. Click here to learn more.
After calculating your water use, set a goal of how you can start or continue to save water. We encourage you to visit our Water Conservation webpage to learn how to save water both indoors and outdoors.
