Sonoma County Water Agency seeking water conservation plan

The Associated Press – 5/28/08

SANTA ROSA, Calif. -- People from Windsor to San Rafael may be asked to cut back on their water usage this summer.

Because of low water levels in Lake Mendocino, officials with the Sonoma County Water Agency are asking the districts they provide water for to come up a conservation plan.

The agency serves districts that provide water for about 600,000 residents from Windsor to San Rafael.

Officials say with the water level down, they're concerned about not having enough water in the lake for the fall salmon run.#
