SONOMA COUNTY, CA — A virtual town hall Wednesday will focus on the drought and impacts to Sonoma County's Second Supervisorial District and Russian River watershed. The Sonoma County Water Agency and Second District Supervisor David Rabbitt will host the town hall which begins at 5:30 p.m. on Zoom. Speakers will include representatives from the Sonoma County Water Agency (Sonoma Water), the Sonoma County Agricultural Commissioner, the City of Petaluma, the National Weather Service and the Sonoma County Farm Bureau. "The drought we are experiencing is unprecedented and this Town Hall is an opportunity to hear from residents about the challenges they are facing and to provide resources to help them make the best possible decisions," Rabbitt said. "In the Second District our agricultural community is facing extremely hard choices and it is critical to find ways to support them through this drought." The Second District includes all of the cities of Petaluma and Cotati and a portion of Rohnert Park, as well as the unincorporated communities of Penngrove, Two Rock, Bloomfield, and a portion of the unincorporated community south of Sebastopol. Speakers will discuss the drought, its impact on the southern Sonoma County community, drought response actions underway by Sonoma Water, and a seasonal precipitation prediction for Sonoma County.
