Water conservation mandatory in Sonoma

At its June 20 meeting, the Sonoma City Council voted unanimously to adopt a new resolution establishing mandatory water conservation measures by which Sonoma city water customers must comply starting July 1.
If a resident violates one of the conservation regulations, which include using a broom – not a hose and water to clean driveways- he or she will first receive an “oops tag” before facing increasingly harsher penalties, ranging from a $70 fine for anyone receiving a second oops tag to water shut-off.
