The Sonoma County Water Agency has commenced inflation of a rubber dam on the Russian River, a vital measure for providing clean drinking water to over 600,000 residents in Sonoma and Marin counties. The process, which may take 4 to 14 days based on river conditions, aims to create a pool for water extraction into infiltration ponds, thus replenishing the groundwater supply. Boaters must portage around the dam, and fishing is restricted within 250 feet. The seasonal operation aligns with rising water demand, and the agency encourages careful water use and leak repairs.
