Agreement on New Eel-Russian Facility
Posted:
July 28, 2025
Today, Sonoma Water and seven other parties reached an agreement to develop the New Eel-Russian Facility. This facility will support reliable water supply in the Russian Basin, while contributing to restoration of salmon fisheries in the Eel River. Sonoma Water is a member of the Eel-Russian Project Authority (ERPA), which will permit, construct and operate this facility. ERPA will construct this new facility at the same time that PG&E decommissions the existing Potter Valley Project as uneconomic for power supply.

Water and Power Law Group is special counsel to Sonoma Water for the Water Diversion Agreement.
