Water Meters to Track Use by Farmers, Others

The Russian River Flood Control and Water Conservation Improvement District will advise about 70 growers, water districts and other businesses that use water under the district’s permit.
The district is entitled to 8,000 acre-feet of water from Lake Mendocino every year, but its low level this year is raising concerns about water shortages.
