As major changes hang over the shape of the region’s water supply, a group of agricultural landowners in northern Sonoma County is advancing the latest attempt to create a new water district for the area. … The proposal comes at a pivotal moment for water users throughout the Russian River watershed. … Pacific Gas and Electric Co. last year surrendered its license for the [Potter Valley] project, saying it is outdated and costly, leaving the utility, local governments and federal regulators to re-envision the future of the Eel and Russian River watersheds without the Scott and Cape Horn dams in Lake and Mendocino County. For Alexander Valley’s agricultural landowners, the proposed water district is an attempt to gain more control over how the valley prepares for that future.
