RRCWD's New Tank Mural
When the very talented Muralist and Fine Artist Amanda Lynn first approached the board several months ago and asked if she could paint a mural on one of our tanks, we were like, "What?" – never having been asked by anyone if they could to do this.
Ms. Lynn wanted to do a community project and needed a large surface on which to work. Once we viewed her site (alynnpaint.com) , saw her delightful work, had our attorney make sure this was kosher and the fact she would do it for free, the board was all-in.
She painted all the way around this very tall and very wide tank and used her own equipment.
We are so pleased with the results and want to thank Ms. Lynn for choosing our water district tank.
If anyone would like to see it, drive up Woodside Road. It can be seen from the road. Please do not disturb the neighbors.

Who We Are
The Russian River County Water District is a public water system established under the Water Code of the State of California. It provides fresh, safe, high-quality water for both domestic use and fire protection to just over 1,200 Forestville households nestled along the Russian River in western Sonoma County, California.
Services
The Russian River County Water District delivers clean, high quality potable water that consistently — and readily — surpasses health standards set by the State of California.
Our sealed wells in the Russian River plain are protected from flooding, while our series of interconnected water tanks provide water for home use and a network of high pressure fire hydrants throughout our service area.
Water Quality
The district tests water samples monthly and, in accordance with California Department of Public Health requirements, publishes the results in an annual Water Quality Report, mailed to each household served.
Water Conservation
The district’s board believes that investing in efficiency is the best – and the cheapest – path toward both conserving our natural water resources and the district’s long-term economic health. Chasing these goals, the board periodically offers free low-flow toilets to replace older, water-wasting models to reduce water consumption by district customers. (Toilets have been shown to be the single biggest user of water in the average home.)
Indoor Conservation Tips
- Find and repair leaks now
- Install high-efficiency toilets
- Run the dishwasher and washing machine with full loads only
- Install water- and energy-efficient appliances
- Install low-flow showerheads
- Fill the bathtub halfway or less
- Turn water off when brushing teeth or shaving
Outdoor Conservation Tips
- Reduce your watering days to once or twice per week
- Plant native or water-wise species
- Inspect and tune up irrigation system monthly
- Irrigate between midnight and 6AM to reduce water loss from evaporation and wind
- Use a broom, not a hose, to clean driveway, deck or patio
- Use a bucket and a hose with self-closing nozzle to wash the car or take your car to a carwash that recycles water
- Cover pools and hot tubs to reduce evaporation
