More energy for less
Sonoma County’s Energy Independence Program is a new opportunity for property owners to finance energy efficiency, water efficiency and renewable energy improvements through a voluntary assessment. These assessments will be attached to the property, not the owner and will be paid back through the property tax system over time, making the program not only energy efficient but also affordable. For more specific information about the program, please go here.
Energy efficiency is looking up.

Make waves, conserve water.
Delivering water to consumers and then treating it after it goes down the drain, comprises the single largest use of energy in Sonoma County. The Sonoma County Energy Independence Program can be used to help reduce your water use as well as your energy consumption.
The Russian River is a major water source for Sonoma County’s households and businesses.When choosing energy efficiency improvements, think about replacing your toilets, upgrading your irrigation controller, and reducing water going down the drain with an on-demand hot water system. Please refer to the improvements section for specific water conservation equipment allowed under the program.
