The Eel-Russian Project Authority is a joint powers authority formed in 2023 to develop infrastructure that will maintain seasonal water diversions from the Eel River to the Russian River after PG&E ends that crucial flow. It’s governed by a five-member Board of Directors consisting of representatives from the County of Sonoma, Sonoma County Water Agency (Sonoma Water), Mendocino County Inland Water and Power Commission and Round Valley Indian Tribes.
