Healdsburg Runs on Its Own Wells
Healdsburg, California does not drink aqueduct water. Unlike Windsor, Cotati and Rohnert Park, which are supplied from Sonoma Water's Russian River Project, Healdsburg runs its own municipal groundwater: three well fields, two along the Russian River and one on Dry Creek. The City treats that supply itself, and its water quality reporting documents chemical treatment and ultrafiltration. City of Healdsburg Utilities runs both water and sewer, and the City also operates a recycled water programme, though no citywide recycled-water plumbing mandate is documented. No private sewer lateral inspection or point-of-sale requirement is documented in the City's published material either. Avanté Plumbing does leak detection, drain and sewer clearing, water heater repair and replacement, repiping, gas lines and fixture installation across Sonoma County under California CSLB licence #841938 (C-36 Plumbing), family-run since 2004.

Local detail
Plumbing in Healdsburg: what's actually different here
Water chemistry, housing age and city rules vary across the North Bay. Everything below is sourced from Healdsburg and Sonoma County public records.
Is Healdsburg on aqueduct water or its own wells?
Its own wells. Healdsburg's reported sources are three municipal well fields — two along the Russian River and one on Dry Creek — rather than a Sonoma Water aqueduct connection as the primary supply. That makes it different from Windsor, Cotati and Rohnert Park a few miles south, which are on the regional Russian River Project.
How is Healdsburg's water treated?
The City treats its own groundwater rather than receiving finished aqueduct supply. Its water quality reporting documents chemical treatment and ultrafiltration on the municipal well supply. The City also runs a recycled water programme, although the available material does not establish any citywide recycled-water plumbing mandate for ordinary properties.
Does Healdsburg require a sewer lateral inspection at sale?
Not that we can document. No private sewer lateral inspection or point-of-sale requirement appears in the City's published material. That is not proof none exists, and the City is the right place to confirm before a sale — but it is a genuine difference from Marin districts an hour south, where Ross Valley, Tiburon, Corte Madera and Sausalito–Marin City all require certificates on transfer.
