Sonoma's historic core, older neighborhoods and valley homes all share one seasonal job: getting gutters and drainage ready before the rain. In its October 16, 2026 winter notice, the City of Sonoma noted the potential for a strong El Niño and asked residents to keep gutters and drainage areas clear and to keep leaves out of storm drains (City of Sonoma).
Sonoma roof notes
- Historic and older homes near the Plaza, where repairs should respect original details and any applicable local design review.
- Leaf-heavy streets in fall that clog gutters quickly.
- Fire exposure on the valley's edges. Check CAL FIRE's hazard zone viewer.
- Sandbags: the City's self-service station at Depot Park opens October 20, 2026, with empty bags at City Hall (City of Sonoma).
