Oxnard Establishes Channel Islands Harbor Response Team, Hotline to Report Water Quality in Harbor

Oxnard, California – The City of Oxnard has established a Channel Harbor Response team and a hotline for residents to report odors or discoloration of water in the Channel Islands Harbor area.

“There are a lot of unknowns at this time, but the city is taking the matter seriously and taking immediate action to determine the cause,” said Oxnard Mayor Tim Flynn.

Oxnard Council member Bert Perello added: “My highest priority, and the city’s highest priority, is the health, safety and welfare of Oxnard residents.”

On June 18, within 24 hours of receiving a call, the city collected water samples at five locations in the Channel Islands Harbor and Edison Canal area; results are expected within a week.

Samples were taken at the Channel Islands Harbor inlet, along South Harbor Boulevard; near West Channel Islands Boulevard bridge; along West Hemlock Street; the Edison Canal near the Edison Trash Collector; and near West Fifth Street bridge.

The city was also out today taking samples at various locations during low tide. Additional samples will be taken later today during high tide.

Thomas Fire Information

Oxnard, California – The Thomas Fire continues to burn in numerous areas of Ventura County. At this time there is no active fire or threat to the City of Oxnard. Resources from the Oxnard Fire and Police Departments continue to assist with the response, and city officials are closely monitoring the spread of the fire.

Sporadic power outages continue throughout the region due to fire and wind conditions. Additionally, numerous roads and highways are closed in and around the fire areas including intermittent closures of Highway 150, Highway 33 and US 101 north of the City of Ventura.

As the winds shift throughout the day, residents can expect that smoke conditions in Oxnard can range from light to heavy. During smoky conditions, residents are advised to limit their physical activity and stay indoors with windows and doors closed as much as possible. Running air conditioning units can also help reduce smoke levels indoors. The use of dust masks (particulate respirators) and eye protection may help reduce these effects but may not be effective for everyone. If you or a family member are experiencing severe or prolonged distress, you should consider temporarily moving out of the area and contacting your doctor.

High winds and “Red Flag” fire conditions are expected to continue throughout the weekend. Residents are asked to use extreme caution when driving and be aware of hazards such as malfunctioning traffic signals, blowing dust, responding emergency vehicles, downed trees, branches and powerlines.

As a reminder there is no threat or active fire in the City of Oxnard. The municipal water system is functioning normally and the water supply is safe to drink. There are no planned utility interruptions or shutdowns scheduled. Residents are urged to monitor local media reports for information and NOT call 911 unless they have an immediate emergency situation. For non-emergency matters, call 805-385-7740

In honor of Women’s History Month, the Oxnard Public Library will host “Sam the Piano Man” who will talk about women composers during the ragtime era. We often hear about the men, such as Scott Joplin, Joseph Lamb, and James Scott, but we seldom hear about the women.

Sam Hobel is a pianist, a freelance writer, and an American music history consultant. He will discuss how in the past, male ragtime composers received more attention than their female counterparts; in fact, women were often excluded from this profession. He will acquaint us with who these composers were, how they lived, and why they didn’t become as famous as their male counterparts.

After the informal lecture, Hobel will delight the audience with “A Ragtime Suite from the Other Wing,” which is a suite he compiled containing excerpts from 12 different ragtime pieces from 11 female composers.

This presentation is free and will take place on Tuesday, March 15, at 4:00 p.m., at the Oxnard Public Main Library in meeting room B. For further information, please call (805) 385-7532.
