“Water … essential to all life: past, present and future”
Mission
The water and recycled water program provides safe, clean and reliable water for potable, fire protection, and recycled uses. Our water meets or exceeds regulatory requirements and is produced in a cost-effective manner to ensure the health and safety of Oxnard residents and visitors.
Programs
Water Conservation and Education Program protects future water resources through effective conservation practices by providing education and training, funding opportunities, and technical assistance to all City water customers. Activities include public outreach, classes, education, monitoring, and enforcement programs to promote good stewardship and the efficient use of the City’s water resources.
Right now it pays to save. Learn more about how you can save water and money with residential indoor rebates, and turf removal and irrigation efficiency devices rebates as well as commercial rebates available to Oxnard water customers.
Water Production and Treatment Program supplies the City’s water customers with a reliable potable water supply utilizing both imported water and groundwater treated at the Desalter to produce a product that is both aesthetically pleasing and meets or exceeds current Federal and State drinking water standards.

This program minimizes the risk of distribution system contamination from customer activity and maintains the security of water system facilities.
