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.
