Capital Improvement Plan
Wastewater utility projects identified in the 2021 – 2026 City of Oxnard Five Year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) can be viewed here.
CIP OVERVIEW
The Wastewater Division is responsible for the management, planning, operation, and maintenance of the City of Oxnard Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) and the Wastewater Collection System. In 2017, the City of Oxnard adopted a Master Plan that included a Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for the WWTP. It recommended a ten year, three phased approach to improve the reliability of the WWTP. An extensive Rate Study was done, and in July 2017, under Ordinance No. 2917, rate increases were approved to provide funding for phase one and phase two.
These two funded phases include Phase #1 Emergency Repairs and Phase #2 Reliability Improvements.
By replacing aging facilities and obsolete equipment, we are able to minimize the frequency of failures, costly emergency repairs, excessive maintenance, and the risk of regulatory violations.
