Overview
Oxnard’s Water Division serves residential, commercial, industrial, institutional, and agricultural customers in treating and delivering clean, safe water to more than 43,000 service connections, of which about 85% are single and multi-family residences.
While some neighboring cities in Ventura County rely 100% on imported water, Oxnard has diversified its water portfolio to create locally controlled, reliable sources of water through its investments in innovative water infrastructure projects, such as its reverse osmosis system and blending stations that treat groundwater supplies.
The City also has an Advanced Water Purification Facility (AWPF) that produces recycled water sold to agricultural and industrial customers and the River Ridge golf course.
