Oxnard City plans $13.3 million for water mains, nearly $30 million for citywide meter replacements
Summary
City staff described capital improvements to replace aging distribution mains in Hudson and Canadá neighborhoods and to replace all customer water meters across Oxnard over the next three years, including deployment of an advanced metering system with leak alerts.
Oxnard City staff outlined plans to invest $13.3 million to replace aging water distribution mains in multiple locations, including the Hudson and Canadá neighborhoods, and nearly $30 million to replace every customer water meter across the city.
A staff member presenting the capital improvement plan (CIP) said the distribution mains targeted for replacement are more than 60 years old and that the meter-replacement program would occur over the next three years. The staff member described the meter work as a citywide project: “The city will replace each [meter] during the next three years,” the presentation said.
The presentation said the new advanced metering system will allow customers to monitor water use in real time and provide leak-detection notifications intended to help avoid higher bills. The staff member also said the CIP helps guide how the city will develop water resilience and maintain a safe, secure water supply.
The transcript did not record a formal vote or further action instructions related to these investments.
The items were presented as part of the CIP overview; no ordinance number, funding source details, contract awards or implementation schedule beyond the three-year meter timeline were specified in the provided transcript.
