Camrosa Water District is an independent Special District dedicated to serving reliable, high quality and affordable water to its customers.  Camrosa provides three classes of water (potable, non-potable and reclaimed water) and also provides sanitary services to parcels in the southwest portion of the District.  

Camrosa Water District (originally known as Camarillo County Water District) was formed in July 1962. Numerous changes have occurred since the District was originally incorporated. The service area has more than doubled as a result of annexations, and the population has increased significantly. The District is among the largest in Ventura County in number of connections and population served.

The District is governed by a 5 member Board of Directors.   Board Meetings are held twice each month in public session to plan policy and provide direction to Staff.  Agendas are prepared and posted for public information

In 1998, the District constructed a new Water Reclamation Facility to reclaim water from sanitary service flows in the western portion of the District. The facility provides supplementary water to nearby agricultural and landscape users. 

Daily operation of the District falls under the responsibility of the General Manager. The 20 member staff maintains over 10,000 water and 7,500 sanitary service connections in a service area spread over 31 square miles. District Offices are located at 7385 Santa Rosa Road.

Camrosa is fortunate to have several sources of water and separate delivery systems in place to deliver three separate classes of water.  While existing sources of water are considered sufficient to meet both the short-term demand and the growth in that demand expected by 2020, the District continues to pursue further use of local resources in order to reduce its dependence on imported water.

 In addition, the Conejo Creek Diversion, now complete, provides water to serve much of the large agricultural and landscape demands in the Mission Oaks area, the lower Santa Rosa Valley and the Pleasant Valley area of the Oxnard Plain.

The District Facilities are all monitored and operated with a state-of-the-art radio telemetry system.  Both the Water Production and Distribution systems as well as  the Water Reclamation Facility can be operated remotely from anywhere in the World.  The use of technology is an important part of the Board's strategy to keep consumer costs low.
