Recycled Water Expansion

Of all the possible solutions to increasing our local water supply, recycled water is the most promising because the more recycled water is used for irrigation, the less drinking water is needed for that purpose. This frees up our more expensive potable water supply to be used for drinking water and indoor use.

Camrosa is a leader in Recycled Water in Ventura County , providing the necessary treatment and distribution system for recycled water that can be safely used for all non-potable uses. Camrosa is already using recycled water and non-potable surface water diverted from Conejo Creek in a number of places including:

Leisure Village Golf Course and common areas
Agricultural Irrigation
State Channel Islands Landscaping
Residential Landscape - University Glen, Wildwood Estates and Camelot

Produced by the Camrosa Water Reclamation Facility which was built in 1997, the reclaimed, disinfected water is tested daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly and annually as required by the Department of Health Services. Use of recycled water reduces agricultural and irrigation demand on limited drinking water supplies – and there is plenty of room for further development and use of this available and economical resource.

Expansion of the infrastructure needed to transport this resource to more areas within the district will provide a drought-proof and reliable source of local water. Camrosa is therefore committed to building the necessary infrastructure to distribute the water throughout additional areas of the district and preserve the use of drinking water for indoor and drinking usage.
