MOORPARK WATER RECLAMATION FACILITY
Since 1965, the District has provided wastewater collection, treatment, and disposal services to customers within the City of Moorpark and surrounding areas. While the District is authorized to provide wastewater service throughout its service area, it provides this service within only a portion of its jurisdictional area (i.e., generally, within the City of Moorpark). The District’s wastewater system includes approximately 107 miles of sewer lines (ranging from 6-inch to 33-inch pipeline), four lift stations, and a treatment facility known as the Moorpark Water Reclamation Facility (MWRF). The current rated design capacity of the facility is 5.0 MGD (millions gallons per day) with the current average influent flow of 2.0 MGD. The MWRF (located at 9550 E. Los Angeles Avenue, west of the City of Moorpark, as shown below) was constructed in 1965 and was last expanded in 2009.

PIRU WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT
Ventura County Waterworks District No. 16 provides wastewater collection and treatment services to the unincorporated community of Piru. From 1974 to 2010, the District operated a wastewater treatment plant that had a design capacity of 200,000 gallons per day (GPD). In 2010, the District began operation of a secondary treatment wastewater treatment facility, known as the Piru Wastewater Treatment Plant, located at 2815 E. Telegraph Road. The facility entirely replaced the previous treatment plant and has the permitted capacity to treat dry weather flows of up to 0.5 million gallons per day (MGD) and a peak day wet weather flow of 1.75 MGD. Existing plant facilities include influent pumps, trash screens, two oxidation ditches, two clarifiers, two aerobic digesters, and a sludge drying system, and effluent is discharged into percolation ponds. More recently, the facility was upgraded to include a solids dewatering press facility; and a desalination facility.
TODD ROAD JAIL WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT
Construction of the County’s Todd Road Jail was completed in March 1995. Water and Sanitation Department operates and maintains the jail’s wastewater treatment plant. Effluent generated from the inmates, commercial kitchen, and laundry is treated and disposed of at the site. Wastewater is transported by a gravity sewer to a wet well with submersible grinder pumps. The wastewater from the wet well is lifted to a drum screen then pumped to an extended aeration system and two clarifiers. Disposal is by percolation and evaporation.
COUNTY SERVICE AREA NO. 29 (CSA 29) – NORTH COAST
County Service Area No. 29 (CSA 29) was formed on December 15, 1978, to construct, operate and maintain a sewer system in the community of North Coast to serve Solimar Beach, Faria Beach, Seacliff, and Mussel Shoals. The North Coast Sewer System is a Septic Tank Effluent Pump (STEP) system in operation since 1982. It serves approximately 300 service connections and comprises 13 miles of force main (some gravity lines), 3.6 miles of electrical conduit, and 155 STEP pumps with electric panels, 160 tanks, and 6 lift stations.

Highway 101 on the south, Santa Clara Avenue on the west, Del Norte Boulevard off-ramp on the east, and the Nyeland Drain on the north. The original sewer collection system was a Septic Tank Effluent Pump (STEP) system.

The STEP system was replaced with a conventional gravity system and a lift station in 1999. There are 2.9 miles of sewer lines. Since December 1998, the sewage has been discharged to the City of Oxnard for treatment and disposal. The treatment plant was removed in 1999. Since July 1, 1999, the Water and Sanitation Department has managed the system and is currently responsible for the daily operations and maintenance.

CAMARILLO UTILITY ENTERPRISE (CUE) – CAMARILLO AIRPORT
