Calleguas is a SWP Dependent Agency
Water from the State Water Project began flowing into the
Calleguas service area in 1972. 5 years following the
introduction of water from the CRA.
Salinity presents challenges within the Calleguas service
area, which includes the Calleguas Creek Watershed and
Oxnard Plain.
Calleguas only receives full-service treated water supplies
from Metropolitan.
Calleguas maintains a single point of connection with
Metropolitan.

Targe 30% overall reduction
Irrigation of Non-Functional Turf prohibited by Statefor Commercial, Institutional, Industrial, HOA, andMulti-family properties

Ventura County Waterworks Slide 15

Why Focus on Outdoor Irrigation?
Ventura County Waterworks
40% -70% of water use in service area
is outdoors
Replacing turf saves ~44 gallons per sq.
foot annually
Calleguas’ demands have decreased
~20% since last drought
Some of the decline attributed
to turf conversion
Turf still abundant in Moorpark
Thirsty lawns + inefficient irrigation
accounts for most outdoor water use
