Note from a Ventura Resident
Ventura resident, Carol Alvarado, shares her experience with the Instant Hot Water Recirculating Pump Program.

"I had the system installed yesterday and it's absolutely fantastic. It was totally worth it and I'm so pleased to have the convenience in the house and to know we are saving gallons of water too."

The recirculating hot water pump connects to existing plumbing and provides instant hot water to every faucet and shower, saving residents up to 15,000 gallons per year!

Currently, there is a wait list for the program. Ventura Water customers are encouraged to apply should funds become available in the future. Learn more here.

Dear Valued Customer,
 
I have exciting news! Ventura Water was recently recognized at the state-level for its community outreach efforts.

Last summer, Ventura Water hosted its first ever Summer Open House event at the Ventura Water Reclamation Facility. Over 300 members of the public toured the City of Ventura’s wastewater treatment plant and learned about the VenturaWaterPure project.
 
Earlier this year, the Summer Open House event was recognized as Community Engagement and Outreach Project of the Year by the California Water Environment Association’s (CWEA) Tri-Counties Section.

On February 21, 2020, it was announced that the Summer Open House placed second in the State of California for its outreach efforts. Ventura Water will be honored at the CWEA’s Annual Conference in Reno, Nevada in March 2020. 
 
The Summer Open House was an opportunity to showcase all the hard work and technology that goes into treating the community’s wastewater along with Ventura’s plans to provide a local, sustainable water supply through the VenturaWaterPure Project. 
 
This summer we hope to keep the tradition running! We look forward to providing additional opportunities for the community to tour Ventura Water’s trusted facilities. 

Sincerely,
Susan Rungren
Ventura Water
General Manager
