The City of Camarillo is planning a long-term upgrade to its wastewater treatment infrastructure, a generational investment in reliable service for decades to come. The City has engaged Jacobs as its Owner Advisor to evaluate the most effective and affordable way forward, with water reuse as the primary approach being studied. This website is the central place to keep informed as the project progresses.
Camarillo’s wastewater treatment facilities have served the community for decades. Like any major infrastructure, the system needs to be modernized to continue operating reliably for future generations. The focus is on moving forward in an affordable, responsible, and long-lasting way.
That is why the City is taking time to study the most affordable approach before committing to a specific path. The longer infrastructure decisions are delayed, the more they cost. Careful, strategic preparation now will protect ratepayers in the long term.
Background
The infrastructure that treats Camarillo’s wastewater is nearing the end of its useful life. Major equipment, systems, and processes need to be modernized to meet current and future regulatory standards, maintain reliable service, and protect the environment.
Rates and Cost Context
Camarillo’s wastewater rates are part of a four-year rate structure approved by the City Council. Detailed information about current rates and the approved structure is available on the City’s rates page.
