On May 4, 2020, the Ventura City Council moved to approve Water Commission’s recommendation to reduce to a Stage 2 Water Shortage Event. As a reminder, Stage 3 Water Shortage rates were implemented in September 2015 and will remain in effect through June 30, 2020. The Stage 2 rate change will become effective July 1, 2020. The Water Bill Calculator is available to estimate how Stage 2 rates will impact your water bill.
