Moving Oxnard Forward

Oxnard’s government is going all out to sell you on proposed 60% utility rate increases that will cost the typical household an extra $750 per year. 

But can you trust their sales pitch?

Here are some things Oxnard hopes you won’t notice about the proposed increases to Oxnard’s water, wastewater, and solid waste rates… 

The City of Oxnard is proposing very large increases for the utility services they provide.  If the city council approves it, for a typical single family household in Oxnard:

• Water rates will increase by 66% over the next four years
• Wastewater rates will increase by 88%
• Garbage collection rates (solid waste) will increase by 23%
• It will cost about $750 extra each year for these utilities combined

And that’s not all.  The city is also proposing automatic annual increases without a requirement that they give you future opportunities to protest those future increases.

The Ventura County Star is covering our effort to organize protests against Oxnard's proposed 60% utility rate increases.
