Due to a recent storm event and subsequent release, whitewater boating is available on weekends and by reservation by calling Chief Park Ranger Clayton Strahan at (805) 790-4311. Please be advised that while whitewater boating is available, we are advising extreme CAUTION due to heavy flows and significant debris in the watershed as a result of storms.

HISTORY

Originally formed as the Santa Clara Water Conservation District in 1927, voters approved the formation of United Water Conservation District in 1950. Over the years, United has constructed numerous facilities, pipelines and recharge basins – including the Santa Felicia Dam, Lake Piru Reservoir and Freeman Diversion ¬– to enhance the local water system and maintain sustainable water management.

Today, we continue to serve as the conservator of groundwater resources that are utilized by the cities of Oxnard, Port Hueneme, Ventura, Santa Paula, and Fillmore, as well as Naval Base Ventura County and several mutual water districts, farms and individual pumpers. We also provide surface water for agricultural irrigation and treated drinking water to the cities of Oxnard and Port Hueneme.
