Public Works & Transportation Committee 09 09 2025 Agenda Item D5

The City of Oxnard's Public Works & Transportation Committee discussed the adoption of the 2025 Water System Design and Construction Standards, which update the previous 2002 standards and design criteria for public infrastructure projects including streets, water, and wastewater systems. This update is a collaborative effort between engineering and waterworks staff to align with the latest industry standards and government regulations. The new standards are presented as a standalone document and will be overseen by the public works community development engineer to ensure ongoing relevance and quality control. There is no financial impact associated with this update. The committee recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution approving these updated standards and delegate authority to the city manager to implement the resolution's intent.
