The City of Port Hueneme Water Agency held a meeting on July 20, 2026, which included a closed session regarding anticipated litigation related to a three-party agreement on water credits and pumping allocations. The open session covered approval of the agenda and consent calendar items, including the register of disbursements and monthly operational report. A significant portion of the discussion focused on a water tank repair project involving 13 change orders, some of which were due to unforeseen minor repairs such as pinholes requiring steel plate welding and standby equipment charges. The project is expected to be completed by mid-August, with some potential for slight delays. Preventive maintenance at the water treatment facility continues despite the plant being offline. Additionally, members discussed an upcoming bond measure related to Santa Felicia Dam improvements, which will appear on the November ballot, highlighting the dam's seismic and flood risks. The agency plans to receive a detailed presentation on the bond measure at the September meeting. No new contracts or procurement awards were made during this meeting.
