Drinking water in Oxnard, California is delivered through 13 EPA-regulated community water systems serving an estimated 212,540 people. Each system is tracked in the EPA Safe Drinking Water Information System (SDWIS) under the Safe Drinking Water Act, which requires testing for regulated contaminants, consumer notification of violations, and publication of an annual Consumer Confidence Report.

The records carry 2 distinct EPA contaminant codes: LEAD AND COPPER RULE REVISIONS, Nitrate. 9 TRI-reporting industrial facilities are also located within the city limits.
A past EPA health-based registry row does not describe water delivered today or current compliance status; utilities notify customers and remediate under state primacy oversight when required.

All records above reflect federal EPA SDWIS data and are not independently verified against state databases.
