Ventura Water and the City of Ventura Parks and Recreation have partnered to re-purpose an estimated 200,000 gallons of water during the annual mainline flushing program!
Water main flushing is an important maintenance process that cleans out sediment and corrosion that adheres to pipes over time. In total, the City of Ventura will be flushing at approximately 200 locations where water mains end and pose water quality challenges.
Rather than allowing water to go to waste, it will be collected in the City’s Urban Forestry truck used to irrigate grass and trees at Arroyo Verde Park, Camino Real Park, Barranca Vista, Chumash Park, Hobart Park, and Community Park.
