The City of Oceanside is pleased to announce the release of its 2018 Water Quality Report.  This report shows that the City system continues to meet or exceed all state and federal drinking water standards. City staff collects water quality samples to test for over 90 different substances throughout the year to ensure that the City’s drinking water meets the highest standards for quality and safety.  Samples from drinking water plants and in the City’s distribution system were analyzed and reported in the 2018 Water Quality Report.  “Oceanside’s drinking water is closely monitored to ensure the highest quality of water is delivered to our customers,” said Water Utilities Director Cari Dale.  “Our highest priority is delivering safe and reliable water.” ​

The City of Oceanside is pleased to announce that it will receive $1.5 Million in funding from the Bureau of Reclamation’s WaterSMART Water and Energy Efficiency Grant, subject to Federal appropriations.  The funding will be used to construct Phase 1 of a new Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) network, including retrofitting 21,689 existing meters and integrating the AMI system with the existing customer interface platform.  Once the project is complete, 49% of the City’s meters will be connected to the AMI network.  The AMI system will provide real-time information to customers about leaks, breaks, and other unusual consumption patterns. ​
