Santa Clara River Levee 3 Flood Protection

Oxnard

Summary

After 18 years, the levee protecting roughly 6,000 North Oxnard homes is about 90% complete, and the council's $2.35 million covers the last of the reimbursement — no additional city money needed. Once certified by FEMA, many homeowners could see mandatory flood insurance requirements drop.
