Calleguas Municipal Water District and Ventura County Waterworks District 1 distribute Title 22 recycled water to qualifying Moorpark commercial, school, and HOA irrigation customers through purple-pipe connections subject to CDPH cross-connection rules.
California Code of Regulations Title 22 governs recycled water use for irrigation, dust control, and industrial processes. In Moorpark, parks, golf courses, freeway landscaping, and large HOAs with recycled-water mains use purple-marked pipes and signage. Connections require an approved cross-connection control test and an annual site inspection. Drinking from sprinklers, indoor potable use, and irrigation runoff into waterways are prohibited. Calleguas Salinity Management Pipeline removes brine from the basin to expand recycled water availability. Single-family homes are generally not connected, but new master-planned tracts may include dual plumbing where economical.
Cross-connections to potable plumbing trigger immediate disconnection, mandatory backflow testing, and fines from the Ventura County Environmental Health Division and the State Water Resources Control Board.
