A government agency on the South Coast is trying to make it easier for the public to get help.

The Ventura County Public Works Agency has launched VCPWA Connect! for a direct, convenient way for community members to report problems within the unincorporated areas of the county.

Poisons had long been used to protect levees and dams from rodents. But, now, Ventura County has turned to a more environmentally friendly approach. A South Coast Boy Scout troop is helping the county attract birds of prey to do the work that poisons once did.

A new water pipeline is bringing millions of gallons of recycled water to a South Coast city.

The Ventura County Public Works Agency has recently completed a two-mile recycled water pipeline and booster pump station.
