Oceanside residents recognize that water conservation is a way of life in California. We greatly appreciate everything you are doing to increase water efficiency. As the statewide drought continues and we face the warmer months of our third dry year, now is the time to re-examine how we can work together to save even more water during these unprecedented times. Fortunately, the City has been proactive to ensure resilient water infrastructure and to diversify water supplies for our community. More information

Minimizing Coyote Issues - Keep them Wild |
With spring comes coyote pup season and more sightings may occur as coyotes are looking for food and water. There are ways to minimize interactions as they travel through urban settings, such as securing trash cans, picking up backyard fallen fruit, and keeping pets and food inside. If you see one in your neighborhood, let them know they're not welcome by yelling or banging objects. For more information, please visit the CA Department of Fish and Wildlife website.
