Pursuant to California Water Code, those persons who have aggregate groundwater extractions of more than 25 acre-feet (or 10 acre-feet or more from a single source) must file an annual report of their extractions to the state. OBGMA takes care of this reporting requirement on behalf of groundwater extraction facilities within its boundaries. In order to get registered with the state, however, a “First Notice of Groundwater Extraction” form must be completed for each new well.
Ojai Basin Groundwater Management Agency is fully committed to providing accessible facilities, elements and
channels of communication to all members of the public. As part of this commitment, Ojai Basin Groundwater Management Agency
