Dear PVMWC Shareholders,

​

Every December you are the ones that vote in our Board of Directors.  In November of 2025, you'll have a ballot sent to your billing address with all incumbents and nominees listed.  You'll be asked to vote and mail or return your ballot to PVMWC.

​

Below are your chosen 2025 Board of Directors, along with their abbreviated biographies.  We are pleased to serve, you, our community, to ensure PVMWC maintains its high quality water standards and practices.

​

JAMES GRAHAM, Board President 

​

For 20 years  I've been a PVMWC Board Member. Previously I served 25 years with Las Virgenes Municipal Water District, in various positions, mostly Public Relations with a focus on Water Reclamation, Water Conservation and Bio solids Composting. I could write a book, as could the other incumbents of our experience. Jay Dunlap and I are also Veterans of the Army and Navy.

PAUL DE BUSSCHERE, Board Vice President/Treasurer

​

I have been a resident in the Camarillo Heights since 2011 and served as a director of Pleasant Valley Mutual Water since 2014. I have experience with shallow and deep water well facilities and pipelines similar to what conveys water to our homes and businesses here in Camarillo. I respectfully request to continue service as a director and look forward to representing you for the upcoming term should you so choose.

Dear Members of Pleasant Valley Mutual Water Company,

My name is Jay M. Dunlap. I've served on our board for numerous years.  I am writing to formally announce my candidacy, once again, for a seat on the Board of Directors in the upcoming election in 2025. My experience and dedication to our community inspires me to contribute to the ongoing success and sustainability of the Pleasant Valley Mutual Water Company.  I look forward to the opportunity to continue to bring thoughtful leadership and collaboration to the board, ensuring our water system continues to meet the needs of our customers and community.  Thank you for your consideration and support.

GEORGE GOMES DA COSTA, Board Member  

​

Dear Water Customer and PVMWC Shareholder,

I am running to be on the board of our water company. I first moved to Camarillo in 1998. My background is in electrical engineering, I have degrees in physics and economics. My career was split evenly between engineering and writing software to control industrial machines and instruments. Now I am largely retired and manage a couple of properties I own. I am volunteering my time to this work because water is one of the most valuable and important natural resources we have. Also, it is important we work to protect our rights to it and deliver it to our homes cost effectively. I am looking forward to seeing the water softening system, that we have already paid a special assessment, gets finally put into place. I want to help get this finished.  I ask for you to vote. Thank you.

Dear Shareholders, 

I've lived in the Heights for 45 years. I’m grateful to PVMWC for their ongoing  commitment and dedication, ensuring the quality and sustainability of our water resources. I’m especially grateful to our PVMWC engineers, who worked days, around the clock, to save us and as many homes, as possible, during the November 2024 unprecedented Mountain Fire Storm.  With other first responders, PVMWC engineers, left their own families, in peril, while helping extinguish the fire. I am a minister, but in years, previously, I was owner of a video company that created numerous, educational videos for the Oxnard Wastewater Plant,  Oxnard City Water Division, Calleguas Water District, Ventura County Water District and Ventura County Public Works. This body of work gave me a greater understanding of our vital water resources and how to preserve them.
