                                          2025 BOARD OF DIRECTORS

​

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.

​

JAY DUNLAP, Board Members 

​

My name is Jay M. Dunlap, and I have had the honor of serving on the Board of Directors for the past two years. I am writing to formally announce my candidacy for re-election to the Board in the upcoming 2026 election, seeking the opportunity to continue into my third year of service.

I am a veteran of the United States Marine Corps, a licensed General Contractor through the State of California, and a long-time resident of Camarillo since 1962. My military service and professional background have instilled strong leadership, accountability, and practical experience in infrastructure, compliance, and project oversight. Combined with my deep roots in the Camarillo community, I believe these qualities make me a valuable asset to Pleasant Valley Mutual Water Company.

Serving our community and helping ensure the continued success, reliability, and sustainability of our water system is a responsibility I take seriously. My time on the Board has strengthened my commitment to thoughtful decision-making, transparency, and collaboration, always with the best interest of our customers and the company in mind.

I would be grateful for the opportunity to continue working alongside my fellow board members to support Pleasant Valley Mutual Water Company and the community we serve. Thank you for your time, consideration, and continued support.

Sincerely,
Jay M. Dunlap
Board of Directors

GEORGE GOMES DA COSTA, Board Member  

 ​

Dear Water Customer and PVMWC Shareholder,

 

I became a Camarillo resident 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. I bring a strong technical and analytical background to problem-solving. Today, semi-retired, I manage my own investment properties and stay actively engaged in our community.

 

I am volunteering for the Pleasant Valley Mutual Water Company board because water is one of our community’s most critical resource. We deserve reliable, high-quality supply delivered at the lowest possible cost, while protecting our long-held water rights.

 

Like many of you, I’m frustrated that the water-softening project—funded years ago by our special assessment—remains unfinished. I am committed to seeing this project completed promptly and efficiently, ensuring we finally receive the softer water we’ve already paid for.

 

I respectfully ask for your vote.

 

George Gomes da Costa

PAMELLA GEAGAN, Board Member

​​Dear Shareholders,

I’ve lived in the Heights for over 45 years and have always appreciated Pleasant Valley Mutual Water Company’s commitment to its water quality and sustainability. After serving on the Board this past year my respect for PVMWC has only grown as I’ve seen, firsthand, their dedication to meeting higher purification standards and strengthening of our water systems. I’m especially excited by the new desalter plant which will further enhance our community’s water quality. Although I’m now a minister, my earlier work creating educational videos for local water agencies gave me a strong understanding of the importance of protecting our water resources—and inspired my commitment to supporting greater public awareness of PVMWC’s exceptional service to its residents.
