Triunfo Water board member named to sanitation district


Leon Shapiro, a Triunfo Water and Sanitation District board member from Oak Park, was recently appointed to the Ventura Regional Sanitation District board of directors for a one-year term beginning this month.

The Ventura regional board is made up of representatives from eight Ventura County cities and a representative from one of five special districts in the county that receive water and wastewater services from the regional district.

Shapiro will represent the special districts during his one-year term. He has served on the Ttriunfo board since he was appointed in 2018 and subsequently elected in 2020.

He has worked in the water and wastewater treatment industry for over 20 years and is president of 21st Century Water Solutions, a consulting firm that addresses California’s water supply and wastewater treatment issues.

An Oak Park resident since 2010, Shapiro is active with the Sierra Club, where he is a former co-chair of the California committee promoting water conservation and reuse.

VRSD was formed in 1970 to support the daily sanitation needs of more than 600,000 Ventura County residents.
