Daniel Naumann pumped $29,301 worth of groundwater without paying the required fees, according to the district attorney.
A Ventura County farmer and former board member of a local water agency has pleaded guilty to one felony count of grand theft of water. Daniel Conklin Naumann, who owns and operates Naumann Family Farms in Oxnard, pumped groundwater worth $29,301 between 2019 and 2021 without paying the required fees to the Fox Canyon Groundwater Management Agency, according to a news release from the Ventura County district attorney.
” The district attorney’s office announced in August that it had filed charges against Naumann for felony counts of grand theft and theft of utility services. Mark Pachowicz, an attorney representing Naumann, declined to comment. The Naumanns are considered farming pioneers in Ventura County. The family emigrated from Germany and settled in the Oxnard area in the late 1800s, farming sugar beets and lima beans before moving into citrus, then row crops.
