Water Treatment Process

Ensuring High-Quality Drinking Water for the City of Lompoc

The City of Lompoc utilizes a conventional water treatment process to provide safe and reliable drinking water to our community. This process includes disinfection, coagulation, flocculation, sedimentation, and diatomaceous earth (DE) filtration. Originally constructed in 1964, the treatment plant was designed with a filtration capacity of approximately 6 million gallons per day (MGD). Throughout the years with upgrades and additional filtration systems, the plant’s capacity has been expanded to approximately 10 MGD.

In addition, the City of Lompoc operates the Frick Springs Treatment Plant, which uses a compact DE filtration and disinfection system. The water treated at this facility is sourced from seven natural springs located in the upper hills. The Frick Springs Treatment Plant adheres to the Surface Water Treatment Rule (SWTR), ensuring compliance with all regulatory standards.

City Of Lompoc's 2020 Urban Water Management Plan

The City of Lompoc's 2020 Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) is a comprehensive five-year plan required by the California Department of Water Resources for urban water suppliers that provide at least 3,000 acre-feet of water annually or serve a minimum of 3,000 customers.

The UWMP serves as a critical tool for evaluating and planning long-term water resource management. Its primary purpose is to ensure that the City has adequate and reliable water supplies to meet both current and future demands. The plan outlines strategies for:

Promoting efficient use of urban water supplies.
Supporting conservation programs and policies.
Ensuring sufficient water availability for future growth and development.
Preparing for and responding effectively to drought conditions.

This forward-looking framework enables the City of Lompoc to sustain its commitment to providing reliable and sustainable water resources for the community.

City Of Lompoc's Groundwater Management Plan

In November 2013, the City of Lompoc developed a State-mandated Groundwater Management Plan (Groundwater Plan) to ensure the sustainable use of groundwater, which serves as a critical resource for meeting the water demands of the community.

The Groundwater Plan focuses on the following key objectives:

Establishing Best Management Practices (BMPs): Developing measurable BMPs tailored to the City’s service area to promote effective groundwater management.
Baseline Conditions Assessment: Establishing baseline conditions for the Lompoc Plain Sub-Basin, where the City is located.
Data Collection and Monitoring: Creating a mechanism for the ongoing collection of groundwater and aquifer data. An aquifer is an underground layer of water-bearing rock that can supply groundwater through wells.
Baseline Condition Reviews: Developing a framework for evaluating potential changes to baseline conditions over time.
Plan Updates: Implementing a process for updating the Groundwater Plan as conditions evolve and new data becomes available.

This proactive approach ensures the City of Lompoc can effectively manage and protect its groundwater resources for current and future needs.
