City seeks compromise ordinance to solve softwater problems
Lompoc City Council by a 4 0 vote urged City Administrator Gene Wahlers to craft a compromise ordinance to cut minerals in sewage effluent to state limits. The plan hinges on three major local waste salt dischargers Culligan, Rayne, and Lompoc District Hospital. The move affects Vandenberg Village residents facing high mineral levels and potential costly upgrades or changes to their plumbing and wastewater, with a June deadline and possible RWQCB hearings.
