Beginning of the Lompoc Project and early demand planning
In the early 1940s a Bureau of Reclamation study showed groundwater adequate for current needs but new lands would require more supply. By 1963 a contract between the County Water Agency and the Bureau of Reclamation advanced a feasibility study for a Lompoc area water supply, with initial costs set at about 300000 and the agency's share 90000. The narrative traces population growth, Camp Cooke's influence, and rising water demand leading to plans for the Lompoc Narrows Dam project.
