Lompoc Narrows Dam Favored by Vandenberg for Water
Vandenberg Air Force Base officials urged early Lompoc Narrows Dam project implementation to meet their supplemental water needs. Col. Hugh D. Young stated the base plans to rely on the Lompoc Project for about 7,500 acre feet yearly, with no extra State Project water. The City of Lompoc warned its water supply is deteriorating, seeking up to 8,000 acre feet annually from the dam and State water as needed.
