Congresswoman Maxine Waters Secures Critical Funding for Lomita’s Water System

Congresswoman Maxine Water March 25, presented the City of Lomita with $940,000 to invest in the future of Lomita’s water supply.

Lomita is making significant investments in upgrading the Cypress Water Production Facility and Well Number Five, which pulls groundwater to supply the city water. The four new recently installed tanks are the heart of the granular activated carbon filtration system project designed to further improve water quality for residents. The project represents more than a $5 million investment. 

Even with these improvements, Well Number Five is Lomita’s only groundwater well, and when it is offline as it is currently during construction, the city must rely on imported water from other parts of the state to meet its residents’ needs.

Through this partnership, Congresswoman Maxine Waters has secured critical funding that will help Lomita explore the potential for a secondary well that will serve residents’ needs locally. Residents will not have to rely on costly imported water and to invest into critical infrastructure and pipe replacements, ensuring that local water continues to be delivered to residents’ homes safely and securely for years to come.
