Information About

Lopez Lake




The lake's purpose is to provide Drinking Water for Arroyo Grande, Grover Beach, Pismo Beach, Oceano and Avila Beach. It also provides Groundwater recharge, water for Irrigation and Flood control. Unlike most municipal water supplies, human contact with the water is permitted. Sailing , Water Skiing , Swimming , Fishing and Camping are popular activities. There is also a Waterslide next to the lake. To prevent contamination of the drinking water, water from the lake is piped three miles to a terminal reservoir, where it remains to allow particles to settle out and Pathogen s to die off. The water then goes through Flocculation , Filtration and Chlorination at the Lopez Water Treatment Plant.
