Lake Cachuma Pump Station

Lake Cachuma Pump Station

​

Due to severe drought conditions, Cachuma Lake level dropped below the level of the Intake Structure. The Floating Emergency Pump Station provided the ability to access a large pool of water, at lower elevations which the original Intake Structure could not access. The Pump Station had to have the operational ability to provide between 10-45 MGD. The Pump Station was designed to be operated remotely to meet the daily demands of COMB.

 

Design of a Floating Pump Station capable of Operating over a wide range of Head conditions. Designing and building a robust system which could withstand the exposed condition of Lake Cachuma and providing redundancy to provide water to a community of approximately 200,000 people.

 

One of the challenges was building a robust system which would pump water in all conditions and still be able to be removed in a very short time span as Lake Cachuma has a large watershed and can fill rapidly in the right weather conditions.
