Mission Hills has no town government of its own, so Santa Barbara County runs its elections and most services, and its children attend Lompoc Unified School District. Tap water in Mission Hills comes from the Mission Hills Csd water system, which has a clean five-year EPA record (about 20% of systems its size had a health-based violation) and a latest lead result below detection.

Water comes from Mission Hills Csd water system
The Mission Hills Csd water system supplies almost all of Mission Hills. It draws ground water (EPA lists Lompoc-City Water Utility Div as seller) and serves 3,600 people in all.
No health-based violations reported to EPA in the five years to October 2026, like 80% of the 5,012 systems serving 3,301–10,000 people.
The latest lead result on file, the 90th percentile of homes sampled in Jan–Dec 2025, was 0.0 ppb, below the 15 ppb action level that applied. Results below detection are reported as 0, so 0 doesn’t mean no lead at any tap.
