Announcements for Domestic Water

October 3, 2025  Minutes from September 25 Board Meeting

SCMDWCA Minutes – September 25, 2025

September 16th, 2025

As many of you know, our Mutual Domestic Water system is over 50 years old.  Since 2017, the Board of our system has been working diligently to not only upgrade our aging system but to acquire funds to support those upgrades.

With a NM Finance Authority Loan (148K), NM Capital Outlay funds (60K) and grants from the LOR foundation (60K), we have been able to build a chlorination treatment facility; install new lines and valves to the storage tank and distribution line; renovate the infiltration gallery; replace the air vacuum valve; replace all five pressure relief valves and replace a number of aging meters.

Our next project is to refurbish our 50-year-old water storage tank which is beginning to rust.  We are in the process of finalizing the paper work on a 2024 Capital Outlay grant for 138K.  Our hope is that these monies will allow us to refinish the tank both inside and out as well as add a circulation valve to keep water from freezing during winter months.

The Board has been fortunate to have acquired funds to continue to upgrade our system and look forward to a safe and secure water source for our domestic customers for years to come.
