Efforts to resolve the water situation continue to make steady progress. Macro Companies, Inc. has been transporting water from Santa Rosa and Santa Fe around the clock to supplement the City’s water supply.
Most areas have experienced generally stable water pressure. Fluctuations occurred in the Camp Luna area due to an electrical board failure in the water pump. Contractors were dispatched immediately and have been working since 4 a.m. today to resolve the issue.Water pressure in Camp Luna is slowly improving and will be monitored overnight; low pressure may continue until the repair is fully completed. Please report any unusual pooling of water that could signal a leak by calling 505-454-1401.
The Airport Road area began to experience increased water pressure after receiving water yesterday evening, while the Montezuma area started receiving water at low pressure this morning, which is anticipated to increase.
The Water Treatment Plant continues to produce water at a rate of 1,300 gallons per minute, totaling around 1.8 million gallons over a 24-hour period. There were intermittent pauses today to perform necessary backwashes to maintain adequate water production.
The Water Distribution Team is actively managing pressure across the city, and while the situation is improving, intermittent low water pressure may still occur in some areas.
City staff has continued to deliver water to individuals with critical needs or transportation limitations, and this service will continue tomorrow. All water distribution sites will remain open daily until further notice.
We sincerely appreciate the community’s continued patience and cooperation as we work toward a full resolution. Our staff is working tirelessly to address these water issues, and we will continue to provide regular updates.
