Santa Fe County Rural Water System Policy Town Hall

Santa Fe, NM – February 25, 2013 – The Santa Fe County Public Works Department will host a Town Hall on Thursday, February 28, 2013 to discuss Rural Water System Policy. The Town Hall will be held at the Nancy Rodriguez Community Center, 1 Prairie Dog Loop, Santa Fe, NM 87507 from 1 p.m. – 4 p.m.

On April 24, 2012, the Santa Fe Board of County Commissioners approved Resolution 2012-58, A Resolution Articulating County Policy Regarding Funding Requests From Private, Quasi-Public, or Public Water and Wastewater Systems for Capital Improvements www.santafecountynm.gov/documents/ordinances/2012-58.pdf. This policy was passed in response to numerous requests for capital assistance from small drinking water systems located throughout the County, and the Board of County Commissioners desired a formal policy with which to respond to those requests.

“As we have worked within this policy for the past nine months we have realized that it could be modified to better serve all parties involved. Therefore, Santa Fe County invites all mutual domestic water consumer associations (MDWCA) and other rural water systems in the County to participate in an effort to refine the policy,” said Public Works Director Adam Leigland.

To RSVP for the Town Hall or if you have questions or comments, contact Adam Leigland, Director of Public Works at 505-992-3023 or aleigland@santafecountynm.gov.
