August 1, 2023

LAdP Members,

Billing for first and second quarters of 2023 should be going out at the end of this week.  The new bookkeeper is working to complete the transition over to Quickbooks. 

We appreciate your patience as we make this transition to the new service and hopefully it will go without too many hiccups. Thank you to those who have been sending in your payments regularly and also for including your account numbers on your payments.

LEAD AND COPPER WATER TESTING

July 7, 2023

Good morning,
This month, our System Operator Jacob Maes will be assisting in the collection of five water samples within the village to be tested for Lead and Copper. These tests are performed every 3 years. 


The residences where the samples are collected are the same locations every time and have been designated by the state.  Jacob will be contacting the residents at these locations and providing them with a collection bottle and specific instructions for how the sample is to be obtained. 

 

Thank you for your cooperation in this important testing.


 Also for your information the  2022  Water Quality Report (the latest report) is posted below on the page in the LADP DOWNLOADABLE FILES Section.

IRRIGATION SCHEDULE IS NOW WEEKLY AS OF TUESDAY MAY 30TH!

Dear Irrigators,
Beginning tomorrow, Tuesday May30th, everyone will be able to irrigate once a week on their scheduled watering day.


Thank you,

Noe'


OVERFLOW WATER AVAILABLE!

 Dear Irrigators,

This year we are blessed with abundant water, and Harvey will continue scheduling each irrigator with water every other week.   However, on the day AFTER your scheduled watering day, you can also make use of the “overflow” water that is in the ditch.  


This will require communicating with your fellow irrigators to share water on these days.  For example Monday irrigators  may use the overflow ditch water on Tuesday the following day as well.  


Please note that ONLY those people scheduled to receive water on a given day should be using water on the following day. 


Thanks,

Noe'


DOMESTIC WATER QUALITY UPDATE!

May 10, 2023  

Dear members,
Recently a Las Acequias de Placitas member made an anonymous complaint to the New Mexico Environmental Department regarding insufficient disinfection of our water.  


In response, NMED sent out a compliance officer to perform sampling at various sites around the village.  On April 27th, 2023 the compliance officer collected several water samples and tested for free chlorine, water pressure, and the presence of microbiological contamination. 


All sites sampled had measurable free chlorine residuals, water pressures at each site were 77 p.s.i. or greater, and no microbial contamination was detected.  Las Acequias de Placitas water passed all of the New Mexico Environmental Department requirements and it was determined our water is safe and properly disinfected.  The Bureau of Drinking Water will be following up with the member who made the anonymous complaint.


Our System Operator continually monitors our chlorine levels and doses our water as needed in an attempt to not over chlorinate our delicious mountain spring water. The current pump and flow rates make this challenging, but the System Operator has been vigilant in monitoring for free chlorine throughout the system and at the end of the line on Camino de los Pueblitos and adjusting accordingly. 


 

We can be assured that our water is clean and safe.
