Long-Range Water Supply Plan Update

• Project value$75,000
• Project schedule2025/2026

The Long-Range Water Supply Plan, which was last updated in January 2018, is typically updated every 10-15 years or when there are significant changes in water demand. The plan is a requirement of the Office of the State Engineer for DPU to be eligible for state-funded grants and to protect unused water rights. Since the last update, we have shut down our highest producing water well due to groundwater contamination. Additionally, Los Alamos National Laboratory recently released its Site Wide Environmental Impact Statement (SWEIS) which projects a significant increase in water use.  An update to the plan is needed now to evaluate the available water supply and water rights based on changed circumstances, renewed projected water demands and environmental conditions.
