• Elk Ridge: DUB-L-EE is replacing the natural gas pipelines at Elk Ridge Communities. While this is not a County project, it is an important one and DPU encourages community members to drive cautiously and patiently through the neighborhood while this replacement project is occurring. This project is expected to run from July through October.

• Jemez Mountain Fire Protection Project: DPU contractors are constructing a new water tank on West Road and installing water pipeline next to West Rd and Camp May Road all the way up to Camp May. Camp May Road is closed Monday through Thursday through December, as are trail heads that are accessible from Camp May Road. Camping at Camp May is limited to Friday and Saturday nights on a first-come, first-served basis. Reservations are not available. Campers must extinguish campfires, pack up belongings and leave the area no later than Sunday at noon. The entrance/exit to Camp May will be closed and locked from Sunday afternoon until Friday morning. More information on this project can be found here.
