Mr. Holcomb told the committee that the city has completed 100% of the originally designed reuse project but still has nine connections to bring online, including school sites and the final city connection at Bob Spencer Park. He said staff will work this summer to switch the Bob Spencer Park irrigation from potable water to reuse. \"In the month of March, we delivered almost 19,000,000 gallons of reuse water. Comparing that to last year, we delivered around 17,000,000 gallons,\" Holcomb said.

Holcomb described existing storage assets — an elevated tank at the Mike Harris baseball/softball complex (about 1 million gallons) and deepened golf-course lakes — and outlined a city proposal to deepen the Hillcrest Park ponds and the front-nine golf course lake to provide additional storage. Because a sewer line runs along the berm that separates Hillcrest's two ponds, Holcomb said relocating that sewer line would be part of the pond-deepening project.

Nicole Holcomb, the city's marketing and events coordinator, described outreach for Water Conservation Month: information tables at city hall and the library, a social media campaign with conservation tips, PSAs on local radio, and student-produced PSAs in partnership with iAcademy. \"A little bit goes a long way if we can get everyone to just save a couple of gallons a day,\" she told the committee.

Committee members asked a few clarifying questions and there were no formal actions tied to the reuse or outreach updates.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Clovis - Water Policy Advisory Committee - Apr 14, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","City staff reported reuse water deliveries rose to almost 19 million gallons in March, with nine remaining connections to bring online; staff also described plans to deepen Hillcrest Park ponds and front-nine golf-course storage to expand on-site storage capacity.","taxTitle","Clovis, Curry County, New Mexico","taxId",52795,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6602153,"EPCOR reports mains upgrades, tank rehab and three new wells planned for Clovis system",311,2411000,2722000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3005682-d9300afe1641f8760f2840d0f9b1c1bf&start=2411&end=2722","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3005682-d9300afe1641f8760f2840d0f9b1c1bf/thumbnail_2411000.jpg","/articles/6602153/Clovis/Curry-County/New-Mexico/EPCOR-reports-mains-upgrades-tank-rehab-and-three-new-wells-planned-for-Clovis-system","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6602153-3580c846b93ef5ff03b8cd24c320c356/orig.mp4?Expires=1771152570&Signature=YO4fJBj3MGi1GjRRBm~o77w~rv2VbHZJngCDUReH3F24yni0mM9oTgJUWKsruFWwaUncKjWzRr027ow4E1GFmqVdKB2jG9Gbj-8rIKt~mlf9mBNQEWOfWU52edGFSFc~7vOk12--b8-XLZhUKfyZkXtURBRSzMj7jCYcviklsPsby784lZVNH8GE7GFaRC~ejpvCD9cPxmxZdf-jL1vB2RmeGgmk7Jt2XVi1jJV1vGE8hLLtKEjLL-CJQzVJMOq~8Fh9QBY~U6uMwRudLDe8wsAHWRtt51j2XpCC2-MtWHhIuhe-W8hp8xt5qAi1blkk1LA~9KPsLDDNW8z9aNRHKA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Mark Quartet, EPCOR operations representative, told the Water Policy Advisory Committee that the utility continually monitors well performance and daily system delivery to calculate the supply-to-capacity percentage used to trigger city water restrictions.

Quartet outlined a range of ongoing projects where EPCOR is coordinating with roadwork to replace older, small-diameter mains, add valves and infill hydrants. He cited the US 60/84 road project and the MLK corridor work as opportunities to upgrade pipe and replace or add fire hydrants. He also said contractors are rehabbing the tank at 14th and Norris (blasted, recoated and safety features added) with completion expected by the end of the month.

Quartet said EPCOR is pursuing acquisition and design for three additional wells that would add approximately 500 gallons per minute of capacity when brought online. He also updated the committee on a Sycamore valve that had been believed inoperable; after work on the gearbox and operating nut the valve appears operational and a full replacement may not be necessary. Quartet invited committee questions and noted EPCOR provides conservation rebates and customer audit kits through its conservation web resources.

The committee thanked Quartet for the update and asked staff for follow-up on well locations and project timing.

Mr. Holwitz briefed the Water Policy Advisory Committee that the ordinance is codified under Title 13 (public services), chapter 13.24, and that the ordinance was originally adopted in February 2003 and updated in February 2011. He said the ordinance establishes Stage 1 as a voluntary conservation period that aligns with Water Conservation Month and runs from April 1 to Oct. 1; Stage 2 would trigger mandatory limits if system demand reaches 85% of capacity for three consecutive days; Stage 3 would follow if demand reaches 95% of capacity for five consecutive days and would require the city commission to act; and Stage 4 would apply at 98% capacity for three consecutive days and would impose the most restrictive measures.

Holwitz noted that Stage 1 primarily asks residents to follow scheduled watering days and that later stages add mandatory restrictions with penalties if the ordinance is not followed. He explained the ordinance also addresses \"fugitive water\" (over-watering onto sidewalks or pavement) and includes a complaint and enforcement pathway through the building safety department to notify property owners to repair or redirect irrigation systems. Holwitz told the committee that, in his career, Clovis has not needed to go beyond voluntary restrictions and credited residents and EPCOR for water-conservation efforts.

The presentation reminded the committee that thresholds and triggering conditions depend on system supply data provided by EPCOR; staff said they work closely with EPCOR operations to monitor daily pump-station and well delivery and to calculate the supply-demand percentage that could trigger restrictions.

Morris said the project will deliver a maximum of 16,415 acre-feet to member communities and described the authority's funding model as roughly 75% federal, 15% state and 10% local. \"The linchpin in our plans is introducing a new and second renewable source of water into the equation,\" Morris said, adding that reuse water, groundwater conservation and surface water from the Ute Reservoir will form a diversified supply portfolio for the region.

The authority is a federally authorized project that received authorization in 2009 and was established by the state legislature in 2010, Morris said. He credited recent funding from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act beginning in 2022 with accelerating construction. Morris said major elements already finished or near completion include the intake structure at Ute Reservoir, finished-water segments connecting Cannon Air Force Base and Clovis, and sections of pipe toward Portales. He reported that raw-water segments and pump stations are in advanced design, and that notice-to-proceed had been issued for the Texico lateral.

Morris described the treatment approach as including a pilot reverse-osmosis membrane filtration plant at the intake to optimize performance: Jacobs Engineering will operate the pilot for at least six months to tune the full-scale plant, he said. He also described the project's allocation breakout with Clovis holding the largest share (about 76%) and including a reservation for Cannon Air Force Base, which Morris said is a direct beneficiary of the system.

Morris told the committee the authority is spending a large federal-state-local construction budget now and expects some FY25 dollars to carry over into FY26; he said the project's FY25 budget was being spent and he had discussed progress with federal delegation and Bureau of Reclamation staff. He urged continued attention to partnerships and landowner collaboration for easements and land restoration during construction.

The presentation included maps and photos of pipeline trenches, junction vaults and restored land; Morris said the authority is emphasizing restoration practices such as straw crimping and reseeding after trenching. He encouraged the public to follow the authority's updates via its Facebook page or the upipelineproject.com redirect.
