Santa Fe County backs Chupidero Mutual Domestic water letter to governor
Summary
The Board approved sending a letter to the governor’s office backing the Chupidero Mutual Domestic Water System, following brief discussion about whether the system serves homes on private wells.
The Santa Fe County Board of County Commissioners voted to approve and sign a letter to the governor’s office in support of the Chupidero Mutual Domestic Water System. Commissioner Green made the motion and Commissioner Johnson seconded; the motion carried by voice vote.
The item was introduced after questions about how the proposed system interacts with privately owned wells. County staff said the Mutual Domestic supplies water to roughly 80 homes in the area and that some private-well customers may already have been tied into the Mutual Domestic system; staff could not confirm a one-to-one match between well users and those served by the mutual domestic system.
The approval was limited to authorizing the letter of support; no formal funding or construction approvals were made at the meeting. Commissioners did not request additional direction to staff beyond sending the signed letter to the governor’s office.
