The Camino Real Regional Utility Authority (CRRUA) reminds customers that water usage during the next three months will set the wastewater rate on next year’s utility bill. 

“CRRUA calculates residential wastewater rates based on average water usage in December, January and February,” said CRRUA Executive Director Juan Crosby. “This is known as the Winter Wastewater Averaging Period.”

Water Service Restored – Housing Authority (November 22, 2025)

The Camino Real Regional Utility Authority (CRRUA) is performing repair work affecting water service at the Housing Authority.

According to tests results from an independent laboratory certified by the New Mexico Environment Department (NMED), arsenic was Not-Detected (ND) in the Camino Real Regional Utility Authority’s (CRRUA) monthly operational control tests for November 2025.

Not-Detected means that while arsenic was present, the concentration in the samples tested was too low to reliably measure based on the analytical procedure used.

The Camino Real Regional Utility Authority (CRRUA) Board of Directors has approved temporary relief measures to support customers experiencing financial hardship caused by the recent federal government shutdown. The policy allows for the temporary suspension of disconnections for those directly affected, waives late fees for those directly affected and allows impacted customers to make payment arrangements. 

UPDATE:

Water service has been fully restored.
Thank you to our dedicated CRRUA team for their quick response in completing repairs.
Residents may notice temporary discoloration as water flows return to normal. This is due to naturally occurring minerals in the system and should clear up shortly. Running cold water for a few minutes can help speed up the process.
We appreciate your patience and understanding during this repair.
