Independent laboratory results confirm that our water system is in full compliance with all NMED and federal standards. The precautionary advisory initiated on March 13 is now officially removed.
What began as an emergency repair for a centralized area required a broader depressurization of the local network to ensure the stability of the system while crews finalized the necessary work. This expansion was a technical necessity to allow for a permanent infrastructure fix and to maintain the long-term integrity of the service in your neighborhood.
At CRRUA, we are prioritizing safety over convenience. When water pressure drops during a major repair, we issue a precautionary boil notice as a proactive safety step. This is not because a problem was detected, but to maintain the absolute integrity of the system until laboratory tests confirm all standards are met.
We appreciate your cooperation as we follow these safety protocols to maintain the long-term integrity of our community’s water infrastructure.
