Results of second quarter 2026 (April - June) arsenic tests conducted by the New Mexico Environment Department (NMED) Drinking Water Bureau (DWB) show that all four arsenic treatment facilities (ATF) operated by the Camino Real Regional Utility Authority (CRRUA) remain NMED compliant based on the department’s Running Annual Average (RAA.)

“The four ATFs have now been NMED compliant for one-and-a-half years,” said CRRUA Executive Director Juan Crosby.

Tests results from samples the NMED DWB took on April 6, 2026, show that water treated at all four ATFs is below the federal Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) for arsenic of 10 parts per billion (ppb).

“This is the sixth straight NMED quarterly compliance test period in which all four CRRUA ATFs passed based on the RAA,” Crosby said.

“CRRUA continues to remain compliant with arsenic standards under the Safe Drinking Water Act,” Crosby added. 

CRRUA provides all arsenic test results on the home page of its website at crrua.org and on Facebook at facebook.com/crruainfo.
