We are quickly approaching
the time that water will stop flowing over the top of the dam and the
Irrigation District will limit the flow of water to 3 days per week. At
that time it is more important than ever to call before you irrigate.
By calling first you ensure that you and all parciantes will get their
share of water. So please be a good parciante and call 1-505-692-9242 before
watering. Thanks.

need of cleaning
It is time for the annual task of cleaning and repair of the acequias for the upcoming irrigation season. My plans are as they have been for the last three years as Mayordomo which is to start the annual cleaning of the Acequias in February in order to be able to start water flowing in March. No specific date has been set as of yet. Weather permiting I would like to start the cleaning as close as possible to the week beginning February 16th, 2020 . As you may know I am always looking for good peones
If you are interested in working with me cleaning the acequias please call at 1-505-692-9242.
Growth around the ditch, especially trees, is causing damage to the acequias. Roots and tree trunks encroach on the ditch boundaries causing serious damage as illustrated in the photos below.

Please clear trees and debris where the ditch
runs through your property. Thanks.
I would like to remind everyone of the requirements for water use:
