C. Discussion Regarding Source Water Protection
Andrew Sweetman with the
New Mexico Rural Water Association spoke about their program to promote the implementation of protective
measures to reduce the threat of contamination to community drinking water
sources. The NMRWA=s Source Water Protection
Program initiates a collaborative process to identify water and wastewater
issues and to address those issues through action planning to ultimately
protect the water system. This program
is federally funded through the Environmental Protection Agency. When the New Mexico Environment Department
Drinking Water Bureau completed a Source Water Assessment for the Village in
2004, the risk of contamination was rated as moderately high. With
this type of rating, the United States Environmental Protection Agency
strongly recommends implementing control measures that reduce the risk of
potential contamination from sources closest to the Village=s drinking water
supply. Sweetman said that public
education is the most effective and least costly process when implementing a
source water protection program. The
staff of the NMRWA will assist and guide the Village with this program. Bruce Kelly suggested letting the public know
that a committee will be formed to address these issues to see who might want
to be a part of it.

B. Bruce Kelly said that the SE Group has submitted plans for
