Big Mesa is in the process of completing three water system upgrade projects: (1) a direct pipeline from the filtration system facility to the storage tank, 2) a new filter plant and 3) meter replacement with automatic meter reading . These projects will be accomplished with minimal interruptions to member’s water service. 

​

The meter replacement project was completed in the Spring 2021. The direct line was completed 2nd quarter 2022.The filter plant design has been completed.

 

The cost estimate for the water filter plant is much higher than when it was originally estimated in January 2020 due to higher labor, material, expanded building/control requirements, and etc..   Big Mesa is seeking approval from New Mexico Finance Authority (NMFA) for the additional funding.
