ELDORADO AREA WATER & SANITATION DISTRICT
2 North Chamisa Drive, Santa Fe, New Mexico 87508-9483
IMPORTANT MESSAGE TO OUR CUSTOMERS
Stage 1 Water Restrictions Effective May 20, 2022: As was the case this time last year, the daily forecast over the last two months has been dry and windy with the prospect of significant precipitation seemingly nowhere in sight following several consecutive years of poor snow pack and rain. With no chance of being able to operate our Galisteo Well #9 this summer, the District has concluded that the only prudent course of action is to implement EAWSD Stage 1 Water Restrictions effective Friday, May 20, 2022.
Details concerning water restrictions can be found at the following link for WRAMP. Information has been posted at ECIA and at the Agora. Additionally, you'll find detailed information in May's issue of Water Notes. Thank you for your cooperation!
EAWSD provides clean, safe, and reliable water services to almost 3,000 customers in the unincorporated area around Eldorado in Santa Fe County, New Mexico.

Pilot Rain Barrel Rebate Program
Starting March 1, 2022, EAWSD introduces a pilot rain barrel rebate program for the purchase of NEW rain barrels. Since this is the first time a program of this type has been introduced in our community, we expect to encounter some unknown challenges in the first phase, but our staff is prepared to make this conservation effort a success for all, so please be patient. The link below will take you to the application and program requirements. The application can also be picked up at the Customer Service & Billing office at 2 North Chamisa Drive. The District is excited to partner with the community and looks forward to your participation!

Verano Conchas Loop Pipeline Replacement
Starting June-July 2022 through March 2023
This project is currently out to bid with a project award scheduled for May 19, 2022. The scope of the project includes the installation of over 6,000 feet of new
6-inch waterline and 200 new water service laterals, as both reach the end of their expected useful service life. While not a complicated project, it will involve some project coordination and cooperation from homeowners residing in this area. In a few weeks, area residents will be invited to a public meeting where the District and its contractor will share details regarding project schedules.

Common Questions
What is our water hardness?
Generally, the water hardness in Eldorado is about 300-350 parts per million or milligrams per liter. This is also equivalent to about 17-20 grains per gallon. If you wish to soften your tap water with a commercially available water softener, the installer will want to know this water hardness level in order to properly adjust the softener.
