Request for Interest (RFI) Interim
groundwater project
advertised
The Eastern NM Rural Water System is a
regional rural water supply project under
development in east central New Mexico.
The purpose of the project is to provide
potable water to eight city and county
member agencies for municipal, commercial
and industrial use. The project will replace
current groundwater supplies from the
Ogallala formation of the High Plains
Aquifer with a sustainable surface water
source (Ute Reservoir).
Ute Dam was constructed in 1959 creating
Ute Reservoir to store water for these
purposes. The project will put this
underutilized infrastructure investment to
beneficial use.
The members of the Eastern NM Rural
Water Authority include the communities of
Clovis, Grady, Elida, Melrose, Portales and
Texico; and Curry and Roosevelt Counties.
