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.
