City of Las Vegas Reassures Community Water is Safe to Drink

Las Vegas, NM – Yesterday, the New Mexico Environment Department (NMED) issued a press release that includes a link to an interactive map, indicating that NMED will be intensifying its oversight of drinking water systems across the State of New Mexico. This announcement has raised considerable alarm within our community, particularly as we continue to grapple with water issues stemming from the Hermit’s Peak/Calf Canyon Fire.

We want to address the recent report highlighting violations within the City of Las Vegas. The interactive map displays a total of 34 violations across various sectors, which includes:

• Water System Violations: They reported 27 unresolved water violations, which includes 8 relating to groundwater and community water systems that are outside the City's direct control. The numbers reported on the map are a misrepresentation and not reflecting real-time data. The City of Las Vegas currently has 8 active water deficiencies and 11 have been resolved. NMED has yet to reflect these updates.

• Food Safety and OSHA Violations: An additional 15 deficiencies pertain to food safety and OSHA violations in local businesses. We are actively collaborating with those local businesses to address these concerns.

The reports generated by NMED are based on quarterly sampling conducted by the State. This mandatory oversight sampling is compared with the routine testing conducted by the City. There is a time delay for publication of the NMED reports; however, there are no delays affecting the review or management of potential risk related to the data. We are engaging with NMED to advocate for better timed public reporting. Our goal is to enhance transparency and better serve the community by ensuring that information is made available in a more efficient and accessible manner.

In light of the concerns, we want to reassure all residents that the tap water provided by the City of Las Vegas is safe to drink and approved by the NM Drinking Water Bureau. The City is taking extensive measures to ensure the safety and quality of our drinking water, especially given the ongoing challenges related to post-fire water quality.

Our water is monitored daily by the City, in collaboration with the New Mexico Drinking Water Bureau and the New Mexico Environment Department. This ensures that any potential issues are identified and addressed promptly. We perform daily checks to monitor both water quality and water levels, guaranteeing that our system is operating properly. Our drinking water system filters are backwashed regularly to flush out any accumulated particles or debris, maintaining the effectiveness of our filtration system. Fire hydrants are flushed regularly to maintain water quality and clean the pipes that deliver water to homes and businesses.

The ongoing violations the City is addressing pertain to Total Trihalomethanes (TTHMs) and Total Organic Carbon (TOCs), both of which are expected and commonly detected post-wildfire.

• TTHMs are a type of disinfection byproduct with a Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) allowed in drinking water of 0.080 mg/L. The average of this byproduct in the City water test at 0.067 mg/L, which is below the MCL acceptable threshold. Regular backwashing and flushing has been key to keeping the TTHMs under control.

• TOCs is a measurement of Total Organic Compounds and is commonly found in surface water after a wildfire. The goal is to keep this compound below 2.0%. The City is averaging 2.9%. NMED and the NM Water Drinking Bureau are aware of this heightened compound level; however, they have continued approving this level as acceptable for consumption. There are different water treatment methods and equipment the City is actively looking to implement in the near future to assist with reducing this level.

Treating elevated levels of Total Trihalomethanes (TTHMs) and Total Organic Carbon (TOCs) after a wildfire is a significant challenge for municipalities. The City wants to reassure the community that our water is safe to drink and that we understand concerns you may have because we share them as well.

If you have further questions, please contact the NM Drinking Water Bureau at 505-827-7536 or the NM Environment Department at 505-827-0187. We will continue to remain transparent and honest with the Community as we continue to navigate the ongoing issues with our watershed. Our priority is the health and safety of our residents.

***NOTE: City water has not tested positive for arsenic, uranium or fluoride like other water systems in the state have.

Water Update for the City of Las Vegas

Residents and businesses are maintaining active water conservation efforts, with daily consumption consistently below the average of around 1 million gallons per day. This ongoing effort is crucial for sustainable water management, ensuring that resources are preserved and available for future needs. By maintaining this level of conservation, the community is playing a significant role in managing water usage effectively.

The City has increased water reserves slightly to 5.7 million gallons and the water treatment plant continues to treat approximately 1.1 million gallons of water daily. By bolstering water reserves, the City enhances its ability to meet the community's water needs even during periods of increased demand or unexpected disruptions. Simultaneously, the ongoing treatment of water ensures that the supply remains safe and of high quality for residents and businesses.

During a recent lull in storm activity, contractors have continued to utilize the time to advance the installation of the pre-water treatment plant. This phase involves streamlining the setup and conducting operational tests to guarantee the plant operates effectively.

In the next few days, the pre-water treatment plant will undergo water sampling and approval processes from relevant state agencies. These steps are critical to ensure that the treatment plant meets regulatory standards for water quality and safety.

As a reminder, while most businesses in Las Vegas have resumed operations at full capacity without restrictions, there are specific measures that remain in place for certain sectors:
•Laundromats: These facilities are limited to operation on specific days—Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays only.
•Car Washes: All car washes will continue to remain closed until further notice.
•Restaurants: To minimize dishwashing and conserve water, restaurants are using disposable paper products such as paper plates, cups, and plastic ware.

These measures are part of the city's strategy to manage resources effectively and ensure public health and safety during this period. It's important for residents and businesses to adhere to these guidelines until further updates are provided. We want to thank all residents for continuing to work together and remaining as patient as work through this crisis.

Water Update for the City of Las Vegas

Las Vegas, NM – We have reached a critical phase with both water conservation efforts and final preparations for the City’s pre-water treatment plant. We are nearing the final steps for the operation of the pre-water treatment plant, which has contributed to a decrease in water reserves. This is to be expected during the setup phase as resources are allocated towards testing and calibration. The pre-water treatment plant is currently undergoing the final stages of assembly before it can begin operations. This typically involves ensuring all components are properly installed, tested, and calibrated to make certain the plant functions efficiently and effectively once it starts treating water.

Our weather forecast has additionally settled in a steady and wet monsoon pattern which does have the potential to hinder the production of water being treated daily along with the continuation of the pre-water treatment plant installation. We must continue to remain in a water conservation state.

The community has made large strides with the average daily usage of water, decreasing to approximately 1 million gallons per day. This could not have been done without the cooperation of residents and businesses. We cannot thank everyone enough for their sacrifices. We are in the home stretch now and getting closer to a more stable water supply and water reserves.

Please continue to follow the City of Las Vegas website at www.lasvegasnm.gov and the Las Vegas City Government page for updates.
