Camino Real Regional Utility Authority (CRRUA) connected with south county community members at a community meeting held Thursday night in Sunland Park.<\/p>\n
The meeting allowed the members of the community to visit different tables, each covering a different topic such as Utility\/ Billing, Water Quality, and Water Conservation.<\/p>\n
Juan Crosby, executive director of CRRUA, said updates on arsenic levels in the water come every month.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor the past year we have been meeting our running annual average,” he said. <\/p>\n
Residents note issues such as discolored water, arsenic levels, and the hardness of the water. Sunland Park Mayor Javier Perea says these concern are going to take a lot of time and investment to fix.<\/p>\n
\u201cSometimes those three issues get confused but it’s important to understand each issue for its own merits and address those issues separately,\u201d Perea said.<\/p>\n
In 2023, high levels of arsenic were detected in the water, affecting about 1000 households, according to reporting from Source New Mexico.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe City of Sunland Park, along with CRRUA have been working adamantly to fix the issues from the past,” Perea said.<\/p>\n
