Sandoval County District 1 Commissioner James Dominguez has been meeting with County Manager Phil Rios and other County officials to try to resolve the issue of the well that services the Library and the Placitas Fire Station.
Commissioner Dominguez reports that the engineers, retained by the County, have determined that there is available water in the current area of the well. The County is going to pull up the well pump and screen, clean them, and then lower them back down to a deeper location, where the water is present. The County expects that this will provide a number of years of water, while they look at a more permanent solution.
The County should begin work on this project on Monday, January 12, and should complete the work within the next two weeks.
In addition, Commissioner Dominguez is also discussing the issue of the heating/cooling system with the appropriate County personnel and is working to find a solution.
In the interests of keeping communications coordinated, we ask that if anyone has any questions or comments about these issues, that they forward them through Karen Cox and/or Marian Frear who can then communicate directly with Commissioner Dominguez.
