We were required to develop and submit to the State an initial service
line inventory that includes all service lines connected to the public water
distribution system and characterize the materials of those service lines as
either lead, galvanized requiring replacement, non-lead, or lead status
unknown. Our system failed to submit an initial inventory of service lines
to the New Mexico Environment Department (NMED) by October 16, 2024.
Although the failure to report the initial inventory to the State does not
create a risk to public health, we are required to inform you of this
violation and provide additional information including what we did to
correct the situation.
What should I do?
There is
nothing you need to do at this time. You do not need to boil your water or
take other actions. Remember, boiling water does not remove lead from water.
For more information on reducing lead exposure around your home/building and
the health effects of lead, visit the EPA's websites at
https://www.epa.gov/ground-water-and-drinking-water/basic-information-about-lead-drinking-water
and http://www.epa.gov/lead.
What is being done?
Cuatro Villas recently submitted its initial service line inventory, which
included unknown compositions for both customer and system-side service
lines. The initial inventory has been reviewed and approved by NMED and is
available upon request, per state and federal requirements. Informing
customers that their service lines are considered of unknown composition is
necessary to resolve this violation for the water system.
Cuatro
Villas will continue to work with NMED to complete additional review of
service lines and comply with state and federal requirements to maintain
compliance. This will involve evaluating service lines of unknown
composition and verification that they are not made of lead or galvanized
material that would potentially need to be replaced due to lead pipes
elsewhere in the system.
