General Information
New Mexico Water Service purchased the Rio Grande Utility Company in July 2002. Since that time, New Mexico Water Service has provided water and sewer service that meets all quality standards. In 2006, water and sewer service was extended to the Tome Vista subdivision. The Rio del Oro water system also supplements the Cypress Gardens water system.
To serve our customers in Rio del Oro and Tome Vista, water is pumped from deep wells drilled into the Santa Fe Formation of the Rio Grande Aquifer. The pumped water is disinfected and stored in two steel reservoirs that provides 1.5 million gallons of storage. We also provide sewer service customers in these areas. In 2006, our wastewater treatment facility was upgraded to a state-of-the-art membrane bio-reactor filtration facility with a capacity to treat 200,000 gallons influent per day. In Rio del Oro and Tome Vista, we serve over 1,000 residential customers and four schools.
