Public Documents

Here is some information that may be interest to residents of La Mesa and Sundance Mesa.

Electronic Billing

To save effort and paper, we strongly encourage everybody to get their monthly water bill as an email message. In the upper right of your bill is the email address we have on record for you. Please check to make certain it is correct. Contact:
water-bill@lamesawatercoop.org

There is no extra charge for this service.

Monitor water use with EyeOnWater

To reduce water lost to leaks or unintentional use, such as a hose left running, we have installed smart water meters on all houses. We strongly encourage everybody to take advantage of this capability.

  • See your water use on the EyeOnWater website or smartphone app
    • Sign up with EyeOnWater.com
    • Enter 3-digit account number
    • Provide email address
    • Can delegate to a family member or friend, who does not have to be in Placitas
  • Set EyeOnWater alert to get an email or text message if there is a steady leak
  • Regularly check EyeOnWater to make sure water use is what is intended

There is no extra charge for this service.

Emergency Contact List

Occasionally we have disruptions in service or other situations where we need to urgently communicate with our members. We have an email list to notify members of water emergencies and other issues in their immediate neighborhood. The list will not be used for any other purpose. The list is voluntary, but we urge you to take advantage of this opportunity. If you wish to be on the list, send your e-mail and street address to alerts@lamesawatercoop.org.

We can also send you an alert as a text message to your cell phone. If you would like that, please send your cell phone number and your carrier (Verizon, AT&T, etc.) to alerts@lamesawatercoop.org.

Septic Systems

The US Environmental Protection Agency has some very useful information about septic systems on a web page called SepticSmart. You may want to print the one page flyer, “The Dos and Don’ts of Your Septic System“.
