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“.
You may also want to see the New Mexico Environment Department web page on Liquid Waste Program (Septic Tank Program).
Emergency Contact List
Occasionally we have disruptions in service or other situations where we need to urgently communicate with our members. We are establishing 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.
