​Rural water summit


McKinley County and its working partner, the Northwest New Mexico Council of Governments, hosted the County's first rural water summit in August 2021. This summit was highly attended by local leadership, special districts, working partners and state agencies. 

The summit was organized to provide crucial information for our regional small water systems that have struggled for decades to get the support and funding needed to get local infrastructure projects off the shelves. The summit also provided an opportunity for small water systems to directly connect with state agencies and programs that can provide the necessary data or resources to get projects funded.

A special thanks to the New Mexico Environment Department (NMED) and the Rural Communities Assistance Corporation (RCAC) for supporting the County’s initiative to regionalize its small water systems and to developing a regional water program that benefits all special districts and local governments.
