Bear Broke in to One of Our Homes this Afternoon

SLP Homeowner,

This afternoon a young bear pushed in the screen door to our house while I was home. Fortunately I was home and our dogs were inside. The dogs raised the alarm and our big dog dashed to the door and out the door and chased the bear up a tree. When the bear came down from the tree, it wandered off to Los Griegos Rd.

We called Game and Fish and they explained that they would not trap and relocate a bear that breaks into a house. They only would shoot it if I requested it. I declined...for now.

Water Outage

Water will be out this evening (7/27) from the top of Hovenweep Loop to San Juan road. Both Aztec and Chaco will also be out. This was caused by the rain yesterday that washed out some of the installed pipe yesterday evening. We are going to fix this as soon as possible in the morning. I'm going to Albuquerque now to get parts. I am truly sorry.

System 1 Water, Possible Outage Window

Progress continued Monday, with almost all trenching complete.

Today pipe will be bedded into place. When complete the new piping will need to be connected to the old system.

Part of the system on Hovenweep will need to be isolated, thus no water for a few hours late Tuesday or early Wednesday. Areas affected include Aztec, Chaco, and some homes on Hovenweep from Aztec up to San Juan. San Juan should not lose water.

SYSTEM 1 WATER NOTIFICATION & UPDATE

Replacement of the first section of leaking, outdated, main water lines on the south section of Hovenweep is approximately 50% complete. No work will take place tomorrow, Sunday.
Notification of exact outages has been difficult. Thanks to most of you for being patient.
Work will continue next week.
