SUCCESS...The suspected System 1 water leak has been isolated!

Our water volunteers, along with the meter can project investment (hardware, software, training, etc.), quickly located the leak area. The water to that property has been shut off and the homeowner notified.

The LevelCon tank monitoring system is reporting 19 inches after being near empty overnight!
Thanks for your patience and responses from many of you about suspect areas.

Troubleshooting so far: both wells are powered on and producing water.

Prescribed Burn Planned on the Santa Fe National Forest
Jemez and Cuba Ranger Districts

Santa Fe, NM – Jan. 13, 2016 – For Immediate Release. Fire managers on the Santa Fe National Forest are planning to conduct three pile burns on the Jemez and Cuba Ranger Districts sometime between Jan. 15 and March 31, 2016. That window is dependent on the amount of snowfall on the ground as well as other favorable conditions, including fuel moisture levels, air quality and weather forecasts. Once ignitions begin, they are expected to last two to three days.

Hello folks,
The following is information from Tom Bennion regarding EQIP, a thinning program within the USDA. The application for the thinning program is attached along with a sample answered application. The deadline is January 15th, so if you are interested, send in the first 5 pages ASAP to get in the first queue of consideration.

Travel is discouraged, according to reports from nmroads, on the upper elevations of the road to Los Alamos. They have declared Severe Driving Conditions N.M. Highway 4 between mile markers 19 and 46. This is the stretch from above Jemez Springs to the Los Alamos County Line.

This classification of road conditions is just one notch below from having the road closed to traffic. The roads are described as snow packed and icy with poor visibility and blizzard-like conditions.

Good evening folks,

Thanks.
