Village of Jemez Springs

Two ordinances were approved by the Governing Body during the February 2025 Village Council meeting. Click links below to view the signed documents.

Ordinance No. 203

Ordinance No. 204

The initial published dates and locations for the cleaning/inspection of the collection line may change. Thank you for your understanding and patience.

Yesterday afternoon, February 25, 2025, the Village of Jemez Springs experienced a Sanitary Sewer Overflow with an estimated 20 to 40 gallons of wastewater escaping confinement attempts and entering the Jemez River.  The Wastewater Department Operations Manager and professionals from ProPipe were on site minutes following the report of the manhole overflow and were able to clear the line.  They will scope and clear this section of the collection system as part of their overall effort begun on Monday, February 24th to investigate the conditions of the lines and clear them in advance of a rehabilitation plan to be developed by the engineering firm Danial B. Stephens and Associates.  We anticipate that the scoping and clearing phase of this project will take about three months.  

I will keep you posted should any other incident occur.

Pro Pipe is a contracted company that will be performing the cleaning and inspection of the wastewater collection line. The expected dates they will be working are from February 24th to April 25th and expected times are from 7am to 6pm, Mondays through Fridays. They are not expected to work on the weekends.

Pro Pipe will start at the Forest Service office and work their way south. Notification for individual residences and businesses has begun. Please keep access to manholes clear during this process. If you have not received notification yet, it is forthcoming if access to your property/business is required.

Please be patient with this process because dates may change for a number of reasons. This service is much needed and will help identify areas where we need to repair or replace items. Many apologies for any inconvenience this may cause. Thank you for your understanding.

On Tuesday, 2/11/2025, personnel from the companies of Daniel B. Stephens & Associates and Pro Pipe will be walking the collection line. If access to properties is only through gates, please have property owners contact the wastewater plant manager to coordinate access at 575-520-8246.
