The Albuquerque Bernalillo County Water Authority and the Carnuel Mutual Domestic Water and Waste Water Consumer Association broke ground on Phase I of the Carnuel Water System Improvements Project, which will bring safe, reliable drinking water and fire protection to an area facing serious water challenges.
The $3.4-million first phase includes 3.3 mi of pipeline that will connect 31 customers in the Carnuel area to the Water Authority�s existing water supply. It is partially funded via ARRA. Salls Brothers Construction of Albuquerque is the contractor with Bohannan Huston Inc. as the designer and engineering consultant for the project, expected to be completed by November.
