July 1, 2009--Espanola, N.M. wants to drill wells for drinking water (U.S. Water News)

Espanola wants to drill up to seven deep wells and appropriate billions of gallons of brine-filled water that would be treated to meet drinking water standards. Espanola Mayor Joe Maestas said the notice to the state engineer secures the city's right to drill wells in the next 40 years, treat the water and add it to the municipal water system. He said the deep wells would ensure a future water source for the northern New Mexico community, which also is considering a Rio Grande diversion project.
