Santa Fe Secures $2.3 Million for Wastewater Treatment Plant Upgrades with Rep. Leger Fernández's Support
WATER INFRASTRUCTURE & DESALINATION
Santa Fe's Paseo Real Wastewater Treatment Plant has been allocated over $2.3 million for upgrades by U.S. Rep. Teresa Leger Fernández.
This funding will enhance tracking of treated water released into the Santa Fe River and used for irrigation. The plant, which has experienced compliance issues, has seen improvements after significant repairs.
Future upgrades or a replacement are being considered. The funding will support the installation of meters for effluent delivery. Additionally, the City Council is pursuing further loans and grants for various water infrastructure projects.
