Results of first quarter 2026 (January - March) arsenic tests conducted by the New Mexico Environment Department (NMED) Drinking Water Bureau (DWB) show that all four arsenic treatment facilities (ATF) operated by the Camino Real Regional Utility Authority (CRRUA) remain NMED compliant based on the department’s Running Annual Average (RAA.)

Tests results from samples the NMED DWB took on Jan. 21, 2026, show that water treated at all four ATFs are below the federal Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) of 10 parts per billion (ppb).
