Welcome to Quemado Lake Water Association! Learn more about us and check out all the resources we offer.
Our community is nestled next to Escondido Mountain on the Southwest corner of New Mexico. Surrounded by the Gila, Cibola, and the Apache National Forests, Quemado is the home to more Elk than people.
It boasts 300 days of sunshine a year, and is host to an abundance of wildflowers and wildlife.
The photos of the repair never reflect the volume of work required by all those helping to create such a quick and efficient turn-around. Thank you ALL!
We continue to be incredibly grateful for the "drive-by" meter system. It continues to assist in identifying customer leaks, or what we call "potential leaks". It has a warning code that tells us when water has been running for over an hour, non-stop, and calls it a "BURST". It doesn't mean a water line has burst; it means someone has run water for an extended period of time. The system is able to let us know when and for how long, if we check directly at the unit. We have also been able to determine that we consistently have a significant water loss every winter/early Spring. This water loss is not associated with system leaks or customer leaks. The board is considering placing locks on all boxes to prevent unauthorized water use within the system.
QLWA had an amazing team for installation! Additionally, we had our Circuit Rider from NMRWA, Fred Black, AND, our own Steve Stoops, on site to help!
