PHASE I COMPLETE

The City of Alamogordo is proud to announce the completion of Phase I of the Westside Infrastructure Improvements Project.  Phase I is an integral component to the overall long-term City’s 40 Year Water Master Plan initiative of constructing a 6.0 MGD (Million Gallons per Day) desalination water treatment plant.

 

Phase I, which consisted of having placed a 24 inch water pipeline that stretches from the Westside Booster Station to the Luz Gate Road, will connect to an initial 1.8 MGD Mobile Desalination Facility and the Snake Tank Well Field. The mobile desalination facility will treat brackish water through a concentrated, pressure induced filtration and reverse osmosis membrane brine system, producing fresh potable water.

 

Phase II of the Westside Infrastructure Project, will complete the pipeline from the Westside Booster Station to the initial 1.8 MGD Mobile Desalination Facility.  Phase III will complete the pipelines in the Snake Tank Well Field.

 

Phase I of the Westside Infrastructure Improvements Project has been possible thanks to the New Mexico Finance Authority Drinking Water Revolving (EPA) Loan Fund.  The City of Alamogordo initially requested a 23 year loan in the amount of $6,565,000 at a 2% interest.  However, the City is proud to announce that it only spent $4.7+ million, leaving a savings of $1.8+ million for this loan project.
