Users are no longer urged to boil water before drinking

DONA ANA COUNTY – The New Mexico Environment Department’s Drinking Water Bureau confirms that the Madrid Mobile Home Parkwater system has met the requirements to lift the boil water advisory that was issued on August 10, 2022.

Madrid Mobile Home Park water system was required to issue the advisory after bacteriological contamination (E.coli) was confirmed in drinking water in the water system. The advisory only applied to users served by the Madrid Mobile Home Park water system and did not extend to any of the other surrounding water systems or communities. 

The Drinking Water Bureau provided compliance oversight to the Madrid Mobile Home Park water system and subsequent samples collected from the water system were negative for bacteriological contamination.

The Madrid Mobile Home Park water system has completed a required assessment of the water system and will be required to maintain a regular monitoring schedule to test the distribution system for the presence of total coliform and E.coli.
