At the June 23rd meeting of the Los Lunas Village Council, Niagara’s request for approval to take 700 acre-feet/year of water from the aquifer under Valencia County was item #1 on the agenda.

Seventy five (75!) people showed up to give public comment on this item. The Mayor was not going to allow anyone to speak – but then a well-respected local attorney in the audience told the Mayor and Councilors that they really needed to let the assembled people speak.

The Mayor relented and allowed us to make our comments – ALL in opposition to Niagara’s taking of our water.

We are asking local people to show up at the Village Council meeting
on July 28th at 6pm (660 Main Street, Los Lunas)

✅     Be prepared to speak – and also to bring your comments opposing Niagara’s request in written form (to be hand-delivered to the City Clerk) in case the Mayor does not allow public comment.

✅    If the Niagara request is tabled again, people can still hand-deliver their written comments opposing the request.

📊     Please take (and share) the community survey we created. We will email and deliver the results of this survey to the Mayor and Village Council before the July 28th meeting.
