DRINKING WATER NOTICE
Monitoring requirements not met for
New Mexico State University
WSS# 287-07
New Mexico State University violated a drinking water monitoring
requirement. Even though this was not an emergency, as our customers,
you have the right to know what happened and what we are doing to
correct this situation.
We are required to monitor your drinking water for specific
contaminants on a regular basis. Results of regular monitoring are an
indicator of whether or not our drinking water meets health standards.
During the compliance periods of January 01, 2004 through December
31, 2006 we 'did not monitor' for Total Trihalomethanes and
Haloacetic Acids and therefore cannot be sure of the quality of our
drinking water during that time.
What This Means
There is nothing you need to do at this time. The table below lists the
contaminant(s) we did not properly test for, how often we are supposed
to sample for it and how many samples we are supposed to take, how many
samples we took, when samples should have been taken, and the date on
which follow-up samples were (or will be) taken.

Steps We Are Taking
Samples were submitted on March 29, 2007. Samples dating back to 2003
show that the standard set by the Environmental Protection Agency for
Total Trialomethanes and Haloacetic Acids in drinking water had been
met. For more information, please contact David Bollschweiler at
