San Ildefonso Pueblo Receiving Drinking Water Funds


Associated Press
      SAN ILDEFONSO PUEBLO — San Ildefonso Pueblo is receiving $783,000 to improve its drinking water treatment facilities and the distribution system for Pajarito Village and Battleship Mesa.
    Democratic U.S. Sen. Tom Udall said the money also will go to upgrade the drinking water system in the Main Village and Black Mesa.
    The project will include reducing arsenic in drinking water. Arsenic is a naturally occurring groundwater contaminant in several areas of New Mexico.
    Udall said the project will improve public health and safety for the pueblo's approximately 1,400 residents.
    The funds are part of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Drinking Water Infrastructure Grants Tribal Set-Aside program.
