The New Mexico Environment Department’s Drinking Water Bureau is confirming a “boil water advisory” is required for the Pine River MDCA Water System in San Juan County. Pine River MDCA Water System was required to issue the advisory on Oct. 10, 2024, after bacteriological contamination (E. coli) was confirmed in drinking water in the system. New Mexico drinking water regulations require water systems to notify their consumers of this finding as soon as practical, but no later than 24 hours after the system is notified of the confirmation of the violation.
Pine River MDCA Water System is a community public water system serving approximately 44 users. This advisory applies only to drinking water from the Pine River MDCA Water System and does not extend to any surrounding water systems.
The Pine River MDCA Water System users impacted by this advisory are advised to boil water for three minutes before:
• Drinking
• Making coffee, tea and other drinks
• Making ice
• Cooking
• Washing fruits and vegetables
• Using water to feed a baby
• Brushing teeth
• Providing as drinking water for pets
The presence of E. coli in water indicates the water may have been in contact with sewage or animal waste and could contain disease-causing organisms. Most strains of E. coli are harmless and live in the intestines of healthy humans and animals. However, a positive test for E. coli in the drinking water supply may indicate the presence of dangerous strains of E. coli or other disease-causing organisms. These types of organisms may cause severe gastrointestinal illness and, in rare cases, death. Children, the elderly and immuno-compromised individuals are at an increased risk for illness.
The Drinking Water Bureau will provide compliance oversight and offer technical assistance to the water system. The Bureau will require Pine River MDCA Water System to continue to test the water until no further threat of contamination remains.

What, no outrage for this poor victim of federal law enforcement who only acted in self defense?
i would make a polite suggestion; please describe the guys working on the store fronts as facade crews.
the term facade squad makes me think of another group of masked federal agents dispatched to do the trump regimes' dirty work.
If I don't feel like sitting at a table, will the Oppenheimer have a Geiger counter?
Torrez engaged in another frivolous lawsuit.
As I've stated previously, the grants in question were a demonstration program. Of course Dems like Torrez only know one meaning of the word demonstration, but this grant was not intended to provide funding for protests, it was a trial program.
I'm calling on the Secretary of Agriculture to change the official designation of the Lincoln from National Forest, to National Ashtray.
It's designation should be more in line with it's actual use.
does this mean that you don't have a personal relationship with brooke rollins? saying that, has pam bondi ever gotten back in touch with you regarding the source of funding for all those nasty protests against dear leader's royal inclinations? couple weeks back, you told us that news was going to break immedia
After looking at New Mexico election law, a person may run as a candidate for office in the primary of the party they are registered with, without first seeking that party's approval.
this is just another echo of the fight to recognize the health risks of exposure to agent orange in the decades after the vietnam war.
Laymans translation, Mr. Sharp is having some problems proving his clients contracted cancer from PFAS.
Notice he's not crying about coverage for known cancer causing agents, but PRESUMED cancer causing agents. That's because to date, there is no known PROOF of any adverse health effects from PFAS.
there's neighbor john, right on schedule. he has already declared his willingness for other folks to be exposed to well established risks in environmental situations - just as long as he can't see them from where he lives.
So, Miyagishima is going after Republican and Independent voters instead of the Democrat base in a blue state who's election laws are heavily biased towards Democrats. Tells you something about the state of the Democrat Party.
