PVACD vows to protect local waters after Carlsbad request
Lisa Dunlap
The Pecos Valley Artesian Conservancy District is reacting to a request by the Carlsbad Irrigation District to have Pecos River water usage decided by state officials on the basis of priority rights by stating that the “water of the Roswell Artesian Basin is once again under siege.”
But the local district also stated it is “confident that it will continue to be successful in protecting the water users of the Roswell Artesian Basin, whether they be municipal, industrial or agricultural.”
The statement released Monday and posted on the PVACD website is very similar to the one issued in 2013 regarding an earlier “priority call” resolution by the Carlsbad Irrigation District (CID).
