Project Grant
Overview
Grant Description
The City of Gallup, in northwest New Mexico, will complete well designs, hydrology, engineering, and construction and implementation of a new City of Gallup potable water well for water supply to offset the 5 to 7 year delay completing the Navajo Gallup Water Supply Project.
The City of Gallup's groundwater levels have dropped approximately 725 feet over the past 40 years, and the supply is not expected to meet current water demands within the immediate term and over the coming 5 to 7 years.
This project is listed as an implementation policy in the City of Gallup 2013 Water Conservation Plan and Drought Contingency Plan.
More than 40 percent of Navajo households rely on water hauling to meet daily water needs.
The new well will provide domestic water supplies to Navajo Nation, McKinley County, and the City of Gallup communities and households that do not have reliable access to domestic water supplies.
