The Drinking Water Bureau is committed to helping water systems succeed. The capacity assistance group can help public water systems increase their technical, financial, and managerial capacity.

Here are some of the things we can help with:

  • Understanding the regulatory requirements and various state agencies that a water system would need to work with
  • Board roles and responsibilities and the timelines for reporting
  • Governing documents
  • Ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations
  • Technical assistance for operators

For assistance contact Krista Schultz at 505-819-9634.

Capacity assessments

We can assess your water system’s capacity and provide feedback on your capacity strengths and weaknesses.

Training

We provide regular group training sessions across the state for water system governing bodies and operators. Upcoming training opportunities are available in the NMED Events Calendar.

Guidance and tools for water systems

We provide recommended guidance documents, tools, and resources for water systems on our Tools and Resources page.
