New Mexico Water Service Co., a subsidiary of San Jose-based California Water Service Group, on 20 July hosted a dedication ceremony to commemorate completion of the first wastewater retrofit project of its kind at the company’s Rio Del Oro Wastewater Treatment Facility in the Rio Del Oro area between Belen and Los Lunas. The project is significant not only because it is the first of its kind; it also benefits neighbours, customers, and the environment because it increases the plant’s treatment capacity and creates a higher quality output without increasing the plant’s footprint. New Mexico Water Service Co. partnered with Advanced Process Technologies, Enviroquip Inc., and Kubota to complete the groundbreaking project.
