PRC scrutinizes Mountainair pipeline safety waiver « New Mexico Independent
PRC scrutinizes Mountainair pipeline safety waiver « New Mexico Independent
". . . Mountainair is a potential problem. I suggested we look into the fittings and whether they’re robust. We also heard that the Pipeline Safety Bureau has identified and addressed leaks in the (Mountainair) system that were not connected to these polyethylene fittings.”
I believe that some of the gas pipelines were upgraded in Mountainair when John Romero was Mayor, however, like town water and sewer lines, portions of the Town's infrastructure is outdated, undersized, and needs replaced. Given income levels in the community, Mountainair would be hard pressed to find funding to upgrade the town's infrastructure without financial assistance.
Perhaps Mountainair should consider a local sales tax and/or special assessment of property holders in Mountainair in order to at least come up with matching monies for grants as well as to minimize loans for infrastructure improvement. Mountainair will be hard pressed to entice new business and industry to town unless it can improve the infrastructure. Without these vital improvements, Mountainair will simply not grow.

Estancia, New Mexico |
By Bill Dolson It’s hard to imagine that sleepy little Estancia, New Mexico, population 1700, was once a rival to the City of Albuquerque. At the turn of the 19th century, the Mayor of Estancia made a bet with the Mayor of Albuquerque that Estancia would grow to be the greater city. |
