FOR NOW, THE WATER FROM YOUR TAP IN ALBUQUERQUE IS MOSTLY COMING FROM THE RIO GRANDE, THROUGH THE SAN JUAN-CHAMA DIVERSION PROJECT. BUT DAVID MORRIS WITH THE CITY COUNTY WATER UTILITY AUTHORITY SAYS THAT COULD CHANGE LATER THIS SUMMER. HE SAYS THEY EXPECT THEY'LL RAMP DOWN RIVER WATER USE AT THE END OF THIS MONTH AND SHUT IT OFF COMPLETELY DURING THE HOTTEST PART OF THE SUMMER.
MORRIS SAYS THAT MEANS WE'LL BE SWITCHING OVER TO UNDERGROUND WATER SUPPLIES FOR DRINKING PURPOSES. MORRIS IS REMINDING EVERYONE TO USE WATER WISELY, SINCE WE ARE IN A CONTINUING SEVERE DROUGHT.
