Albuquerque, NM (KKOB) — The city of Belen has a history of monsoonal flooding. This year Belen Mayor Robert Noblin and City Manager Roseann Peralta say that this year they’re working with the Middle Rio Grande Conservancy District to help alleviate problems during this monsoon season. Peralta said the city has also been thinking ahead by filling about 2,000 sandbags for residents and business owners. The city has large storage containers around town for people to pick up. Locations include: at the city’s yard on North Main Street, the Vivian Little League Fields, Fire Station No. 2 on Reinken Avenue, and Wisconsin, and at the Belen Regional Airport off Camino del Llano.
