Tucumcari Debates Urgency of Wastewater Plant Issues
Interim supervisor Michael Rivera told city commissioners on September 26 the wastewater plant is under funded understaffed and missing key components. Assistant city manager Charlie Sandoval said problems exist but are not more critical than other city department issues. Commissioner Dora Salinas McTigue urged action citing plant flaws and landfill use by other communities. Lumpkin noted regional landfill plans and nearly 500000 in new section costs. Rivera cited a grit removal device not functioning since 2007 allowing grit in pumps.
