Taos Considers 40 Year Plan For Water Use Rise
Taos previews a 40 year water plan predicting demand growth from about 1,000 acre feet per year to 1,300 to 1,800 by 2050. The town now serves 1,700 homes and 580 businesses using nine wells. Commercial users currently account for 61 percent of use, residential 35 percent, with 4 percent from town wells. Groundwater described as generally acceptable but septic tanks risk contamination. 1,900 septic systems discharge about 134,000 gallons daily. The plan notes uncertainty in future demand and references the Abeyta Water Rights Settlement to help meet needs. The council delayed adopting the plan at last week’s meeting.

A Tale of Two Dogs at Taos Shelter
A Taos NM narrator recalls adopting two dogs, Rambo and Lucky, from Stray Hearts Animal Shelter. Lucky, a 6 month old Doberman adopted three years ago, provides support during painful carpal tunnel flare ups and helps with mobility. The dogs offer companionship, night presence, and a shared belief in reincarnation leads to both ashes being included in burial plans.
