THE SAN JUAN BAUTISTA CITY COUNCIL MET THIS WEEK TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE OF CONTAMINATED WATER. OFFICIALS SAY A PLAN HAS BEEN SENT TO THE COUNTY’S HEALTH DEPARTMENT TO BUILD A NEW WELL AND INSTALL A FILTRATION SYSTEM TO RID THE WATER OF NITRATES. THE CONTAMINATION HAS BEEN LINKED TO THE DROUGHT. THE PROJECT, IF APPROVED, WOULD BE FINISHED IN OCTOBER.
