EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) — The Camino Real Regional Utility Authority (CRRUA) passed its monthly arsenic tests for September, the utility said.
Test results released by Eurofins Environment Testing — a water lab certified by the New Mexico Environment Department (NMED) — show the Sunland Park Arsenic Treatment Facility (ATF) at 4.1 parts per billion (ppb), Santa Teresa Community ATF at 4.5 ppb, and Santa Teresa Industrial ATF at 3.0 ppb.
All three are below the Environmental Protection Agency’s maximum contaminate level for arsenic which is 10 parts per billion.
Results were from samples taken Sep. 2.
CRRUA excluded Border Entry ATF from its monthly voluntary testing due to its continued meeting of all NMED requirements.
“CRRUA is compliant with arsenic standards under the Safe Drinking Water Act, and our Arsenic Treatment Facilities continue to operate as intended. We are committed to maintaining full transparency by publicly sharing results from both regulatory samples and operational control testing,” CRRUA Executive Director Juan Crosby said.
CRRUA provides water and wastewater service to Sunland Park and Santa Teresa.
