Greigos Rd WL Replacement Presentation_Oct 2026_FINAL (002).pdf
Project Benefits & Temporary Impacts: The new PVC waterlines are expected to last for 100 years or more! The 60-70-year-old waterlines that are currently in the ground are corroded, leaking, and at the end of useful life. This is why the Water Authority is replacing the water main, gooseneck, and curb stop in your neighborhood (utility’s responsibility). If your service line from the meter box to your home (homeowner’s responsibility) has never been replaced, then it may be the same age as the main waterline, and you may want to consider replacing your service line because it’s probably past its useful life as well (can be done at your convenience and does not need to occur during this project).
Following the completion of our waterline replacement work, you will likely experience improved water pressure in your home and less turbidity (cloudiness) in your water. Also, these new water lines will minimize future emergency repairs in your area.
While our crews install the new water lines, manipulate valves, and make new connections, there is a potential for mineral scale and sediment in the old water lines to get stirred up. As a result, you may notice a slight increase in the turbidity of the water that comes from your faucets and showerheads. Below are some ways you can resolve these issues:
Run your faucets or shower fixtures for a few minutes to flush out any sediment in the water. After a few minutes of flushing, you should see clearer water. You may need to clean the screens that are within the faucets and/or showerheads to remove any sediment that collects there.
Open faucets and plumbing fixtures slowly, and when you are done, close them slowly as well. This will minimize turbulence in your plumbing system and help keep the water clearer.
If your water is still excessively cloudy, try running an outside water hose to help flush out the water service line to your home.
Clean the screens and filters on your home irrigation sprinkler system, including the individual sprinkler heads and, if applicable, the main filter unit in your sprinkler box. There are multiple videos on YouTube to assist with these activities.
AUGUST 10, 2026— Crews are scheduled to begin a project to replace waterlines in your neighborhood at the beginning of September 2026. The map below shows where the new waterlines will be installed: Griegos Road between Rio Grande Boulevard and 12th Street NW, 14th Street NW, Teodocio Road NW, Pedroncelli Court NW, and San Martin Place NW. The waterline along Griegos Road NW is located on the north side of the street. Residents in the area should expect lane and road closures during this work. An update will be sent once the project start date is confirmed.
If you would like to receive periodic project updates via email, contact Rachel Stone at rstone@abcwua.org.
How will this improvement project impact you?
Access will be maintained to all residences on closed roads. Residents can drive through the construction zone. Always drive through the work zone slowly and use caution. Please speak with the construction crews for any concerns you have regarding access to your home.
There will be NO STREET PARKING IN THE CLOSED SECTIONS of roadway.
For trash pick-up days, place your trash bin in its usual spot. The City of Albuquerque will be notified of this construction and the crews will accommodate the solid waste truck on trash days.
Contractors will do everything possible to ensure that the water service is maintained for the duration of the project. However, emergencies or planned shut offs may occur during construction.
Emergency (un-planned) shut offs: no advance notice.
Planned shut offs: advance notice detailing the service interruption date and times.
