Fruitland water users install water treatment system to meet EPA regs
The Fruitland Domestic Water Company has 175 shareholders with water being provided to 140 homes on Fruitland Mesa. The private water company has just completed construction of a new water treatment system that meets all EPA standards. The system will be fully operating by this spring. Pipeline construction began in 1979 with the first 40 customers receiving water in 1980. The 20-mile pipeline was established primarily to bring water to livestock on the mesa. A drought in the 1970s made it hard for ranchers to water their cattle. From that beginning, more families have moved to Fruitland Mesa and the water company served their needs. The company began working on the new system in 2005. The new filtration system was needed due to EPA regulations that the state must follow.
