The 2023 Irrigation Season

Mayordomo

The AdLP Mayordomo is Mark Herrera, and as mayordomo he is responsible for regulating the flow of irrigation water, distributing water to parciantes, the day to day operations of the acequia, as well as its over all maintenance.

 

Updates

The 2023 Irrigation Season is well underway, facilitated by all of the winter runoff into the Santa Cruz Dam. By the end of June, most of the irrigation water was overflow from the dam, but as the 2023 season progresses additional water restrictions will be put into place as necessary.
