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.

Welcome to the Acequia de La Puebla
Today irrigation is a matter of cultural survival, historical
preservation, and a tradition to pass on to future generations.
Welcome/Bienvenidos to our website. For centuries the people of La Puebla
have cared for, maintained and used the acequias that carry water
through our community. In the early days of La Puebla, irrigation
was a matter of basic surviival. Today irrigation is a matter of
cultural survival, historical preservation, and a tradition to pass on
to future generations.
This website is an effort to foster better communication about the
Acequia de La Puebla among all parciantes. Our goal is to provide
everyone using the water with information to help the system work
smoothly. The Commissioners and mayordomo hope to keep everyone informed
about events, watering schedules, emergencies, meetings and other
information to help keep the water flowing. Please check back often for
updates and new information about the Acequia de La Puebla.

week. Please see the Water Schedule above for water
availabilty.
So, as always, we are asking everyone to be a good acequia citizen by
