About the Raw Water Transmission Pipeline
Construction on this new 20-inch pipeline will provide “raw” or nonpotable water (not suitable for drinking) to support Intel’s multi-billion-dollar investment in upgrades and expansion at its Rio Rancho facility. Intel is an existing Water Authority customer and the planned upgrade is expected to create new jobs and economic development opportunities for our area. Several segments, or phases are included in this project, which is expected to last through the end of 2022 or early 2023.
