September 24, 2026: The Los Alamos County Justice Center continues to experience issues from a power outage that began on September 23. The outage is preventing access to in-person court services at this time. Court staff will provide services remotely to the extent possible until Monday, September 28.
The chamber housing two 54” by-pass valves at the Abiquiu hydroelectric plant must be de-watered periodically to perform inspections, perform maintenance and replace equipment. The old bulkhead gates that are used to isolate the chambers are worn and mis-aligned, allowing excessive seepage during de-watering operations. Two new bulkhead gates will be fabricated to replace the old gates.
