Smoke from the Frijoles Fire in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and fires as far away as the Pacific Northwest are being blown into the County, lowering air quality. Reduce outdoor activity if sensitive.
A comprehensive condition assessment of both the Abiquiu and El Vado Hydroelectric plants will be performed. A consultant will be hired to perform a condition assessment of the turbine, generator and all support systems to evaluate the condition and future needs of the plants. The condition assessment will identify and recommend necessary upgrades, O&M tasks and equipment replacement. The results of the assessment will be the basis of our capital improvement planning for these facilities over the next decade.
