The Albuquerque Bernalillo County Water Utility Authority is designing a facility that will make nonpotable reuse water available to irrigate green spaces such as parks.

The Bosque Water Reclamation Facility will be built on a 4.5-acre site south of Monta帽o and east of Mirandela NW that was purchased from the Bosque School, .

鈥淚t will reduce the demands placed on the community鈥檚 Southside Water Reclamation Plant, which currently handles all of the flows from the Water Authority鈥檚 entire service area," Water Authority spokesperson Rachel Stone said in an email.

The project cost is about $300 million. Of that, $24 million has been raised, she said.

鈥淭he Water Authority is pursuing additional funding from the state and federal government,鈥� Stone said. 鈥淭here will be no ratepayer increases to fund this project.鈥�

The design is 60% complete. Construction is expected to begin in late 2027, pending regulatory approval and funding, she said.

The Water Authority does not expect its estimated 57,000 customers to notice any changes to their service before, during or after construction, Stone said.

Water Authority Governing Board Chairwoman Barbara Baca said in a statement the project is critical to, 鈥渙ur long-term strategy for ensuring the community鈥檚 water supply for 100 years and beyond.鈥�

鈥淭he Bosque WRF helps us take a proactive approach in managing our water resources, particularly by reducing drinking water consumption for nonpotable uses such as irrigation,鈥� she said.

The facility will initially reclaim up to 5 million gallons per day using advanced membrane bioreactor technology. The treated water will be returned to the Rio Grande via a nature-based vegetated conveyance that will protect and enhance the bosque habitat, Stone said.

Buildings at the facility will be designed to blend into the surrounding landscape and enclose all treatment processes. Desert-friendly, low-water-use plantings will be installed around the facility and native, riparian vegetation will be used in and around the nature-based conveyance channel in the bosque.

Once the rest of the funding is secured, Stone said, the plan is to expand the facility to treat up to 10 million gallons of water per day from the West Side collection system. Additionally, a reuse system will be installed to bring water to the area that will be used to irrigate large outdoor users like parks and golf courses.
