The c9mments were <br />made by various participants of the meeting and do not necessarily reflect the consensus of the <br />entire group, unless otherwise noted. <br /> <br />. There are no complaints of groundwater problems north of 6th Street. <br /> <br />. The artesian wells may be contributing to the flooding problems. <br /> <br />. The Vega should not be drained. <br /> <br />. The Rito Seco channel needs to be cleaned up and maintained. <br /> <br />. The town sentiment is generally favorable regarding the proposed sub drain system bounded <br />by 6th Street, Main Street, 4th Street, and Vega Street. I <br /> <br />. The proposed subdrain system must be separate from the previous system due io engineering <br />constraints. <br /> <br />. Below 4th Street, mitigation may be accomplished by ditch maintenance and capping of <br />artesian wells. <br /> <br />. The NRCS is investigating a closed pipeline from the existing subdrain outlet to the Rito <br />Seco to the east. <br /> <br />. The artesian wells might be connected to the subdrain system instead of being capped. <br />I <br />. The Montez Ditch is too deep and dangerous at the lower end. The ditch shouild be partially <br />filled or replaced with pipe. <br /> <br />. The town would like a pipe from the existing drain outlet to the ditch that fUllS along Vega <br />Street. <br /> <br />. The county was supposed to have figured out a way to get water from the existing drain outlet <br />to the Rito Seco or the open ditch. The county never followed through with Itheir assigned <br />duties. <br /> <br />. The town is interested in draining the extreme southern portion of the town (south of 4th <br />Street) if possible. <br /> <br />. Maintenance of the open ditch along Vega Street is a big issue with the town. <br /> <br />. The town is convinced that the previous subdrain project has caused increased groundwater <br />flooding problems in the southern portion of the town. Several citizens cleJly stated their <br />I <br />feelings about this issue, and described damage to their homes as a result on the increased <br />groundwater levels. <br /> <br />2 <br />
