| On June 2nd, 2009, assessment payers of the Middle Rio Grande Conservancy District in Bernalillo, Sandoval and Socorro counties will be voting in the elections for the MRGCD Board of Directors.
The MRGCD was created in 1925 to alleviate flooding in the Middle Rio Grande Valley, and to reclaim marshy land for agriculture. Since then, the MRGCD has been responsible for diversion and delivery of water to more than 70,000 acres of farmland, management of more than 30,000 acres of bosque, and operation of more than 1,200 miles of agricultural canals and ditches. The service area of the MRGCD extends along 150 miles of the Rio Grande – through four of the largest, fastest-growing counties in the state (Sandoval, Bernalillo, Valencia and Socorro). As one of the largest water users and land managers in the state, the MRGCD plays a critical role in state water and environmental policy.
