As you will discover, the simple purpose of the EVLRWSA is to protect the waters of the area that the District encompasses. To accomplish this purpose requires commitment from the community and funding from a variety of sources. The EVLRWSA is installing a community wastewater system as an alternative to and a replacement for the many septic systems that abound in the Taos Valley.
