Water softeners in Sunland Park and Santa Teresa
Softener and drinking-water help at the southern tip of New Mexico, beside El Paso.
Sunland Park was incorporated in 1983 and counted 16,702 residents in 2020, making it Doña Ana County's second-largest city. It sits at the foot of Mount Cristo Rey beside the Rio Grande, with El Paso to the east and Ciudad Juárez to the south. The unincorporated community of Santa Teresa borders it to the northwest.
Who supplies the water?
The Camino Real Regional Utility Authority (CRRUA) supplies Sunland Park and operates facilities in Santa Teresa. After a 2023 state sanitary survey turned up 58 deficiencies, KVIA reported in May 2024 that the utility was working through a corrective checklist, including confirming its arsenic treatment plants were producing water under the 10 parts per billion standard. For current results, read CRRUA's latest water quality report.
Why residents ask about RO
Many households here want a drinking tap they control. If that's you, ask a company which under-sink systems are independently certified for the contaminants you care about, such as arsenic, and test the water before and after. A softener alone doesn't treat arsenic.
Typical requests
- Under-sink reverse osmosis systems
- Softeners in newer subdivision homes
- Sediment and carbon filtration
