About Us 

The Water Protection Advisory Board (WPAB) was established by a joint ordinance from the Water Utility Authority, the City of Albuquerque and Bernalillo County. The purpose of the WPAB is to study and advise the Authority, City and County on surface and ground water protection concerns; to oversee implementation of the Ground Water Protection Policy and Action Plan; to promote consistency in Authority, City and County actions to protect surface and ground water quality; and to advocate effective protection of surface and ground water quality.

After five years of planning and research, the Albuquerque / Bernalillo County Ground-Water Protection Policy and Action Plan (GPPAP) was adopted by the County in November 1993 and the City in August 1994.  The plan was updated and revised in 2009 with a Surface Water Protection Policy and Action Plan and integrated into a single Water Quality Protection Policy and Action Plan (WQPPAP) [2MB pdf].

The WPAB consists of nine members, two of whom are appointed by the Authority, three of whom are appointed by the Mayor with the advice and consent of the City Council, and three of whom are appointed by the County Commission. One member is appointed jointly by the County Commission and the Mayor with the advice and consent of the City Council. The WPAB meets on the second Friday of each month at Bernalillo County Public Works, Building N Conference Room, at 8:30 a.m.
