About Us

Doña Ana Mutual Domestic Water Consumers Association (MDWCA) was founded in 1976, beginning with just 76 connections supplied by a single well. Since then, we’ve grown significantly and now proudly serve:

  • Nearly 6,700 water connections

  • 1,500 wastewater connections

  • Over 15,000 residents

To meet our community’s needs, we operate 12 wells and 7 storage tanks with a combined capacity of 4.5 million gallons, along with a wastewater treatment plant capable of processing 200,000 gallons per day.

Growth Through Mergers

In 2013, our Association expanded rapidly through the merger of three neighboring water systems:

  • April 2013: Acquired Fort Selden Water Company, adding service to approximately 400 homes

  • December 2013: Acquired Picacho Hills Utility Company, bringing water service to 900 homes and wastewater service to 850 homes

  • December 2013: Acquired Fairview Estates Water System, which served 52 homes

  • December 2018: Acquired West Mesa Water System, which served 104 homes

Our Structure

Doña Ana MDWCA is a political subdivision of the State of New Mexico. We are proud to be the largest Mutual Domestic Water Association in New Mexico.

Our organization is led by a five-member volunteer Board of Directors, elected by and from our membership. Each board member represents one of five districts within our service area.

Our Commitment

Our dedicated staff takes great pride in delivering reliable, high-quality water and wastewater services to our community. We are committed to transparency, sustainability, and the long-term health of our region’s water supply.
