Environmental Assessment of the Prather Water Line Improvement Project Otero County, New Mexico

Abstract

HAFB and the City of Alamogordo (CoA) jointly hold water rights to Bonito Lake. The purpose of the Prather waterline is to connect the CoA water system to the HAFB water system and deliver HAFB's share of the lake water rights. The Prather line consists of approximately 18,500 linear feet of fifty-year old 16 inch steel reinforced concrete cylinder pipe, buried south along Hamilton Road from U.S. Highway 54/70 to HAFB's Boles Wells Water System Annex (BWWSA). It is the only interconnection between the CoA and HAFB water systems. It is well beyond its original life expectancy, operates at reduced pressure which limits delivery volume, and breaks frequently causing lake water delivery failure. The Prather pipeline is critical infrastructure.
