NOTICE OF RIGHT TO INSPECT PUBLIC RECORDS
By law, under the Inspection of Public Records Act, every person has the right to inspect public records of the City of Aztec. The Act also makes compliance with requests to inspect public records, an integral part of the routine duties of the officers and employees of the City of Aztec.
Requests to inspect public records should be submitted to the records custodian, (City Clerk) located at Aztec City Hall, 201 W.

A person desiring to inspect public records may submit a request to the records custodian orally or in writing. However, the procedures and penalties prescribed by the Act apply only to written requests. A written request must contain the name, address and telephone number of the person making the request. The request must describe the records sought in sufficient detail to enable the records custodian to identify and locate the requested records.
The records custodian must permit inspection immediately or as soon as practicable, but no later than fifteen (15) calendar days after the records custodian receives the inspection request. If inspection is not permitted within three (3) business days, the person making the request will receive a written response explaining when the records will be available for inspection or when the public body will respond to the request.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR DRINKING WATER
Aztec Domestic Water System Failed to Correct Significant Deficiencies Within Required Time Frame
Este informe contiene injormacion importante acerca de su agua potable. Haga que alguien lo traduzca para usted, o hable con algulen que lo entienda.
Our water system recently violated a drinking water requirement. Although this incident was not an emergency, as our customers, you have a right to know what happened and what we did (are doing) to correct this situation. Our water system has chlorine booster station on this tank to provide a sufficient residual to inactivate disease causing organisms.
A routine sanitary survey conducted on August 16, 2017, by the New Mexico Environment Department-Drinking Water Bureau (NMED DWB) found the bladder tank leaking and not secured from the elements.
Affected area: are those consumers living on the south side of Aztec, south of the Comfort Inn (Included), and Flora Vista.
006G - Storage tank not secured from the elements.
We were required to take action to correct these deficiencies. However, we failed to take this action by the deadline established by the NMED DWB.
What should I, (the consumer) do?
• There is nothing you need to do. You do not need to boil your water or take other corrective actions. However, if you have specific health concerns, consult your doctor.
• If you have a severely compromised immune system, have an infant, are pregnant, or are elderly, you may be at increased risk and should seek advice from your health care providers about drinking this water. General guidelines on ways to lessen the risk of infection by microbes are available from EPA's Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1-800-426-4791.
What does this mean?
This is not an emergency. If it had been, you would have been notified within 24 hours.
*Inadequately treated water may contain disease-causing organisms. These organisms include bacteria, viruses, and parasites which can cause symptoms such as nausea, cramps, diarrhea, and associated headaches.•
These symptoms, however, are not caused only by organisms in drinking water, but also by other factors. If you experience any of these symptoms and they persist, you may want to seek medical advice.
What is being done?
The city Is in the process of getting funding to replace the tank. We anticipate resolving the problem within two years, based off the amount of funding we receive. Your patience is appreciated in this matter.
For more information, please contact:*Please share this information with all the other people who drink this water, especially those who may not have received this notice directly (for example, people in apartments, nursing homes, schools, and businesses}. You can do this by pasting this notice in a public place or distributing copies by hand or mail.•
