From: Albuquerque Water Utility Authority

Good Afternoon Ms. Lipton,

The attached Memoranda of Agreement are responsive to Item No. 1 of your Inspection of Public Records Act request:

***Memorandum of Understanding Between the City of Albuquerque, County of Bernalillo and the Albuquerque Bernalillo Water Utility Authority Regarding Adoption of City Water and Wastewater Utility Policies and Procedures, dated January 21, 2004.

***Memorandum of Understanding Between the City of Albuquerque and the Albuquerque Bernalillo County Water Utility Authority, dated March 21, 2007.

***Memorandum of Understanding Between the City of Albuquerque and the Albuquerque Bernalillo County Water Utility Authority, dated July 1, 2013.

***First Supplemental Agreement Memorandum of Understanding Between the City of Albuquerque and the Albuquerque Bernalillo County Water Utility Authority, dated June 29, 2018.

The Albuquerque-Bernalillo County Water Utility Authority Franchise Ordinance, which is also attached, may be considered too responsive to Item No. 1 of your request.

As to Item No. 2, there are no public records that are responsive to your request. The Water Authority is a political subdivision of the State of New Mexico, and as a governmental entity, it is responsible for the operation and management of the entire water and wastewater systems, but it does not “own” it in the traditional sense of the word.

With regards to the emails, we are working with our IT Department to get those for you.

Respectfully,
